From listening to your comments, have you considered a role reversal? Have you taken control? Have you ever owned him? Perhaps an evening of you being to dominant of the relationship?
Plan it out, from 5pm through 3am when you leave him panting and so tired he can't move. Plan the time so it allows for both of you to indulge in aspects of your life and devotion, but more importantly, plan out what you want him to be doing and tell him; have him perform 45 minutes of slow back massage on you, then small kisses down your body tell he lingers upon cunnilingus tell you climas. Let him know you are in the relationship for real and fully and if he stops at any time you are going to pick up the ropes and get your desserts reward.
Partners are about surviving and driving on. Sometimes in our core we want to know the other is part of our life, our carrying on and moving forward. Within the realms of sexual depths it is the same, we want to know that our partners are part of our lives, our continuing on.
So plan out the night if you are generally the submissive. Let him know that though you are submissive in nature, you still know progressive/exploration is a positive path of the relationship.
