People with sex drives way higher than their partners…How do you handle it?

The polyamory hasn't been an issue; we are still open though neither of us see anyone right now. It just didn't solve the problem for us. I want that intimacy and connection from my wife. We are working on it, and if she told me that she didn't want to have sex anymore then I would still try and make that work, but it would be a very hard hurdle and challenge for the relationship because it's important for me. Without physical intimacy, I become insecure. There are things I need to work on about myself that explain why that is, but these aren't problems that will be fixed easily or quickly, if ever at all. I'm willing to do whatever work necessary to make our marriage work, but I will always want that kind of affection, specifically from my wife, and living with the situation you described would still require a lot of effort to make work (for us).
