This is so stupid.
Fuck your boyfriend, for god's sake. Even your description of when you do get him off sounded boring and lackluster.
Think about it. He has an overly needy girlfriend, who makes a very large and 'frightened' deal out of her boyfriend jacking it, and then decides that couples counseling is a good way to talk about it?
Fuck your boyfriend AND LIKE IT, because someone else is about to.
Also, you call them 'urges he cannot control.' I'd bet a dollar right now that he CAN control his urges, but didn't really give a damn.
And, I agree, we would all like for our partners to be most attracted to ourselves (I would certainly stray away from 'only attracted' like the OP said). But, what's to be attracted to in sporadic, lackluster, self-conscious sex (in all likelihood, coerced-via-necessity)?
