Why do you expect him to be always up for it? Because he has a penis?
I've had sex SO MANY times when I'd much rather sleep or otherwise didn't feel like having sex at all because I like my sex partners and want to please them. I don't see what's so wrong with putting out simply because your partner would like you to. I like to have sex and can get into it if called upon unless there's some sort of real problem, and if that's true I'm sure my partner would know about it and wouldn't try to get me to have sex with him in that case.
My point is, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to expect your partner to want to have sex with you.
You might need to spice up your sex life. Get some toys, new pornos, and some lingerie. Play by yourself, that way you dont need him. And when he sees that you dont want to have sex with him all the time. He 's going to start getting curious. And I think that the fact that he only last 10 minutes is because he is comfortable, just like when women start to gain weight. You reach a level where you dont want to give the extra work. My bf and I went through this...communication is key. Tell him how you feel, instead of thinking he should know how you feel.

This, of course, assumes there aren't deeper issues causing the drop in sex drive, which could include anything from stress to medications to depression to chemical imbalances to medical conditions,
Agreed. Sometimes the easiest place to start are the rule-outs. Has he been to a doctor recently, had a physical? It's easy for him to request a hormone profile. What's his job/school stress level and how does he handle it, if he handles it at all (does he ignore it, drink it away, etc etc)? Has he lost enthusiasm for other activities he used to enjoy? When did his drop in sex drive start? Any noticable triggers in his/your shared life?
Medical rule-outs are easy, psychological not so much. Is the only area of your life being affected your sex life, or are there other issues that you two are not addressing?
Thanks for all the advice and such. I am going to try some things. He said he has been stressed lately and we need to discuss that more.
Have a great day!
I feel your pain. My wife has some medical issues, including a condition that makes sex painful. Between the pain and the medications, or sex life is almost non-existant - maybe once a month.

You don't always have to use a penis to get your partner off. I agree with what Al said. Sometimes i would be dead tired, but i would still find the energy to get up and pleasure my girlfriend.
