One thing that would have helped me is for H to talk more during sex and foreplay, to make it clear that his desire was for me specifically.

Also, although he never goes straight to intercourse, I am one of those women who needs to be somewhat aroused before I want certain parts touched. It wasn't until I did some reading last year that I realized this is something men might not expect.

I suggest reading books geared to women who don't like sex to see some of this perspective.

There is also work I've done on my side.
