Dear Anonymous,
When there is a challenge with physical intimacy, it could be a physiological or a psychological problem. Either case, it needs some treatment.
But the worse could be conditioning about sex from childhood.
We all carry our maps when it comes to sex and beliefs around it. Along comes so many people and media and more who draw on these maps and we are left at the mercy of things that don’t belong to us.
Since he cares for you as you mentioned it, can you request him to sit down with you for an honest conversation where you can express all of this to him.
Who knows he might be willing to understand, and things can flow from there on.
Be kind instead of accusatory in your tone during the conversation. This will help ease him as well. But of course, if he resists the request, you might suggest that he see a professional.
It might again be met with some resistance but well, you need to try every trick in the book to meet an outcome.
Also, be aware that physical intimacy happens when the closeness develops outside the bedroom. So, spend a lot of time together, laugh a lot.
Praise his efforts in the marriage and appreciate the qualities in him.
Most often men who avoid sex simply suffer from low self-esteem and self-worth. So, play along and mean every compliment from the heart.
Best wishes to you!
