Sex within a committed relationship?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year, and we've been having sex for the last six months. Given that we are in a committed relationship, should I feel obligated to do it with him whenever he wants? Sometimes I just don't want to. No, he has never forced me to do it. Should he feel a sense of entitlement over my body because I'm his long time girlfriend?
 
No. By being in an excusive long term relationship, he should feel that he's the only one who has your body, not that he can use it whenever it suits him.

The way I see it is that if you're in a committed relationship you're more likely to want to please your partner and would sometimes have sex more for their pleasure than yours, but you shouldn't ever have sex when you truely don't want it. It'll just feel rubbish, and will start to make you resent having it at all.

If you're not in the mood, but he REALLY is and you don't fancy it. Try doing other things which could please him which doesn't actually involve having full intercourse. Go down on him, or think of other things he might appreciate.
