On Love chat q.: is it bad for her to commit (physically) to her "best friend"?

is committing to a best friend bad?

Met my honey nearly 3 years ago. We are both middle-aged, no kids. Me - serial monogamist, had some great relationships, unfortunately buried two boyfriends. Him - not much dating experience. He was less sexual and comfortable with his sexuality and I was patient and okay with it. Then we became intimate and he has some mechanical problems. Everything is okay medically, so I figure it's just a comfort/confidence thing. No biggie. We're very affectionate, but haven't really had sex. I moved in last Sept - he's my best friend and we love being together. It's like being 5 and having a pajama party. But now that almost seems like a problem. I've never really seen him sexually and we're learning that we have very different natures. He's completely gentle, sweet and overwhelmed with his own body sensations. I'm looking for the Marlboro man minus the cigarette. We've each bought some card games that get couples to reveal what they like/dislike and to cause conversation and experimentation. It's good, we're both open. I just wonder if we really can find a way to satisfy one another. When he gets in his groove, I feel completely detached and objectified. I also understand how weird it must seem that I'm asking him to detach from his own sensations. Help!
