Imara Diversifies The Beastmen World

Chapter Eighty Seven: Synchronizing

As my companions helped me out of the tub, a thought crossed my mind, prompting a playful accusation.

"I think you all are lying to me about the mating process," I mused, my voice tinged with skepticism.

"I mean, sure, I've shown you how to engage in more intimate aspects, like kissing and fourplay for us. But everything else just seems to flow so naturally afterward.

You can't possibly be inexperienced as you claim, especially when I'm here, struggling to even get out of the tub on my own,"

I observed, pointing at myself for emphasis, causing both Gabriel and Harvey to redden with embarrassment.

Harvey, ever the voice of reason, quickly responded to assuage my doubts. "No, we're not lying," he assured me, his cheeks still tinged with a flush.

"It's just that males are inherently aware of our strength. We know we're naturally stronger and could inadvertently harm a female with seemingly simple actions, like picking them up.

So, we're taught from a young age to exercise restraint, to always be gentle, especially in matters of mating."

His explanation shed light on their behavior, revealing the depth of consideration and care woven into their actions. It was a testament to their respect and the responsibility they felt towards ensuring comfort and safety, highlighting the delicate balance they maintained between their innate strength and the tenderness required in such intimate moments.

Listening to their explanations, I pressed further, curiosity piqued. "So, y'all really trying to tell me that mated males never had the urge to explore all the things we've been doing? Outside of missionary and doggy style and normal kissing?"

Gabriel, with a hint of earnestness, and being crimson responded, "Of course, we've had those desires. But the last thing we want is to cause you harm. It's challenging to keep our strength in check; we might lose control.

That's why other males are required to be present or nearby during such intimate moments. Inflicting any pain upon a female is considered a crime." His voice carried the weight of their cultural norms and the gravity of their consequences.

He continued, explaining the delicate balance between desire and duty. "The only exception is if she wants you and you do not reciprocate; then it's permissible to not consider her feelings if you're not interested in the relationship."

He paused for a moment before delving into a topic marked by both anticipation and apprehension.

"And then there's the matter of consummation, for the first time, which we both dread and eagerly await. On one hand, it signifies the act of mating; on the other, it's impossible to avoid causing you discomfort, marking your first 'bleed, or a male first time.'"

Gabriel's admission revealed the strict societal rules governing their behavior towards females.

"If a male causes bruising or makes the female disdain mating due to roughness, the penalties are severe—ranging from being killed to disowned.

So, we keep our deeper desires to ourselves, grateful for the privilege of companionship."

Their words painted a complex picture of the intricate dance between innate desires and the stringent moral and societal expectations placed upon them. It underscored the deep respect and care they harbored, not just for me, but for the well-being of all females, a testament to the values ingrained within their culture.

Absorbing their explanations, a newfound understanding dawned on me, casting their actions and the cultural backdrop they navigated in a new light.

"I understand more now,"
