Affection is subjective. Especially in how you show it. Sure, sex can be a sign of affection, but other times, it can be just sex. It is the same with all physical intimacy. It can be emotionally linked as often as it is detached, especially in a long term relationship. What works best with us is refocusing on the emotional attachments in a nonsexual way. A physical connection only goes so far, and is only satisfying to a certain degree. Have you considered that she might be apprehensive about the importance you put on sex (even though you say it doesn't matter much deep down)? If she feels that sex is all you want, of course she'll pull away. So maybe you should try to reconnect with her in a totally emotional, nonsexual way. Good Luck!
