Let me add this though - if there are many thing you want to try and he is shut down to them, that's not a good start. You will end up sexually unsatisfied, he'll end up annoyed at hearing you complain about what he doesn't do, etc. If you're getting married soon, it's really best to have a serious sit down about these things.

I think this is a good point. For my man and I, when we're both satisfied and our sex life is going well - it's just a small, wonderful part of our relationship. But when one of us is feeling sexually frustrated, or what have you - it can feel like a REALLY BIG problem.
I also agree, if you're already feeling sexually frustrated this early in your relationship, before you're even married... that's not really a good sign. Being too tired for sex for a little while (due to extra work projects, or illness, or whatever) is normal and can be dealt with - because you will eventually get back to your normal sexual frequency.
But the fact that you want to explore areas that he doesn't want to explore seems like a bigger issue to me. Also the fact that he doesn't seem willing to entertain simple sexual requests you make of him - is not a good sign. When you marry someone - NOTHING CHANGES. I know, movies, books and TV shows make it sound like you get married and then all your problems disappear - but it isn't like that. NO ONE CHANGES when they get married.
P'Gell's right, you cannot change people. If these sexual issues are a big deal to you, which they obviously are because you're feeling jealous of other people's relationships, you need to seriously consider what that frustration is telling you.
Do you really want to feel jealous of other people's relationships for the rest of your life? That doesn't sound like very much fun to me.
