My girlfriend and I have been together for around 6 months. When we first started talking, it came up, and she said that when she's with someone, "it happens", meaning that she likes to have a lot of sex, and her boyfriends have always been satisfied. We started having sex early on in the relationship, and it was quite frequent, around 5 times a week or so. For the last month and a half or so, it just dropped off. Now I'm lucky if it happens once a week. We've talked about it and it bothers her just as much as it does me. For that reason, I try not to bring it up, but I'm tired of going to bed frustrated because of a lack of release.
She's under a bit more stress than when we met, and that can contribute to it. She's also gained a little (like, maybe 5 lbs) weight. I'm trying to be as understanding as possible, and really do my best to hold back if I want something, because I don't want her to feel self-conscious about her lack of desire.
This has begun to affect our relationship. I find myself thinking very asshole-esque things when it comes to any comment about sex at all. Talking about it really doesn't seem to help anymore, it only makes her stress about it more.

Any ideas?
