being physical indeed can make people quite attached to one another, so to the extent to which you are trying to prevent a bond from being formed, you are right to refrain from being physical.
That said, sex is a great language of communication (I do not mean words enunciated during sex - I mean the whole non-verbal stuff that is involved in sex), and to the extent that he has been hinting at missing your body, he might simply be saying that he is not particularly good at meeting your needs via verbal communication but might meet them via being physical. You cannot cope being with someone who just won't tell you what they feel, you wrote, but you are forgetting that verbal communication (talking, texting, etc.) is only one type of communication. Maybe he'd be able to tell you how he feels via being physical. Being physical is a very direct way of communicating - I can tell you that I am trying to relate how I think and feel to a man who is in another state and thus only words would do - due to lack of physical contact - and it is very difficult, time-consuming, etc. to say things in words. Physical love would be much easier - in my case it is impossible, so I try to use words, but I am well aware of the limitations of all things verbal.
I am not saying that the man whom you have described on this thread has the same depth of feeling for you as I have for the man in another state to whom I am trying to say things via words - obviously, it is not the case, as you guys have known each other for 2 months whereas we (the man in another state and I) have known each other for 2 decades, so it is apples and oranges - I am simply trying to say that words are not the only way to relate feelings. Not at all. Sex, music, paintings, etc. are all ways to relate feelings that cannot be related via the use of words.
