me (20ftm) and my partner (21m) are struggling /u/Ez_Milo Sex

as the title suggests, we’re struggling. we’ve been together a year and a half and do not live together. i only feel any kind of intimacy in the relationship through sex. he is fulfilled by other non sexual forms of intimacy and has a relatively low sex drive. this means my need for intimacy isn’t being met. i don’t want to pressure him or make him feel like he has to do things he doesn’t want, but it leaves me unfulfilled, and i’m upset a lot of the time because my need for intimacy can’t be met. i’m we’re planning to see a sex therapist in the coming months but wanted to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar and how they worked through it.
