Dead bedroom advice

Seeking advice

Howdy. So Ive (29F) been with my bf (29M) for about ten months. Our sex life has been kind of rocky the entire time. I have a pretty high libido or at least it’s average. He is on some meds that cause him to experience very low libido and even has been struggling with ED. I am understanding and okay with moving slowly, but even when we do have sex it feels very forced, rigid, and awkward. I feel like my mentioning needing more affection has actually made it feel more pressured when we finally do. I’m in my head a lot that im not attractive or that it feels forced just to please me and it’s a chore for him. I don’t believe that’s the case. I have suggested possibly switching meds (I’ve been on what he is on and have successfully switched) but I feel like that’s solely his decision and I respect that. However, I’m not sure what is going on is very sustainable. Am I overthinking this? Could we make it work or is chemistry not something we can grow? Everything else is wonderful but then whenever we have rigid sex I spiral about it. I do miss great sex.. I’m not sure what to do.
