How to Reignite the spark after two years

Long story short...Two years no sex, no intimacy. A short kiss on the way out the door to work.
First year: He had a horrible job, stressed out, mentally not in a good place. I helped him work through all that; he got new job, agreed to work on our relationship.
Second year to now: Working on relationship-going well, he's happy with job. I had heart attack and now have heart failure. Doing well, but have to be careful.
He said to me two weeks ago, "I need IT soon". He says he has waited long enough, that when I feel I can have sex, he wants it. Before now he figured it would have killed me.
My issue is... he wants "IT". For two years I have been turned OFF. Feel undesirable. Also afraid I was going to die. All of a sudden, he wants IT. Not me...IT.
Am I being over sensitive and way too emotional? Is this just how men think? Do I just go through the motions to satisfy him and figure my issue out later? It's really difficult to "get in the mood" when I feel like an object instead of a desired woman.
Please let me know if anyone has gone through this and how to reignite a long put off spark.

Talk with him and point out that IT is for other men and what he needs and wants is 'ME' . Tell him to arrange to meet you at your dating spot when you were single and to take you out on a date. That will set the tone and you can then initiate and control what's next. Good luck

Thank you. I wasn't sure if I should say something or just ignore the comment. I appreciate your suggestions.

Please keep us/me updated on how it works out.

Hey Murff...did the date night, not the same place, that was too many years ago. A little conversation/discussion. He's not the best communicator. All in all it worked out. Just wish I didn't have to "initiate" everything. All though, I give him HUGE credit for bringing up the subject in the first place...even if the verbage caught me off guard.

doctortits...NOT happening. I have outstanding skills, so I was just told, but I will resemble a horror movie character if I sense any load not deposited where I can't see it.

That's good to hear Minty but that's just the first step.
You need to get the vibes flowing now so take a little extra time in your choice of clothing around him, be careful not to offer any criticism but a gentle touch of your hands now and then to emphasise a point will keep you on his mind subconsciously. Let it look like he is initiating things but you subtly take control, especially outside of the home where overt touching and cow-eyes at him when appropriate will all come together when you are home again.
Good luck

Interesting thread to follow. I hope your situation keeps improving. Where I can relate is I had a period of depression a while ago and it was due to a bag job. That all went away when I got a new job. But now my wife tells me she needs IT, and not me. She makes me feel like a stress ball or something like that. She comes to me when she's had a bad day, or is too frustrated by the kids and says she needs a good _______ to get off and feel better. Thank you everyone for sharing your input.

The BEST way to ignite the fire is to never lose it.
I've heard lots of stories of women losing the desire for sex. But for that, there is now a medical treatment for that. My younger sister tried it & claimed it saved her marriage, so with her it worked! To never lose the fire, I have a simple 3 step plan that has worked for us for 32 years. 1) Be each other's BEST FRIEND. That is so underrated! 2) Marry for love, not lust. Lust wears off, but true love can last forever. 3) Never, BUT NEVER cheat or share your spouce! Once you do, it's only a matter of time before you end up divorced. I've seriously seen it happen a dozen times. Trust me, you can take that to the bank!
