My partner and I have an open relationship, in part because we've both accepted that it is unfair to ask just one person meet all our needs, but also because I just don't quite have the drive that he does. There are times I can't even handle being touched, no hand-holding, hugs, nothing. It helps him to know that he isn't being rejected, but also to know that if I'm not interested in something he wants to do, he can go to someone else and do it, and I won't be even remotely upset. Maybe this kind of thing would work for you? I know it's not for everyone, but it works well for some people.
