Why do men lack the romance gene?

Hubby thinks "he gets" romance but how there IS so much more than starting with him orally pleasing me then wanting the same in return & then the end 5 minutes after insertion. I need AND want more. Will a man that knows what romance is PLEASE respond with his definition so I can help hubby realize it's sooooooo much more? I don't think he realizes I have breasts that would be so satisfied by his attention and how stimulation could cause such excitement. Just been married 4 years' and I see trouble brewing if he does not realize what I have been saying is real. All I want & need is him...

Update:

But this IS about romance. Hubby thinks what I have mentioned above IS romance and of course sexual desire is also a part of this situation. I want and need more from him. Now he has accepted and admitted that he has been sheltered sexually and I AM willing to teach but when I make a suggestion, he accuses me of "not being happy with him" when I AM! Except sexually & romantically.

Update 2:

Hubby is 51, I am 40.

Update 3:

I'm A Beast:

Are you suggesting I show him? That would make he verrry jealous I am sure!

Update 4:

I DO flirt with hubby A LOT each & every day and my question is NOT ignorant at all, just maybe worded wrong! Hubby thinks he being romantic by doing what I describe above and I disagree. There is waaaay too much routine on his part no matter how hard I try. Does nobody get what I am saying?

    Um, well I am a man and I don't think I lack the romance gene, my wife is always telling me that I am romantic, and I can hardly get her to keep her clothes on..

    Lets see, if I had to explain to another dude what romance I would say it is basically giving your wife your very best of everything you have.

    I'll break it down:

    1. My thoughts: I think about my wife all the time. I ask myself, "What could I do today that would put a smile on my wife's face?" or "What can I do today that will make my wife's life easier?"

    This can be anything I can think of: clean up the house, bring her flowers, grab groceries for her on my way home from work, singing to her a song I heard on the radio that made me think of her.

    Bottom line: thoughtfulness

    2. Her pleasure is my no. 1 priority: The best way to explain this is that it loops back with being thoughtful. I ask myself, "Is there anything MORE I can do to give my wife pleasure in the sack?" I try to make sure I love, cherish, and pleasure ALL of her, physically, mentally, spiritually, intellecually, and sexually.

    Hope that helps.

    Your question is too generalized and very ignorant. Not ALL men are like that. I am a very romantic man, and there are just as many romantic men as there are women. Ive been with women that wouldn't know what romance was if it smacked them in the face. It all boils down to the man you have, maybe he isn't a romantic person or what he views as romantic, you don't.

    Why is it that persons consistently discover *something* to ***** approximately? If he's all you're saying he's - why not forgive him a small transgression of not being "romance-orientated". i think of, the certainty that he's unswerving, committed, compassionate, supportive and whatnot would desire to make you sense enjoyed and favored. such countless women people would desire to not describe their husband in such phrases, and you will - count type your reward! in case you crave superficial gestures and are unappreciative of the deeper expressions of affection your husband provide you with ever day - perhaps you do not should be married to him. vegetation and enjoying cards isn't the only thank you to precise romance. in certainty, people who discover it easierst to comprehend the superficial language normally lack the deeper information of committment. Please, for yours and your husband's sake - attempt to savor him for what he's; he sounds like a uncommon discover.

    Don't tell a guy how to do IT. That will only make things worse. He is a guy and thinks that he was born with an inane knowledge and skill to please any woman. You need to find ways how to covertly to show him what to do without him knowing that you're trying to teach him.

    Nobody can tell you how to do it, since it's unique for you and your hubby, but you could for example put his hand on your breast while you're cuddling on a couch or watch an X-rated movie with the "moves" that you like and point out that "that" looks like fun or something like that.

    Romance is appreciation of your partner and being more of a friend than a lover at times going out for walks and dinners alone with your partner its a very wast subject but you should talk to him and tell him what you want him to do for you

    romance has different definitions when it comes to genders - women have their view and men have theirs - women seem to think we can read minds or subtle hints but we can't - u hafta tell us what u like - some men - like myself - are good observers and pick up hints and learn people enuff to know what they want - but thats a small percentage

    let him know that romance is the same as courtship or wooing not sex

    Source(s): I said tell not show lol - but if u have a way to show him that wont inspire jealousy do so - I am saying we all aren't gifted in the romance dept - I am - I was raised by 2 women and they showed me how to be a hubby and as a teen porn showed me how to be a lover -I combined the 2 - my soon to b ex wife has hang ups when it comes to sex - even with that I managed to give her the big O every time we did it cuz I took the time to learn her body and her erogenous zones through massages and random touching

    You're not asking for romance, but a more satisfying foreplay.

    Don't suggest anything to him. Flirt with him dirty, BIG time!

    I think your problem is not romance but sex. Talk to a marriage councellor.
