19 and I Just Don’t Want it Much

I am a 19yr old college student and I have had some issues with my libido for like 6 months now and it creates a frustrating cycle where my anxiety that it isn’t getting better, in turn makes it worse. I have been in a relationship for two years and at the beginning I was really driven to sex, but over time it sort of just slowed nearly to a stop. For context, I have no sexual interest in anyone (no do I have a strong interest in masturbation) and I am very attracted to my partner still. I am afraid I might just have uncharacteristically low T or maybe it is all psychological, I just don’t know why it started in the first place.

I think a small part of it is that I generally have some discomfort with sex and tend to feel shame afterward at times. I also tend to feel physically dirty and immediately need a shower to feel comfortable again. I am trying to train this out of me but it just makes me feel less interested in doing it again. Any thoughts?
