MMC has deep aversion to touch, intimacy and sex; FMC slowly and steadily re-introduces him to these pleasures.

FMC should not rush him, or emotionally coerce him. It should organically progress. Hard no: Bratty, mouthy FMC who are passed as sassy, girlboss one.

MMC shouldn't give in immediately. I want some push and pull, angst and hurt.

Sex scenes should be detailed, because that is the central plot. It shouldn't be FTB or even just open door.

Closest I came was in {The Highwayman by Kerrigan Bryne}, it was lovely, but when thought in this context it just doesn't give that satisfaction.

Edit: It can be of any genre.

Hope to get some good recs 🥹
