This is based on my own experience with hypersexuality and the topics you described
Rex Sloan X Hypersexual!Gn!Reader
I think Rex is also hypersexual, or at least has some tendencies, so he'd understand a lot. I also think he would learn more about himself while trying to help you
He knows how sometimes your mind is buzzing with bad thoughts and stress, and the only thing that seems to calm it is by thinking about sex, especially when you're trying to sleep and just can't
He knows sometimes sex feels like the solution to all problems
And that hipersexuality is a problem because it’s prejudicial to your life, in the sense that maybe you're trying to focus on something else, like studying, working, or a hobby, but your mind just. Won't. Stop.
Sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex sex
But he's still learning to think before talking, and he just came to terms with the fact that he's actually very empathic
So he might ask how you feel and what you're thinking from time to time, and what do you think that made you be hypersexual
He doesn't want you to commit the same mistakes he did, so he makes sure your sexual dynamic with each other is very healthy, obnoxiously healthy, to the point that it's even funny how he’ll just stop in the middle of it to ask “do you want it or do you enthusiastically want it?” with the most serious expression, one it's even weird to see on him, because he's just so goofy
Because if the bar is high enough, you never will accept anything less, just like people with healthy families usually don't accept other people treating them like shit
He's scared shitless that he’ll accidentally or indirectly hurt you, either because he didn't make sure how you felt, or because you were too good at pretending
He's ruined so many good things before, he doesn't want to do it anymore
You might have intrusive thoughts, like really, intrusive thoughts. Not the ones most people are used to like “what if I threw my phone out of the window?”, but the real ones. If you have it you know what I’m talking about.
I’m not sure he has them, because if you have them, you probably hide them, but he surprises you when he takes it seriously, not just thinking you're a freak, or a creep, or a weirdo. He understands right away they're not something you want, you don't condone those actions, you think they're the worst thing the could happen, and yet, your mind is so broken that it throws those thoughts at you, trying to make you hate yourself, and it might even work, and Rex makes sure you know it's not your fault, it's just a mental illness, there's nothing wrong with you, it's common, just talk to him baby, talking will make you feel better
He also becomes clingy, even performing PDA if you're into that. Just because your mind is thinking about all the different sexual scenarios you could do, doesn't mean you want sex, half the time you just want to be held, kissed and feel important. Just receive some attention and love. And he’ll enjoy doing that
Especially in the beginning of your relationship, he understands you might be confused on how to proceed, overthinking, and you might even try to distance yourself from him
Jokes on you, he's not gonna let that happen
I mean, see how his relationship with Rae started on the 3rd season, bro really worked for her
If he didn't like you as much, he would give up, honestly. Rex from the 1st and 2nd season would just offer himself to be your booty call
If you're touch starved, he understands that maybe you feel insecure about that, that the simple act of holding hands and rubbing your thumb on someone’s skin just isn’t second nature to you, isn't your first instinct, when you do it, you're actively thinking about it, afraid to move and disturb the peace, or make him stop touching you
Like one of those videos of abused animals who freak out at the simple mention of someone getting close to them, and when someone does, they need several minutes to get used to it
He won't judge you for maybe being somewhat socially awkward on that aspect, he actually likes that you aren't used to just throwing yourself at anyone who gives you crumbs of attention, and ruining yourself in the process, almost like he did. It's not worth it, it's humiliating, it changes you so much that you can't recognize yourself in the end
It takes some time, but you get used to having him clinging to you at all and random moments of the day
He wants your first time together to be especial, and when you truly want it, so he doesn't even takes the first step, you have to do it
I see you just sleeping in the same bed, fully clothed, every night, for several weeks (even months, if that's your thing), before actually having sex
Doesn't mean he won't make out with you, when you're comfortable with that. And he tries not to be the old him that would just grab your ass right away, instead, Rex learns that he likes to just… Explore
He squeezes your waist, he touches your hair, your scalp, he breathes your scent. He rounds his arms around you and just has nice, quiet conversations. He lays his head on your chest, stomach and lap, closes his eyes, and his mind is suddenly empty, while you take initiative and run your fingers through his ginger locks. He holds your hand when he takes you out
He spoils you, he was never the type of guy to do that, he liked being spoiled instead
Now, he just thinks he needed to meet the right person
He cooks, it's not good, but he's trying to impress and make you happy
He learns your hobbies, and spends quality time with you. You have to know he's not with you just for sex, just for your body, your mind is just as sexy to him babygurl~ (in a gn way)
He shows you his home magazines and you talk about your future home together, despite how surreal it feels, how impossible it seems, how scary, not only to you, but also him. But he wants this. He finally has something good. A purpose in life
And even if you express some negative thought, he’s surprisingly good at comforting and reassuring, on his own unserious and abrasive way
I wanna preface this by saying im not trying to be rude to people who use the flag im about to mention. Ive always thought it was a little weird as to why hypersexuality has a flag, as someone who struggles with it. Why does a disorder that is caused by trauma/exposure to adult content need a flag? I dont feel proud of having this disorder, cus it ruined me for a good portion of my life and it feels kinda like people are romanticizing it with the whole flag thing, i know this may not be the case, but it seems so demeaning to me to have a flag for a trauma response. Sorry if i offended anyone, i just think that its weird to have a flag of a disorder people are literally ashamed to have.
updated ref for one of the pookies bc I think he deserved a better one
tw under cut: partial nudity (just underwear but yeah), and also talk about mental health and sh for anyone sensitive to that. his injuries in this ref are healed tho, don't worry :3 /gen
