letting him know I want sex?

Nae
ok ladys so I have never been good at this. I am trying to figure out ways to turn on my DH to let him know I want sex. how can I do this without having to go down on him every time? I have tried the sex clothes and stuff but it doesn't work. I don't like leaving it to him to always start it, but I'm scared of rejection. not saying he would. any tips?
