Some people identify as asexual, but I don't think that's what's going on here, because your husband does engage in and enjoy sex, but apparently doesn't become aroused without physical contact.

Not all men are horny all the time. If he has low self-esteem, that could contribute to his lack of a sex drive. Maybe he's bored and needs something new in the bedroom. Hopefully, the therapist can help you and him figure it out.
Masturbation is good as it can enhance a relationship, but if it replaces sex, it becomes a deterrent as it's easier to masturbate than have sex so that both people are satisfied. Men and women have different needs and have to work at the relationship.
