Partner wants LESS sex? Red flag?

But of a weird one but interested to get other peoples perspectives!
We have been in a relationship for around 18 months with a break of about 3 months about half way through that.
Everything has been going well and I was thinking we were making progress & was starting to relax a bit.
Last time I saw him he said he thinks we have sex to much and maybe we shouldn’t have any at all next month !
The relationship was initially mostly physical and based on attraction, we have been making an effort this time around to do more fun things together although we do still have a lot of sex. The last couple of weeks in particular we have been having a lot, I wouldn’t say it’s me that instigates it and it is about 50/50. Now he’s has announced we are having to much sex.
I feel hurt and like it is because he has gone off me or that he thinks the sex we are having isn’t adventurous or exciting enough. When I’ve tried to open a conversation about things he would like etc though it is like trying to get blood out of a stone!

Why are you posting on several old threads? It's weird. If you want to join a thread look in active threads and comment on those. Nobody needs advice a year after they posted the question.

So in 18 months you’ve already had a 3 month break and now he wants a month long sex ban?

No way is this a healthy dynamic. Leave now before he starts laying down more controlling rules

I agree with this.

You can stop posting about your thoughts on this person's sex life 'as a guy' since I've already pointed out that the thread was posted a year ago. It's not about being dyslexic, you must be searching for old posts to be reviving several of them as there is no way you'd see them otherwise. Is it the word sex in the title?
