Sex got boring after a couple of months

I really want advice and for my situation to get better, so I will be explicitly talking about our sex life.

My husband and I got married almost six months ago and I feel like our sex life is slowly but surely dying.

I have trouble getting wet or even aroused in my mind. Same goes for my husband, he just doesn’t display any hunger for me. I think he enjoys the sex more than me, given that he cums every time, but funnily enough I am always the one initiating.

I guess that doesn’t help me feel desired but my husband has trouble expressing himself in that way. He thinks he has to stay composed and decent all the time. Whereas I am (for a Christian I guess) really open that way. I have no trouble saying the dirtiest things and I would try and do anything he tells me to. It’s just that he doesn’t know what he is supposed to ask of me ig, whereas I have read all kinds of things.

What sucks is that it didn’t use to be like this. We both waited till marriage and the weeks and months before the wedding we hardly could keep our hands off each other. We used to touch the whole time, make out and we also did “hand-stuff” over our clothes. We both have reached orgasm that way. I used to get really really wet just from him touching my lower back, sometimes just from the sound of his voice.

When we started having sex, yes it hurt, sometimes it still does but we know how to manage now and once he is inside, I do grow a little wetter. I enjoy sex and I like the feelings. But starting from a couple months I don’t get wet anymore just on exception.

It is like his touch and his words don’t arouse me anymore. They feel uninspired to me and a bit boring as I now know exactly what he is going to do. I did tell him what I want but if I ask too much he grows self conscious and the situation gets worse. The times when he is confident, sex is amazing and we Both get really into it. It’s just that that happens almost never now.

I try on my side my best to arouse him and make it good for him but I have the same trouble. What really set him off in the beginning just doesn’t seem to work anymore. I went through all the sites of the internet and I keep reading on what new to do and try but it’s not working.

Did reality just catch up to us? Was it only good before because a) before marriage it was a little forbidden and b) then it was new and exciting and now it’s just boring reality?

I really don’t know what to do anymore I notice it getting worse every week seemingly and sure that doesn’t help my headspace but I don’t want it that way. I know sex can be amazing and I want to have a bedroom with my husband that’s alive. But how can we get there?

Can it be connected to prayer-life? I think we didn’t really yet manage on how to share that and make it a big priority in our relationship.

Sorry for the long post, has anyone experienced the same?

Any and all advice is appreciated!
