In a society where men are told not to open up, not to feel sad and to man up because not doing those are an "ick" or not manly the emotional affection they show is replaced by something more physical. He might not know how to be emotionally intimate since that sort of thing has been discouraged all his life. Id talk to him about this and maybe start initiating more casual intimacy. Like hugging into him as he watches tv or plays games, compliment him more, men dint get enough compliments. You'll gradually condition gim into more varied and emotional intimacy and be happier for it.
