I don't feel like re-reading your thread, why are we calling him GP?
Gray Panther. We actually got on the topic of animals because he was doing this hilarious impression of black women talking/bragging to each other about men along the lines of "Oooh, girlfriend, my man came over last night and he was an animal." So, I told him he reminded me of a panther and he actually said that I was either a lioness or a deer.
I really think part of the issue with your H is that you aren't very object oriented. Is there any part of the male anatomy that you would get turned on thinking about? Or you could take it one step further. If you are turned on by strong initiation along the lines of a Serbian Mock Rape scenario, you could take your H's buff body comment and volley it back to him by saying something like "Well, clearly I won't be able to resist if you make full use of those buff muscles upon me." Or you could play it back as a tease by implying that you certainly will be able to resist his muscles. GP and I have a running joke now because he told me about one time that a woman bumped into him on an escalator and actually told him that he had a hard *ss and started groping it. I have repeatedly assured him that I would never do such a rude thing to him ever so he needn't worry- lol.
