If I were your husband, with your religious sentiment and my normal horny, I would be doing whatever I could to get my mind off of sex. No cuddles, a minimum of sexual touching.
The reason has to do with testicles. Yep, those things. While it is true that they don't actually turn blue, they do get awfully painful when they are full. That is doubly bad if you repeatedly get turned on. Production steps up, but no release. Rinse and repeat.
I think that you two should discuss the issues and come up with an equitable solution. You can't expect him to know what you want automagically.
Communication is your friend. Conflict avoidance is not.
Tell him what you want and find out what his issue is. Figure out a solution. Maybe he doesn't suffer from the dreaded 'blue balls', either way, you will find out.
Hands are pretty useful when you can't do it the normal way.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
