My boyfriend [19M] is mad at me [19M] for not being intimate when I’m asexual.

I established at the very beginning that I’m on the asexual spectrum because it’s only fair my partners know what they’re getting into, so I’m not always going to be intimate in that manner. We are still intimate, but not all the time. At least once or twice a week.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 months now and he gets very irritated or ‘pent up’ (his words) if we don’t do anything every few days.

I’m not sure what to do, the last thing either of us want is for me to force myself through it, but it’s clearly putting strain on things between us even when he tells me it’s not something he would leave me over.

I’ve tried to talk to him about it but he just deflects with “I know but it’s still very frustrating”. I just feel a little hopeless about it all because I can’t control when I’m feeling intimate.
