Lexapro is an SSRI medication. This will reduce your sex drive. Take with your doc and change the meds to others if possible.

You’re a good girlfriend. You have empathy for your boyfriend’s needs. With some people having a low libido is not their problem but their partner’s problem.
The depression med is probably robbing your libido. You can ask your doctor to try another med. He may have to experiment until he finds a med which does not impact your libido so much. It’s not necessary for you to be in the mood to agree to sex. You may have responsive desire. You can also do non-piv sex with your bf. Not a substitute but he will appreciate it. Hope everything goes well.
