I need more affection from her. How do I tell her without upsetting her?

Question - (3 April 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 April 2011)
A male United States age 36-40, *ormen Bates writes:

I've been with my girlfriend for seven years and sometimes we go through these stages where the affection, mainly the sex runs dry.

For example,we went from having sex on a regular basis to literary nothing. It leaves me in an awkward position because I know if I called her over and initiated sex she wouldn't reject it at the same time I don't want to always be the initiator because when it becomes a one way street I feel unwanted.

I'm so confused, I love this girl with everything I have, but I can't keep going through these stages of little to no affection because I'm afraid that when another women shows me some type of affection It might alter our relationship.

I don't know how to bring this up to her and whats even harder is I don't know how to say it without her taking offense to it, she's really fragile, and she gets offended at the slighted thing.

How do I express my feelings without hurting her and making things awkward between us. Just as we hardly ever have sex we almost never talk about.

Danielepew agony auntThe Golden Rule: Speak your mind. Tell her what you have told us, minus the "I'm afraid that when another women shows me some type of affection It might alter our relationship.".

Would you please expand on how she gets offended at the slightest thing? What is "the slightest thing"?
