I (23/F) and my partner (23/M) have been dating for a while, and everything is great. He's super thoughtful and kind and everything else about our relationship is in sync, except for our sex life. I have a fairly high sex drive, but his isn't as high as mine. Most of the time I'm initiating sex, and a fair amount of the time he doesn't want to have sex when I try to get things going, but when we do have sex it is wonderful and he fully engages with it and more. I understand that people have different sex drives, and I don't want to push him to do things when he isn't comfortable with it. I sometimes just do things on my own and ask him to help out a bit, which he does and I appreciate. To me, sex is a way to feel close to my partner and I understand that he values other ways of expressing love, but I still can't help but feel a little frustrated. That said, I was wondering if anyone with similar experiences might have any advice for how I can handle this, because the last thing I would want is to make him uncomfortable or feel bad for not being able to oblige every time.
TLDR my partner's sex drive is lower than mine and I need advice on how to deal with it.
