A — Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
While their sex life is pretty varied, In general they are both intense lovers so sex then ends up being a taxing physical activity most of the time. When they're done, they usually enjoy staying in it for a bit, processing it, basking at it.
Jack loves looking at Shen, admiring him for a while, prompting him to shoo him away. He loves talking, asking how the other is doing. He also usually initiates the aftercare process, bringing Shen water, checking on him, etc. After Shen figured out Jack actually loves being taken care of too, he's been taking that initiative more often. When they play rough, Jack is the one that comes out looking a little worse for wear, so Shen taking care of him is a given.
Once Shen comes out of cloud nine, he wants to get cleaned. Showering, changing sheets, getting rid of all residue that was hot during it, but when it was over, it was over. He found lingering in it gross as hell. The main reason why he doesn't like fooling around outside a domestic setting. Before dating Jack, he usually was the guy taking initiative with aftercare in his sexual encounters.
B — Body Part (Favorite body part of theirs and their partner’s)
Shen was genetically blessed and he thanked God every day for it. He had a very naturally muscular body. Nothing compared to if he actually had a consistent workout routine like Jack's, but it came with a nice set of abs that he fucking loved and all the attention it received from every sexual partner he has ever had, including Jack. Speaking of Jack's body, Shen was spoiled for choice. He can't choose between Jack's veiny forearms or the thighs on that man, and how heavy they felt on his shoulder when he fucked him missionary.
Jack was enamored with his own pecs. They were a labor of love. Simple as that. As for Shen's body, Jack loved his abs, but since he's been making him go to the gym, his arms have been growing nicely and Jack liked that.
C — Cum (Anything related to cum)
Jack's orgasms are usually pretty intense. He cums loud, hard and a lot. Long, thick, rich ropes of white, and he has always produced a lot of it. He loves coming everywhere. Shen finds it super hot, but it's a bitch to clean up.
Shen's orgasms, on the other hand, are pretty standard except he shudders and twitches a lot.
D — Dirty Secret (A hidden kink/fantasy/secret)
Anyone that looks at Abbot and Shen together thinks Jack is the dominant one in the relationship. He is an older, stronger, former military guy that exudes an aura of leadership, discipline and bossiness everywhere he goes while John is the funny chill guy with his Dunkin' cup and his easy, tranquil attitude. Jack must turn that little man into mush every time they go at it.
No one could guess that John is the dominant one in their relationship and that Jack is usually the bratty sub, the one whimpering and crying and overstimulated as he obeys his lovers every command, and that he is a grade-A masochist.
As for Shen, he is, well, a "natural" at being a Dom, as Jack would put it. No one would guess that, but looking back at his entire sex life, that makes sense. But his dirtiest secret is: he's got a thing for stealing. He gets off by shoplifting, taking people's stuff from their bags, wallets etc. But never to do harm, he wouldn't take money or anything valuable. Just trinkets, a keychain, a pack of condoms from the drugstore or, at most, someone's charger. Jack isn't the biggest fan of this.
E — Experience (How experienced/skilled they are)
Shen's had a normal, healthy and crowded sex life. The man was always hot and always had game. A fairly respectful number of bodies on his count and as far as he knows, no one had any complaints.
He wasn't experienced with BDSM and Dom/Sub dynamics until he started dating Jack, but oh boy, he is versed in it now.
The same goes for Jack. The man was flirting with everything that had a pulse and has always been a good-looking son of a bitch, even before being all muscles. He was happily and loyally married for 14 years with his late wife, who was more on the vanilla side of the kinky spectrum so he was a bit rusty once he started going on dates with people, but he's back to being a freak again.
F — Favorite Position
Both love Missionary. The eye contact is hot and it is comfortable. And Shen loves comfort. And there was nothing more comfortable than to have Jack's leg over his shoulder weighing him down whenever he tops him.
Jack also likes picking Shen up, but only when he gets to top, and fucking standing up.
G — Goofy (Serious or playful during sex?)
Neither of these guys could be serious even if their lives depended on it. Jack's dry sense of humor shows even when he is in sub mode, sometimes breaking character when Shen makes a stupid joke or looks kind of stupid. They both giggle and laugh during their post-nut bliss.
H — Hair and Hygiene (Grooming habits, body hair, etc.)
Shen keeps his facial hair shaved off and cuts his hair regularly. He had a beard with longer hair when he was in college but it was annoying to maintain so he just hacked it off. Jack's jaw dropped when he saw the old pictures. Shen takes care of his skin and is a very hygienic guy overall, but doesn't shave his pits. He is not a very organized person though. He is messy as hell and only does chores when he feels like it, or when the house starts to stink, a habit he's been changing and improving on since moving in with Jack.
Jack maintains his curls and has a perpetual 5 o'clock shadow. His chest is hairy but it doesn't grow too much hair, just enough to be there. He used to shave it, but Shen likes it. As much as Shen loves his expression lines and wrinkles, he is forcing the man into taking care of his skin and wearing sunscreen, for the love of God. Jack is hygienic, but less than Shen. Not too much to stink, but enough to have a natural musk to him. Shen likes how he smells and tastes.
I — Intimacy (Romantic vs rough emotional style)
They are tooth-rottingly in love, and their sex life reflects that. Jack is big on negotiating boundaries, limits, etc. both in and out of bed. They both have their distinct tastes, different things they like and dislike about each other. Jack is rougher, rawer, while Shen is a little softer and more romantic with it, even when he has his Dom pants on.
J — Jack Off (Masturbation habits/headcanons)
Shen loves to jerk-off. He has no ceremony about it. Sometimes all he needs is a good thirty-minute session alone with his hands and a little inspiration.
Jack doesn't care much for masturbation. He prefers to save his energy for sex. But sometimes he indulges. He likes to delay the pleasure as much as he can, like he is punishing himself for doing that. He comes just as hard.
K — Kink (Favorite kinks)
Jack is into everything under the sun in the realm of BDSM that causes pain and discomfort, especially if he is the one getting it. Impact play, orgasm control, bondage, etc.
He considers himself, however, as a switch through and through but has a preference for submitting. He is also a brat.
Shen is comparatively new to all of this. He doesn't particularly care much about BDSM but indulges in it because of Jack. When he discovered Jack's submissive side, he thought it was funny and, sure, I can be your Dom, I guess. He likes it, not enough to do it every time because it takes preparation, drive, logistics etc. to enact it in ways both him and Jack are satisfied with. But when he steps into it, oh boy, Jack is in it for a ride. Turns out, Shen actually liked beating the shit out of him.
Outside of this small sample of sadomasochism, Shen has some other kinks. He has the previously mentioned kleptophilia, and he has a big praise kink. Telling him how good he is doing, gets him going like nothing else. Jack knows this, and weaponizes it against him.
Both have a competence kink, which is probably why this relationship works so well.
L — Location (Favorite places to hook up)
Both enjoy it the most when they do it in a private, domestic setting, like their home or a hotel room, etc. Shen because he dislikes to fester in the unhygienic aftermath without the option to bathe himself ASAP, and Jack because it’s simply not practical and because he knows too many people.
However, they ever so often visit the eighth floor of PTMC, which is the pretty much abandoned inpatient rooms floor. Even so, they limit themselves to quick encounters. Make out sessions mostly, with the occasional jerk-off and blowjob.
M — Motivation (What turns them on)
Trust. Like, visible trust. Looking at each other and seeing your partner isn’t worried about you testing their boundaries, ignoring their concerns or using your faults against you. That is ultimately what keeps John and Shen’s relationship going.
N — NO (Hard limits/turn-offs)
Shen’s biggest no is bodily fluids. He is an emergency medicine doctor who has seen it all. He has been knuckle-deep in infected, festering wounds oozing with pus, completely unphased by it. Nothing could gross him out, but that didn’t mean it was hot. Sure, you have to interact with them at some point but not a second more than necessary. He loves when Jack comes all over the place, and he loves when he sucks his dick and leaves a slobbering mess of spit on it. He knows that sexual overstimulation can make you pee on yourself. He knows douching isn’t always a perfect procedure and accidents can happen. He knows some people might be overconfident on their fellatio skills and end up throwing up. He won’t judge anyone in those situations. But if you propose deliberately indulging in this kind of play, like watersports or saving come for later to him, he’ll tell you to go to hell.
Jack’s biggest no is a surprising one. Despite being a sub and enjoying degrading dirty talk, he fucking hates being called “boy” or “pup” or any variation, and doesn’t like calling people that either. Shen works around that by calling him “soldier”, “little soldier”, “little man”, etc. Just, not boy or pup. Please. He doesn’t understand why it doesn’t do it for him, but it just doesn’t, and people just kept insisting on it.
Also, don’t be weird about the leg.
O — Oral (Giving/receiving preferences and skill)
Jack is admittedly much better at eating pussy than sucking dick. He was happily married and loyal to a woman for 14 years of his life, so he hadn’t practiced fellatio for a long time.
But it’s just like riding a bike y’know? Sure, if you don’t pedal for fourteen years you won’t come back being able to pull BMX stunts, but you can go from point A to point B without problems.
Shen, however, is an expert at it. Jack loved how he was able to take all of his massive cock. Shen began training him to improve.
P — Pace (Slow/sensual vs rough/fast)
It depends on who's taking up the ass, honestly. Jack likes making animalistic sounds, wildly moaning. He likes it hard and rough, and Shen obliges despite preferring a little more of love making himself. But on the occasions when Shen bottoms, Jack flips the script. He knows he has a challenging dick to take in. Long and a little on the thicker side. Shen is not very fond of bottoming so the times he does, Jack wants to make it count, make him want to come back for it, praising him all the way. “You take me so good Johnny.” “Breathe, baby.” “It feels so good inside you John.”
Q — Quickie (Thoughts on quick sex)
Jack doesn’t have strong opinions on quickies. I mean, it’s sex. He does prefer the full experience more. Shen likes them. He loves randomly taking five minutes squeezing a blowjob in or a finger up Jack’s ass in the middle of their usual routine, and he knows Jack can’t help but do as he says when he says.
R — Risk (How experimental they are)
Depends on what kind of risk. Jack knows all the limits of his body and does not like to test them, neither does he like it when Shen does it to himself. He is also not a fan of public sex or exposing himself too much. The 8th Floor is the only exception he eagerly makes. Shen doesn’t like exposition either, but he loves to test the limits of what is and isn’t an HR violation at work. When they were hiding their relationship, he loved to take risks to see if their colleagues caught them. Now, just the 8th floor escapades suffice. And walking around the house fully naked with the windows open.
S — Stamina (Rounds, endurance, recovery time)
Shen has the stamina of a regular, fit adult male of his age.
Jack’s stamina is insane. The man just doesn’t get tired doing anything, he endures hours of torture when him and Shen are playing rough, but once he comes, that’s it. Show is over. He takes a long time to recover, one of the main reasons why Shen has included come control into their BDSM routine. He is still a 51-year-old man, so he falters sometimes, but it’s quite rare to his credit.
T — Toys (Use of sex toys)
Jack loves using toys. He learned to use them while he was married to Laura, when she insisted she wanted them to incorporate toys into their sex life. Shawn took a while to understand the dildos and vibrators weren’t his enemies, but his allies. Now, he mostly uses toys on himself. One time Shen made him stay plugged for an entire shift. It felt good, but very distracting. Shen fucked him through the mattress that day.
Shen is neutral. He mostly uses toys when playing with Jack, varying from basic stuff like plugs to the torture devices Jack begs him to use on him.
U — Unfair (Teasing/edging/bratty behavior)
Jack was born a fucking brat. It’s part of his being. He flirts with everyone, everyone is charmed by him, always makes stupid jokes and lives for teasing. Shen is the same, but once or twice in a while he decides Jack needs to be put in his place. He thinks Jack likes to taunt him into wanting to put the Dom pants on.
V — Volume (How loud they are)
Jack is very fucking loud. He roars and moans, and when he comes it’s usually with a big noisy shout. Shen loves to bring all those sounds from him.
W — Wild Card (Random spicy headcanon)
The second time they’d had sex the power went out halfway through. Shen’s shitty apartment complex he was living at the time had a building outage, full dark, everything off. They stopped then lay there in complete darkness for a moment. Then Jack started laughing and couldn't stop, and then Shen started, and they laughed until their sides hurt and then they finished in the dark anyway because why wouldn't they.
Shen maintains this is the one of the funniest things that has ever happened to him. Jack agrees.
Also, they have recorded several sex tapes over their relationship. Shen’s favorite is one of the many he recorded from his POV fucking Jack missionary while gripping his neck and choking him while Jack thanked him. Jack’s favorite is the one Shen uses him as a punching bag while he wears pink camo print pants and then Shen lets him top. They are recorded then burned into DVDs so they only exist in physical media.
X — X-Ray (What’s going on under the clothes)
Jack’s body is covered in his once red hair, now white from age and sun exposure. He is covered in freckles and moles that he doesn’t understand why people are so attracted to anyway because they are a pain in the ass whenever he needs to do a derm consult. His body is strong, and very well taken care of. Truly a temple. His legs are solid and firm, and his ass was big with how muscular his glutes were. He usually wears plain underwear, mostly white Calvin Kleins, and military briefs. Pubes were still the old color of his dark auburn hair that was no more. He has a massive dick. 22cm long, 13cm of girth, curved upwards, uncut, perfect shade of pink.
Shen is lean, slim but defined, not bulky. Genetically blessed to be naturally athletic while barely setting foot at the gym in his late thirties, sporting a good set of abs that still showed below the modest layer of fat in his belly. Barely any body hair, completely shaven, except for his pits, who weren’t even that hairy anyway, and his pubes, that he kept trimmed. Same as Jack, he loves comfy briefs. Above average dick size, nowhere near Abbot’s though. His crotch area, and therefore his penis, is a few shades darker than the rest of his skin.
Y — Yearning (Sex drive/libido)
They are both rabidly in love with each other, so they always seek each other’s touch. They love to have sex, and they want each other a lot of the time, especially Jack, who is straight up clingy. He always wants to be glued to John, even if just touching and caressing him while he is cooking, massaging and kissing his feet while watching TV on the couch, grabbing and groping him when they walk by each other at the hospital. Shen doesn’t mind it one bit, but he doesn’t feel the same need to be looking for Abbot’s warmth all the time. He likes to have his alone time.
Z — ZZZ (What they’re like after sex/sleep habits)
Jack’s body shuts down after he comes. He dozes off right after, especially after a rough one. Shen is usually filled with the rush still after some time. Maybe it’s because he isn’t as old as Jack, who is in his early 50s.
