Advice wanted

hey guys. me and my partner have been together 9 months. We met, fell in love, and moved in together in the space of 3 weeks. Everything is really good between us, but I feel like I have some issues. Sexually, I feel I initiate the majority of the time, but I get pushed back a lot. I would say I have a pretty healthy sex drive. These issues have been around for a while now. We have spoken about it, and he feels bad because in a previous relationship he was the one getting turned down and he feels like a hypocrite. That expierenced knocked his confidence and I trust that that is why we are having this problem and not because of his attraction to me. I've never had this problem before so I am struggling with it a bit. The main thing is, is that even though I believe him it makes me feel so unattractive. I feel less confident, a bit unwanted, and its really making me overthink and be paranoid in other aspects of our relationship. We have spoken about it and he has said he will try, but its slow moving and even still I feel bad. I just want him to want me. I dont want it to feel like a chore. I'm not sure what I can do to help him, or help myself. He doesn't get himself off (I trust him about this too) and neither do I. But I feel not great about it. And the fact that he has been in my position before just makes me feel like he must have been far more attracted to someone else to keep trying atleast but not so much with me because it just doesn't seem the same. We do have sex regularly, but it just feels its on its schedule and I get knocked back. Any advice?
