I click with my new man on every level – except he doesn’t want to have sex

The medication he’s on reduces his libido and means he can’t take erectile dysfunction products. But I’m a very sensual person – what can I do?I started dating someone I really like about two months ago. We click on all levels and he adores me, but he has some complicated circumstances, which means we have no sex life. He has anxiety and takes SSRIs, which reduce his libido. He also takes blood thinners for a coronary issue, which I know precludes the use of erectile dysfunction products. He has also said that he never really felt a lot of lovingness from his previous partners. He says he’s attracted to me and likes my body. He kisses me to show his interest and attraction but not in a heavy making-out way.I am a very sensual person. My former partner and I had the best sex I’ve ever had in my life – however, he could be very distant at times and had poor emotional intelligence and communication with me (unlike my current partner). I have never had this issue with anyone else, so although I understand his vulnerability, I’m unsure what else to do other than wait. For now, I am willing to be patient.
