wow!!!!
my kind of conversation, sorry i'm coming to it so late

she said yes, she wants your touch, plain and simple

that being said, DO NOT MAKE IT SEXUAL
if she is not ready that will turn her off faster than freddy krueger in a nightie

if you can see that she wants more (when you are in bed, perhaps) i would give a slight signal
believe me, she knows them all
and we hate rejection

to answer your question "But what is needed for a woman to feel touched?"
tho it is different for us all, for me it's the little things he does during the day,
when he really sees me and really hears me
that is huge for me
when he grabs a guitar (in your case pen) and spontaneously serenades
when i see him close to our son
but really the big thing is when i feel like he sees who i am and hears what i say
that doesn't happen anymore, but when it did it i was so touched and it was a huge turn on

women and men are so different
you get turned on by what you see
we get turned on by what you say and do

when the urge comes (during your massage) and it will
quell it
batten down the hatches so to speak
let her just feel that you are loving her without wanting anything in return

it just might make her want something
