Me and my boyfriend spend most days together/stay over at eachothers most nights. Yet I can't remember the last time we had sex. Must've been at least a few weeks ago now, maybe a month -yet we see eachother/sleep together in the literal sense almost every day. I know it's quite personal, but is this normal? Should I be worried?

Depression - and stress can affect your sex drive.

However, it's also true that for a lot of people in longer term relationships going to bed tends to be about going to sleep rather than having sex - just as well really :)

If you have had a good nights sleep but wake quite early then its probably better to get up (quietly) and start doing things elsewhere than just lying in bed because the mind does have a tend to fixate on things if you don't

Have you tried talking to your partner about it to find out how he is feeling.

For me the best part of sex was often the sleeping together afterwards.

Hello

You need to ask if something is wrong, it may be the relationship is not intense as it was in the past, life can slow down over time. You have gone through a rough period with your depression He could be picking up on that and giving you time to sort your emotions out, He may be worried by what he is seeing, Depression is a real passion killer.

Lots of things affect sexual intimacy in a relationship.

Truth is there is no "normal" frequency.

My partner and I live a long way apart. We are at it like rabbits when we get together, so we probably even out to the average of twice a week.

Not what you're looking for?
