Me female (22) & boyfriend (25). Been together for a little longer than a year. 

I have always had a high sex drive. For the first couple of month we were together and his sex drive matched mine. It was perfect and our sexual chemistry is amazing. After around 7-8 months the sex (and his initiation) started dwindling until it was almost non existent. Sometimes I'd try to initiate (perhaps too subtly) and he would brush me off. 

I tried talking to him about it, but at first he denied it. Then came around to saying he doesn't know what's going on, he's just stressed and now he feels pressure. So I tried to make it clear to him that I don't need the sex exactly but that I still really enjoy the intimacy that comes with kissing and fondling even if it does not lead to sex. However, he still doesn't I guess make me feel wanted sexually as much as I would like or put that much effort. Sometimes he'll say he's just not in the mood to kiss or tell me that some people are just not that affectionate. 

I don't get the same satisfaction from masturbating as much of the excitement and turned on I get is from his body on mine and interacting with him in that way and what not. And so now I feel like  I still want sex from him all the time, but there's nothing  I can do about it if he's not in the mood, which leads to me getting frustrated and affects my mood sometimes. I feel so guilty because I know sex is not everything but I don't know what else to do. Any tips?

Sex drive is very high. Boyfriend doesn't respond as strongly anymore. High sex drive comes back but I get frustrated

I no longer have a sexual chemistry with my SO and I'm feeling guilty.
