It would seem that over time emotional release, as well as physical have become entwined for you. While for him they remain separated. However, there is also the possibility that there is a physical component with him that you may be missing. Either way I agree that you are not off your mark wanting or even needing the release from sex more often.

I for one have the tendency to shut off anything I find inconvenient. The need for sex happens to be one of those things.
