I have this "problem" and consider myself incredibly lucky to be with a man who both loves me as a person and is obsessed with my body. I'm in my early 50s and never expected to find something like this. OP, enjoy it!

+1 Sometimes sex is just sex. Enjoy feeling wanted, and the consequent 'throw down.' Many middle aged women would kill for this!

OP, I say this kindly and with good intent ... it sounds like you have some hang-ups about sex. You feeling like a piece of meat is YOUR feeling, based on some complex feelings that you have about the act. You are projecting your feelings onto what you assume he is thinking. Even your use of term "piece of meat" shows that you have some negative association with being desired. I think you need to explore why his desire makes you feel cheap. It might not be him, it might be something in you.

Agree with this.

I've been married for 15 years and have a really nice husband, and he also goes into a different state of mind during sex. I would never frame it as being a "piece of meat." It's a good thing.

For men, the physical act of sex is very tied up with love.

Sounds like you have watched too many romantic movies or read too much chick lit.

That was never in dispute from the jump. That's exactly what OP's concerned about

Maybe op wants the encounter to feel more personalized, not just like a generic act that would be the same no matter who was there.

Maybe more eye contact and sensuality, not just sexuality.

I'm a bit confused at what you are looking for?

Do you need more or less dialogue?
A specific type of dialogue like more I love you versus you're so hot?

Do you not feel like you're in it together and it's more about him proving how much of a man he is?

What is it you are desiring?

Have you tried talking to him about it ? How did he respond?
