Tell your boyfriend to grow up. He doesn’t own you. People grow and change, and you have outgrown him. It could just as well have been the opposite way.

This has happened to me when my sexual interest was rejected by a woman over a long period of time. I would be spending time with her, sitting there with a hard-on, but no opportunity to use it. Eventually the erections go away. It’s called Conditioning.
I have experienced that. There’s an actual psychological term for it: Rejection Sensitivity. Another result is Atychiphobia – fear of failure. Both of these are real phenomena. You should take a break after a few rejections to allow your self esteem to recover. We men must somehow achieve a level of confidence (whether it’s real or not) that allows us to continue trying. Take some time before you resume the game.
