She knows the physical part and you need the words to explain the other part...gotcha.
I am coming from this as a typical HDW. My H sees me as this emotional woman who needs sex as a way to connect and blah blah. It is still, after all these years, a shock to his system to learn that I have physical needs. Women aren't supposed to be like that, etc. So if I were to focus on the emotional part, he'd get that but automatically think that this is stuff he can do without having to have sex. So I have to focus on the physical part at the same time.
I'm now understanding that you are an HD man and she no doubt knows that you have physical needs. You probably demonstrate this to her a zillion times a week. I'm so OUT of it when it comes to how men act, having lived with my H for 11 years, that I'm misunderstanding the question.
