Why do intimate conversations slow down over time in LDR?
My partner (32M) and I (27F) have been in a LDR for a year now and have been seeing eachother every couple of months. Early on the relationship our sexy conversations and sometimes intimate video calls would happen pretty often and were hot and heavy and a lot of spicy photos and videos were sent back and forth. The conversation was initiated mutually.
In the past few months it rarely happens unless I start it. Ive told him that it's an important part of our relationship to me and I have those needs. But lately I've been the one to initiate it and have grown tired of it and sometimes even feel alone in that sense. I've asked why he doesnt anymore and he said it's just not a priority for him to talk about that and it's more important to him how it is physically in person. He said he would try to get it on more. After this, I would still send him pics to get the conversation rolling but it would just be brief spicy comments as a response and nothing in depth.
I wouldnt think he's not attracted to me anymore since the last time in person it was just as always. My problem is that when we're apart he doesn't initiate sexual conversation anymore. Is it just that the honeymoon phase is over and this is how he truly is? How come as a man (assuming he needs it too) he doesn't care to talk about this when initially he would? My head goes in a different direction sometimes where I cant help but think what if he's getting that satisfaction from other places online? I am 100% sure there is no cheating and honestly it's silly to think he would be chatting with an AI bot for that lol...
Your kind advice could help me understand what's going on and how I could navigate this situation.
correction: in the title by intimate I meant conversations about sex
