So where do i go from here.

If HE feels he doesn't need sex as often then tell him you would still like him to please YOU! It doesn't always have to be penetrative sex if he doesn't want that but if he loves you then he should want to please you. Ask him to give you plenty of stimulation through oral or whatever it is that turns you on. It's not all about him though and there's got to be a compromise here.
Buy some new toys and ask him to use them on you. Be more spontaneous, give HIM oral when he least expects it, I'm sure THAT will turn him on. Of course he can't "turn on" on demand but with a bit of titillation then he'll become aroused, he's a man after all!

Why is his heart not in it? Have you asked him that? I think you need to sit down with him and have a good talk with him. Ask him if he still has feelings for you or does he find you repulsive to look at? It sounds to me as if he's just being selfish here and lazy! He prefers to masturbate to please HIMSELF rather than spend any time pleasing you.
If, after the talk he DOES say he still loves you then why don't you try to spice up your sex life? I can give you some ways to do that if you want me to. Have that talk with him first though to see exactly where you stand with him and how he actually feels about you now. It could be he feels he's in a rut, that the relationship is more of a habit than anything else. Maybe he just needs a kick start in the sex department. Find out his thoughts first though then get back to me okay?
