How about saying, "Why don't you touch me then? I need some physical closeness from you."

Does everything have to go from Hairy-to-Wifey or can she be expected to reciprocate if it feels hot to have your hands on her?

I do this with my H, who btw is also plagued and disgusted by my hot hands, and sometimes he will gladly touch me; others it comes with sighs and a bad attitude.

Man I am absolutely hormonal and ready to tear someone's head off today so you guys should take what I say with a grain.
