Can a marriage work when there is no sexual chemistry?

My husband is the type of guy that every little girl's parents hope she ends up marrying. He treats me amazingly and he is my best friend. The problem is that we've never had ANY sexual chemistry, as in I have never even felt anything when he kisses me. You may wonder why I married him when we have no chemistry, and the simple answer is that I didn't think that I wanted or needed chemistry, passion, or romance in a relationship. I had my heart broken pretty badly right before I started dating him, and I entered into the relationship very cynical when it came to the topic of love. I had in him a man who treated me nice that I got along with, and I thought that those things were all I needed. The problem is that I was wrong. In the beginning I was fine with the mediocre sex that goes hand in hand with emotionless sex devoid of chemistry. I used to get off just on the fact that he found me sexy and wanted to screw me all the time. However, now I just feel like his blow up doll and I get no enjoyment out of sex. I don't feel like myself anymore because before him sex was a huge part of who I was, and it gave me alot of confidence knowing how good I was at it. Now I only have sex when I'm guilted into it (probably on average once a week but getting worse), and I am happy when it's over quickly. I have brought it up to him what I need in the bedroom and he seems not to care. I don't know if I'm just in this rut because I'm dwelling on it too much or if a marriage simply can't work without chemistry.
