I think that was a great convo. Have you ever thought of saying something like this to your H.

"What if I told you that in order to be receptive to sex, I needed 5 minutes of breast stimulation. Would you feel like that was a valid request? I understand that you are capable of enjoying sex without a verbally expressed sign of emotional connection, but often I am not. I would hope that you would try to understand what I am telling you and I hope in the future you will make a real effort to satisfy me in this regard in the same way that I would hope that you would try to enjoy satisfying me in terms of breast stimulation rather than just giving me a cursory rub and tweak before getting down to what is the "real business" of sex in your opinion."
