Boyfriend not interested in sex

My boyfriend is 44 and I am 28. When we have been together about a year. We had sex when we first met every once in awhile, but not often, Now almost a year later and he still wont have sex with me. And always has an excuse or indirect answer when I ask. we even live together. I am confused and it hurts my feelings. I am unsure of how to feel or what to do. Is there something going on Im just not reconizing. Please help!

As men age, their sexual desire and urge gradually lessens. Men of 44 aren't as interested in sex as 19 year old men! This is because testosterone levels natually drop a small amount every year. So this is normal. However there may be certain other factors which affect his enjoyment of sex and his ability to get and keep an erection. See the pages on erectile dysfunction. However I don't suggest that you show your boyfriend these pages straight away as most men take offence at assuming they have a problem.

If he is fine and healthy, then I suggest taking regular exercise. It sounds like a cliché but exercise helps stimulate the production of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin and can be very good for stimulating interest in sex.
