About 6 months ago, I had a talk with my wife. Admittedly, she's hard to talk to in that she doesn't express what she's feeling well. However, I did get out of her that she just wasn't feeling as "sexual" as before. I'm 51 and she's 47. She still looks great and I am very physically attracted to her. Anyway, she said this and that sometimes I came on too strong. I listened and acknowledged what she said. In return, I told her that I needed sexual intimacy, that it was important to me. We agreed that I would not be so touchy Feely all the time and if I wanted intimacy and she wasn't in the mood, that she'd be OK with just watching (works for me). So after six months, i checked in and she said that the plan was working for her. Is it ideal for me? No, but our relationship is worth me adapting to it. Plus, she has been more receptive to my interest for intamcy. In fact, after I checked in, we went upstairs... Talk to your partner. If you've been with them long-term, sometimes they can change. Even though intimacy is important for me, the history and family we have together is much more important. 😁
