Is he a part of the forum? If not, would he be interested in joining? It could be a good way for him to find out some new ideas.

As to ways to be patient, that is not an easy thing to answer. Maybe find him a sexy story or write one for him, and see what affect that has. Lay out some toys you want him to use, or ask him what toys he wants you to have ready.
