And I think it's normal for sex frequency to wane as years go by? We went from 2-3 times a day to once a day to 2x a week to once a week to once a month. LOL. I also am the one initiating more lately.

I really don't care. It's not the end all and be all for me. I also think you being stress after work is a factor. My husband is the same whenever I mount him which is EVERY night, he always whines he is tired and I ALWAYS said I don't care. LOL. For me mounting him at night and canoodling is enough.
As the years go by? The OP is in his 20's! And has only been with his gf 3 years.

And I don't recall the OP saying he did porn. Did I miss something?

Oh, thanks. I guess I did miss it. So, then-- he doesn't have a low libido?
Maybe the OP doesn't need to talk to an MD. Maybe he needs to see a counselor for possible depression and relationship issues.

He fessed up when called on it. I never allow porn to interfere with the essential business of marital bonding. If it means laying off the stuff for a few hours before date night comes around, it's a small sacrifice to make. At 20, however, ... at 20 I could do both simultaneously... and again three hours later and again ... either they don't make 20 year old's like they used to anymore or the one under discussion needs to see a doctor.

He's actually closer to 30. He said "late 20's". But still. I agree w/you--that's how the 20-somethings I knew were, but we've had quite a few guys on this forum who say your description at 20 is totally unrealistic. They say 2-3 times/week is the most any 20-something can handle.
But...whatever. The OP does seem to need some kind of professional evaluation and help.

Too much porn and processed food. It also causes this epidemic of depression and anxiety IMO (unhealthy food). I have not heard about this problem in other countries.

The current issue: we only have sex around once a month. I'm generally not in the mood, for a combination of factors (I hate my job and it's stressful so when I get home I just want to relax; my sex-drive has generally gone down; I feel that the sessions last too long (45-50 minutes) and I get bored in the middle of them; she's gained a bit of weight since we first started dating, and I've lost some physical attraction to her; she has complained about her weight in the past but puts no effort into it, even though I try to encourage her to join me when working out, to eat healthier with me).
It is a miracle she has not left you.

Yes, that's correct.
Try giving her a gift of KY Intense gel. It might be the boost she needs.
