I know it will hurt his feelings and pride but you just have to be honest with him. Communicate how you feel and try to find a way to solve it together. Tell him what you like in bed, what had gotten you to the finish line. Men can’t read minds. Communication is key, along with maybe try toys and stuff together, could add a new element or spice it up.
Hi OP, I read about this stuff and figured out the key. Both have sensors and emotions with interests. What separates sex from fetish is that both partners figure their sensors and emotions and dance tougher which is foreplay while fetish is appeasing a particular abstract to a sensor. Fetish is a shortcut people take as in rough sex to trigger the sensors and for both sides be primed. But this becomes a drug. Foreplay is the answer but it requires to learn to dance and map the sensor/emotions
One simple thing he can do is to find a way to focus and see how you focus. So to do things where both focus and with this focus can synchronize. Hugging or even a therapeutic massage while maintaining the mood. As he does this he’s mapping you out and learning to dance. What do you think stops him from noticing that you are left out?
