Honestly yeah, as weird as it is to say, the intimacy may have to take a back seat to actually solving the issue. The best way to do this is to just become friends again, play games together, watch some stupid movies and riff on them, just stuff you used to do with each other before you married, hell maybe even before you both started dating.

Hmm...
The Becca thing sucks but I doubt it's often front and center in Henry's mind.
Given the time that's passed, he's probably over mourning the fact that you aren't gonna be soft and subby.
Meanwhile the amount of consistency he's been putting into using male pronouns for you is... Well given the circumstances pretty impressive.
It's clear he still very much loves, respects, and is attracted to you.
This means that whatever is still upsetting him about this is largely in his head. He's having trouble adapting. Hell this could very well be a crisis of identity for him.
Thus, whatever you do for him should make the path easier for him.

I can think of two ways to help this.
First, in whatever you do, be extra thoughtful and romantic. Like pretend y'all are still dating and you're trying to impress him- which now that I think of it, is probably a place you two never were, isn't it? You two had more of a whirlwind romance. This should be fun.

Second thing you could do is casually be more risque, flirtatious, even seductive around him- but still don't initiate things yourself, just come close, tow that line. Every time Henry initiates sex with you is a choice he makes the reinforces his place in this new situation, this reality. The act makes it real but it's the decision that matters. The more he decides to fuck you the more he heals. Thus, if you can persuade him to have sex with you more often while letting him think it's still his idea, he should get better a fair bit faster.

>>1105362
basically browbeat him with the nostalgia but there is perhaps some worry over becoming less attractive to him as he just does not like muscles at all or anything thats slightly more masculine in body
>>1105367
he seemed very devastated over it he did not just lose a sex partner he lost a friend he has had for years upon years long before you Jess you may need to grab Becca out of her Funk and use her do you happen to know what exactly was said and happened between them?
does it even need to be just in his head if he is being constantly reminded, and the sex the first time was when you did something insensitive

>basically browbeat him with the nostalgia

No. Actually trying to rekindle the spark, find what was lost and heal. It doesn't just have to be stuff they did before they started dating too, but it can be actual dates, new ideas as well. Going on dates to new places and doing new things that don't just involve getting kinky. Actually falling in love with each other all over again.

>>1105431
That and Browbeating someone with Nostalgia is just going to make him want what was before.

>A hot, comforting meal to start the conversation
Jess’ll make some extra thick chicken noodle soup once she’s done with the rest of her workout.

>Henry’s still the same wonderful wolf, rekindle the spark
>Help him with his mental block
That’s a great idea! Henry is still respectful, kind, and clearly attracted to her since he still wants to have sordid kinky sex on the regular. Her body hasn’t changed that much, even if she does work out more, so his issue must be more with his mind and self-identity as a boring American hetero husband.

>Is there anything Jess can do about Becca?
Apart from getting even more chummy with Victor and Mahan to learn all of the dog’s secrets, not really.

>Encourage him to have more sex via risque flirting
It has been a while since she’s been actively seductive. About time for her to use her charms again, when appropriate.

Jess finds an old container of chicken stock in the freezer from an experiment reusing a rotisserie carcass and sets it on the counter to thaw while she starts chopping vegetables. Soup is pretty easy, all things considered, and she spends extra time sweating the onions and adding spices until it’s time to put everything together to simmer.

She sits on the sofa and absently reads from a random book she picked up during a library sale until Henry slinks into the townhouse with the air of a beaten dog.

“Hi honey!” she says brightly. “Come have dinner before the noodles get too mushy.”

Once she’s trapped him at the counter where they take their meals, Jess goes on the offensive.

“Let’s go on a date this weekend, Henry. We could watch a movie, go out to eat, get a beer with Mahan, something casual and fun.”

“Oh.” Henry keeps direct eye contact with his bowl of soup. “Okay?”

“Do you have a preference? Is there anything you’ve been itchin’ to try?”

“Not really. You can pick.”

Plan Jess and Henry’s weekend date! Should Jess invite any of their friends?

He seems uncomfy. Let him milk your pecs!

The beach episode (if there is one) alternatively, the pool

>>1105467
The Beach is a good idea! Maybe a nice picnic lunch on the beach. Go get some summer sun with your husband!

A Movie date sounds like a good idea, pick something both of you will like. I think it's for the best if you don't invite any friends this time.

>>1105467
+1 For the beach idea, Henry needs the relaxation and sightseeing.
Speaking of sights, any nude beaches in town?

A nice nature hike where the two of you will be alone together for hours with no distractions. No way to avoid a confrontation then.

Something outdoorsy like a beach or hiking trip followed by something chill, like a moovy.

Kai is only a modest road trip away, along with both the Appalachian Mountains and the beach. Unfortunately, the cost of living is pretty steep…

>Henry seems unhappy
Well, yes, that’s what lingering existential depression and a 12 hour shift on one’s feet will do to a wolf.

>Beach, don’t invite friends
Outdoors, relaxing, and a good excuse to wear something sexy. Jess plans to bring tuna sandwiches, homemade lemonade, and pasta salad in a little basket.

>Nude beach?
Jess does a little research on the state subreddit. It seems like nude beaches are less and less common in the age of cellphones and the commodification of public spaces. Too much trouble to drive to and investigate the few that remain.

Challenge is to try not to get wet. So sadly no swimming, but you can do other beach activities

I'll suspend my disbelief for the body paint (I'm curious to see how that would work on fox fur). But here's a thought, what if it was a bikini with the crotch and nips cut out and paint those over.

>>1105534
Now thats a fun idea

>>1105534
Thirding

Big sun hat, bikini top and bottoms (with extra standard swim trunks and loose oversized shirt you can take off for a strip tease bonus) and a hip wrap. Sarong? Whatever, it's coming off anyways.

Bind your chest with anime bandages. The rest is half-inch thick shorts.

>Sarong and one of Henry’s Hawaiian shirts on top
Sufficiently daring to get Jess’s blood pumping, with layers that can be used to maintain modesty for the children’s sake or for a strip tease for Henry’s.

Her husband dons a standard pair of swim shorts and his own floral shirt. With the food packed, they hop in the car and start the hour or so drive to the nearest beach. Jess tries to make smalltalk when she sees something interesting on the highway ads or in the occasional horse pastures, and to her relief Henry responds. Now that it’s the weekend he should have a bit more energy!

The full heat of a Massachusetts summer only musters mid-seventies near the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Between her fur and the outfit, Jess thinks it’s perfect. A lot of other people seem to think so too, the beach is dotted with people having their own summer fun.

What does Jess do first?
A. Talk seriously
B. Eat suggestively
C. Strip seductively and go play in the water

B, start cooking this dog

B, if we wanna talk serious, we do it somewhere private, this is a time to relax and have fun, eat!

B, don't start with the water, work up to that.

C. Time to show off all that hard work you put into your body and to test if that body paint is waterproof.

B) Pretend to have a serious talk but the subject is about how you're going to have his baby by screwing him until his penis is on backwards

Her tuna sandwich is dripping with mayo, relish, and lemon juice. Jess can squeeze a few fishy drops onto her chest to imply far lewder pale liquids, hell it’ll probably happen by accident since she’s not eating at a table. Henry always liked when she put on a show for him while she ate.

“That drive made me hungry, let’s have lunch first.” she says brightly.

They pick a dry spot on the edge of where the waves have soaked the sand a dark brown and open the basket. Jess carefully unwraps their sandwiches and settles into the sun warmed spot, shirt unbuttoned and showing off her painted nipples. At this range Henry can definitely see them.

Sure enough, the white bread is soaked through with savory sandwich juices and she feels some gush out with her first bite. All according to plan.

She makes lots of hums and moans of pleasure, because it also tastes pretty damn good thanks to a splash of hot sauce and fresh red onion. Henry’s ears twitch and he quickly lowers his own sandwich.

“You don’t have to do that for my benefit, I know you don’t like it.” he mutters, barely audible above the waves.

“Wuh?”

“I know you’re not into feeder stuff, you don’t have to pretend to get a rise out of me. I don’t want you to do something you’re not comfortable with!” Henry snaps.

Bro is missing the point, it's not the food it's the show. Ask him to clean you up, or maybe make a bigger mess on your tits.

>>1105688
First off, introspection time! Aren't you? You (had) a (somewhat) solid stance on identity.
Definitely want muscles and large shoulders, but never addressed fat weight; compromise (Musclegut) maybe? Or is it a complete and indeniable nono?

Thoughts aside, tell him you actually do enjoy that sandwich, and were hungry. But you were trying to make things more enjoyable for him but are sorry if that struck a nerve.
Does he want to talk about it, what's going on in there that's working him up so much?

*Deadpan*
Babe, I was eating so much I was starting to hate food. I'm totally fine with food play.

Now then, are you gonna keep overthinking things, or would you rather be seduced by your sexy fox sluttily slamming a sandwich?

>>1105688
Alright. Finish your meal and get some sun. Can we switch to Henry? We need to get in his head here.

Its true, He's going to have a hard time telling when you are being genuine now. All you can do is reassure him you're doing this because you want to. But he doesn't really have reason to trust your word, does he?

Tell him that you're not trying to pretend anything. You're just trying to cheer him up, and she knows this is something that makes him happy. You may not share the kink, but you're hungry, and you enjoy the sandwich you've prepared for yourself.

You understand why he's finding it hard to trust you, but you're going to get through that together if you want to make this work.

Jess chews and swallows. “I mean, I was trying to get you excited because I like getting my husband hot and bothered, but I’m also eating a really good sandwich, dude. It’s not on the same level as the stuff we were doing before that made me upset.”

Henry glares at her. There’ve been an increasing number of these looks in the past few months and Jess isn’t sure she likes it anymore. “I don’t know if I trust you.”

“Okay. Do you wanna talk about it?” she offers.

“Yeah, actually. Would you or would you not be on T if you didn’t have to worry about keeping me happy?”

She doesn’t have to think long to answer this one. “On T, yeah. Muscles are cool.”

Henry points accusatorily like he’s caught her in some groundbreaking lie. “So therefore by staying with me you’re doing something you’re not comfortable with for my benefit! Your feminine body causes you some degree of dysphoria.”

“Don’t overthink it Henry, it’s the same thing where I have the free will to make sacrifices for a greater reward. Eat sandwich messy to tease husband, don’t take T to stay with very nice and awesome husband.” Jess explains.

She sneaks another bite of the sandwich because she did a great job on it, honestly.

“Yuh can geh sedu’ed or yuh can tell muh ta stop ‘f yuh don like it.” she offers.

>Henry choice check (2/3 in favor of seduced because of previous HATE SEX choice): Failure
Henry hesitates, eyes darting to her messy chest. He frowns and shakes his head.

“I don’t like it.”

“Then I won’t do it.”

“Great.”

“Cool.”

Well that was an abysmal failure. Jess grabs a paper napkin to dab at her fur and proceeds to eat her sandwich normally. She’s not sure what to do next.

Time to hit the Earth's natural bath. Go for a dip in the ocean. Will your fur paint last in the water?

Maybe try to keep the conversation going before trying any more horny shenanigans.

Tell him that you aren't resentful of the fact that you aren't on testosterone for his sake. If it was a sticking point you really couldn't get past, then you would end things there and do it. It's a trade-off, like getting up a bit earlier to make a nice breakfast before work or paying more to have food delivered so that you don't have to drive and get it.

You understand why he doesn't trust you though, because for a long time you thought the same about your gender identity. You thought you'd be okay with presenting as a woman, and you were for a while, but over time it ended up eating at you more than you expected. And no, you can't promise that will never happen with testosterone. Maybe a year from now, you'll want it more than you could have ever expected.

You want to share a life with Henry though, and that's a deal-breaker for him. He's made a pretty strong commitment himself already, considering the missing digit. If you can promise anything, it's that you won't spring it on him, the way you did with your transition. If it starts to eat at you, you'll talk to him about it, and you'll try to find alternatives that'll soothe the desire.

You know, I wasn't like... Quietly Suffering back then, right? Like I wasn't pretending to be happy with you, I actually was- and am. If things aren't ideal then I just find a way to make them fun. It's just... It became so much at once that it became frustrating. Stressful. Un-fun. That's why I came clean when I did. I didn't want to pretend. I knew that would end up sucking for both of us. That said I don't mind compromising on some things... Even if I'm left with a couple holes in my soul, I'm confident in your ability to fill them.

Leave him with his thoughts, Tell him you’re going to sunbathe, if he wants to talk, you’ll listen, if he wants to silently rest and enjoy the sun with you, you’ll be happy with that too.
Maybe he can get a good look at your swimsuit this way and notice something off, heehee

>>1105812
This, is guess. Might as well get some sun.

Can I be real here with everyone for a second? This relationship is bound to end badly if this keeps up. I know Jess loves Henry, but is it really best for them if they are in this relationship trying to make it work if they are both miserable? Jess may be trying to be acting business as usual, but it’s clear Henry ain’t there. And after everything that’s been happening, he ain’t going to be okay for a while now. He misses the person he thought Jess was and is now bitter because he feels this “new” Jess stole them away from him. This will only make Jess feel bad and bound to hurt them even more in the future. So I know we are trying to rekindle something but dudes, at some point this ship may not be salvageable. Sorry for the rant, I am trying to think of what is best for both of them to be happy in the end.

>Talk a little more
“Henry, I wasn’t pretending to be happy before–I really was happy to be with you and I still am. I don’t know how many times or how many ways I can tell you that to get you to believe me.” Jess pleads.

“The problem isn’t that I don’t believe you, Jess, the problem is I’m still keeping you from being how you want to be! I’m the barrier and I’m always going to be the barrier because of–because you’re a decent person and want me to be comfortable with your body.”

Henry’s gesticulations get a little wilder and Jess glances around to make sure no one’s paying too close attention to their argument. She doesn’t want some well-meaning lady to come by asking if she needs to get away from her big bad husband.

“It means I’m bad and that bothers me because I don’t like being bad.” Henry explains. “I try really hard to be good, actually, because something in who I am wants to be good. Does that even make sense?”

“Yes it does, but when you’re frustrated with yourself it makes it more stressful when you’re frustrated with me too.”

“Well yeah, I’m also mad that you basically tricked me into getting married.”

“I did lie to you.”

“And that’s more bad energy on top of this whole mess! Agh, I should just shut up.” Henry shuffles his legs so he’s facing slightly away from her and takes a big bite of the food.

>Sunbathe
There’s a cool ocean breeze coming off the waves and Jess quickly finishes eating, takes off her shirt and sarong, and stretches out with her stomach on the dry sand to soak in the warmth of the sun. She closes her eyes and listens to Henry working on his sandwich. For the first time, she seriously wonders if it would be better if they got a divorce.

Kids are probably never going to happen at this point and Jess won’t be able to put up with Henry being grumpy and bitter forever, even if the sex is great. Divorce would be agony for both of them in the short run, but they’re young and could find new partners. It’s a natural continuation of the consequences of revealing her secret.

Or she could suck it up and keep trying with the fun date ideas since this is only the first attempt. It’s good that Henry is communicating with her, even if it doesn’t seem like they’re making progress.

A. Don’t give up!
B. This isn’t going to work

A. I don't think this relationship is unsalvageable yet. If Henry ever decides that it is, then sure, he's allowed to make that choice, but you still see potential in staying together.

Maybe ask if he'd want to go to couple's therapy, or if he'd rather keep working out his feelings as he's been doing. I think his natural impulse would be the latter, but I think you should make it clear that you'd prefer the former. Not because you think there's a problem with him feeling bad in response to everything, but because sooner or later he's going to need to finish processing his feelings so that he can feel good again, and so that y'all can figure out where this relationship is going. If he's up for it, it'd be a good sign that he's still open to trying to make this work.

Also, tell him you love him. He probably knows, but it never hurts to repeat the sentiment.

If his actions send you to the hospital, that's the point where you need to cut off.
Until then, though, you're still in a position of power and influence to salvage this relationship. What matters is that he continues to treat you like a person he wants to love, and you can rebuild your relationship from there. If he loses it and treats you like a slab of meat, there's no saving that.
