How do I subtly tell hubbie I want foreplay?

My husband has never been one for foreplay. Is it too late to change him without upsetting him, or making him think sex has been rubbish up until now?

How do I subtly tell hubbie I want foreplay?

Foreplay is difficult to define. It’s an umbrella term which encompasses everything that happens before intercourse. That said, there’s no fail-safe formula to make it fantastic. Sometimes, great sex can be condensed into five amazing minutes, with no foreplay, yet, at other times, the absence of foreplay is an unforgivable sexual error. The difference, of course, is the level of sexual chemistry between the two partners.

However, our experiences of sex can also be heavily influenced by mood. If, for example, a person is feeling vulnerable, the simplest, skin-to-skin interaction can feel profoundly intimate. At other times, foreplay might involve full-body exploration and drawn-out kisses all over the body.
