Not weird: I know it's frustrating, and maybe seems a bit sad, but 'troubles' with men and lovemaking are very common. It's not just your husband, many men go through this. No easy answers i'm afraid - and each couple is unique - but trust that your husband love you. Some find counseling helpful, some not - but keeping lines of communication open is always good. Best wishes.

Agree w Dr. Honore: It sounds like the goal of sexual intercourse may have moved from pleasure to productivity & performance. How about just enjoying time together being caring, romantic and sensual without focus on conception. Pleasure is often less stressful then work. Focus on pleasure and emotional intimacy first. Take care.
