How does your other half make you feel sexually attractive

Just wondering really as my relationship feels quite housemate/sibling like at the moment.
I see so many people in couples say stuff like their other half is always trying to touch them initiate sex etc but I get everyone is different. How does your other half show you beyond doubt they still fancy you?

If I’m walking around half dressed he’ll go oooh and grab me or touch me 😂 and during sex he is so complimentary. Do you still have sex?

We message each other flirty things all day everyday.

We treat each other like it is still the first year of dating rather than being married for 26 years. How we showed desire for each other back then is still how we do it now we just have to be very mindful of having adult children living at home.

Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down in the day to day and forget what this person is supposed to mean to you. How did you show your partner you wanted and desired him when you first started dating? Do that, he will want to feel desired too. Enthusiasm is probably the most underrated aspect of a relationship, enthusiasm to listen when they talk, to be facing each other, your whole attention on them.

He’s thoughtful, he’ll surprise me with little gifts that he’s seen while out.. Little things like books, Daffodils, I know he thinks about me when I’m not there.
We message flirty stuff, he’s always telling me how much he loves me.
Yesterday when I was getting out of the shower he told me I had a better arse than Kylie Minouge (I haven’t)

Rarely

i mean I know people change peoples tastes change over the years and I’ve asked him to tell me if he’s no longer attracted to me - I won’t be offended. I would however like the chance to be with someone who is

Touches me, cuddle me, holds my hand when sat together, kisses me, tells me he loves me all the time

How long have you been together op? Things do naturally dwindle after many years together.
