I love taking care of him and providing him with all the respect he deserves.
My issue is that I am 22 years old, and I feel like I have no sex drive. But now I'm beginning to wonder if I have no sex drive for him. I can safely say that we have had sex, perhaps about 10 times in the past year. About two or three months we did spend apart, but don't people have sex 10 times in a week, sometimes? When I first met him, it wasn't much of an issue, but then again, new things are always exciting. I'm not sexually attracted to him. I think he's "cute". Really, he is a handsome guy and I shouldn't complain. His body is a bit sloppy and I tend to pay attention to physical fitness more than he, but I feel like most girls are pre-occupied with their looks much more than men are.
I don't want to let a relationship go that is so good just because I don't think he's hot. On the other end, I have to wonder how on earth he's stayed with me for such a long time when time after time I just "don't feel like it". I want to be hot for him! He deserves it. What is going on with me, and what should I do?

10 times a year is not a lot but 10 times a week is a bit excessive unless you are a really new couple...IMO
Every couple finds their own happy medium in that department.
Do you enjoy it when you do have it?
Maybe your bf needs to be better at turning you on? Not only does he deserve it but you also deserve a happy and fulfilling sex life.
I can't imagine being with someone I wasn't attracted to for the long term but sometimes there are physical things that could cause lack of sex drive. I would go see the gynecologist and see if there is a physical reason for the lack of sex drive, or perhaps if you are on medication that affects your drive.
