I think you raise some interesting issues, but most of them would require H to be willing to change some of his views, and I don't think it would be good for me to bring that up. I need to focus on me and what I can change.
That said, I am doing some things to up my sensual and sexual confidence, because I realize I have pretty much zero. I want to do that for me, and if H enjoys the side effects, that's a bonus.
