Partner wont have sex!

I have been with my partner for 2 years, we have no children together but I have a 4 year old from a previous relationship, we get along great together and are all lovey dovey and all that nonsense but my partner has a really low sex drive, so low that it is practically non existent! Is this quite common and is anyone else in a similar situation that could give me advice on how to cope without falling out with him, I'm only 23 and don't want to give up on my sex life just yet!

It's not so much a gender thing - some people simply do have lower libidos than others. What is selfish is refusing to address the problem or making vague promises to change and not actually doing anything.
Nesbo: sometimes when women post about not wanting sex with their partners, it rapidly becomes clear that the men in question are lazy and selfish WRT the rest of the relationship which often means they are lazy and selfish when it comes to actually engaging in sexual activity as well - which means that for the woman, sex has become all about despunking the man so he stops pestering: it's a chore she's expected to perform for his benefit. It's unusual for a man to be in the position where his partner expects him to run around after her and placate her all the time as well as giving her sexual servicing on demand.
