Often those folks that we think are "more into fcuking" are actually just as into "making love" but they actually look at kinkier acts as "proof" of your love OR are so uncomfortable with aspects of their sexuality that getting kinky allows them to focus on other things and stay away from feelings of closeness. It isn't a conscious choice or preference but it serves psychological needs just the same.
In terms of the acts proposed - is he willing to shave too? is he willing to have you "do" him with a kit like Nop suggested? What is good for the goose........... OTOH - maybe you could pick the least abhorrent on the list and give it a try?
