Partner never initiates sex and I am feeling rejected and lonely

Feeling miserable. Be gentle please 🙏
My partner of 6 years doesn't initiate or want sex.
Passionate kisses stopped a while ago and even then only happened when he was drunk. Doesn't seem to want blow jobs. Gone down on me once (first night) never since then. Have given up asking for him to be more attentive. Problems with ED from start apparently but didn't tell me at first. Tried counselling , was meant to be couples but only did one session and he went to do his own as that's what therapist suggested. Spent months with her, no change.
Feeling old before my time and I'm a few years older than him he's just gone 40). I shower every day, he doesn't bother. Have to basically beg for a massage.
Ended up paying for one regular as that's the only way I get touched. Not as fussed about sex and he knows this but just want intimacy. But now it's awkward and resentment has set in. Don't know whether it's just the ED, asexual, autism or just can't be bothered. Asked him if he was gay years ago, got really mad at me and walked off. But can't tell as he doesn't get hard anyway if naked men are on tv or anyone for that matter.

Good evening
I am sorry to hear this, I have a high sex drive but I love intimacy on any level.
If resentment is starting to set in. You need a very open very frank conversation. You are too young to not have sex or intimacy. I am a similar age and been through dry patches (not my doing) The conversation was difficult but once the information had sunk in it did improve. I wanted a connection and I told him I needed to feel affection. No real advice I wish I could say try this try that. I know it sounds extreme to end a good relationship but sex is important for so many reasons x

We’ve had the difficult conversations so many times. He just shuts down and won’t talk about it. It’s the touching that I miss and the feeling of being desired :( x

I'm in the same boat.

It's only maybe 5% about the sex, I just want to feel desired.

I've no good advice, I didn't want to tear apart an otherwise decent family, and he's a good man in every other respect. So I've made my bed and have to lie in it, it is frustrating though.
