But the thing in my house is that if I communicate with him well ahead of time that I'm not in the mood (or whatever) for sex that night -- I automatically get no touch whatsoever until the next night, when he think he stands a better chance of having sex. Or if I try to hug him or touch him later after I've let him know we won't be having sex, he thinks I changed my mind and now I want sex.
I don't think he understands the whole non sexual touch thing, he doesn't see a point in it, but I've done what I can, what is within my power to do to try and increase my drive... I need his help now.
I was going to bring it up to him last night -- But I don't know how. I should just blurt it out -- "I need non sexual touch occasionally"... I don't know.
