He may never be able to give you all you want in the BDSM realm but his trying is at least a step in the right direction. Even if he is only doing it so he doesn't lose you, isn't that an outward sign of how much he wants and loves you?

In time, if you take baby steps, he my be able to make you happy but I can tell you for sure it won't happen over night. You may have to show him how much you appreciate his efforts to date and just keep encouraging him to experiment a little further each time.

Still, as others have said, because of his upbringing he may never be able to give you all you want or need. If you decide that is the case then you are the one that has to make a choice. He has made his by trying, in my opinion.
