My boyfriend has really been emotionally impacted by the pandemic, having been a frontline worker. I think he is suffering from some mild depression or at the very least some intense anxiety, so I just want to preface this by saying I completely sympathize with what he s going through. Before the pandemic we had a really good sex life, but lately he hasn t been interested in sex at all besides a few assisted masturbation sessions. While I know that these aren t usual times, I can t help feeling rejected.
