After hir conversion, Nio felt a lot more comfortable as a hermaphrodite jaguar Animalian. Shi mostly wish shi had done in sooner. And part of that was that shi just barely made it in time to sign for the IAC Games. It also became apparent that even though shi was quite gigantic for hir new species, there were others who were bigger and had more experience. Hir practice match with 'El Odio' definitely taught hir that it took a lot more than big muscles to be a luchador. Shi need to build up some skills if shi wanted a proper chance. And there were plenty of other herms who could give hir a lot of competition in the bodybuilding event.
Speaking of which, it was Animalian custom that whenever a new species of herm was introduced, the other herms would come to meet hir. Of course, as the number of herms swelled, it became decided that just having one representative from each of the herm species would be enough. And if the rumors regarding the international furry convention were true, they may need to set up one big event for all the newcomer species that will be introduced.
Nio found the variety of herms currently available rather amazing already. Shi noticed a majority were predator species. The cow and the horse were the only herbivores present, unless the mangrove kilifish was one too. But everyone else was a predator, including hirself. They ranged from wolves and hyenas to anacondas and bull sharks. There was even a herm raptor who came from Dinosaur City. Nio wondered just how many new species would be added this summer.
Presently, shi was in a conversation with the only other big cat present; Petra, representing the herm lions. Nio was having a little trouble controlling hirself around Petra. Hir new sexual desires were quite strong and it was taking conscious effort to keep hir new package in hir sheath. Thankfully, Petra was not perturbed by the younger herm's arousal. "Have you been getting enough release?" asked Petra.
"I, er, relieve myself every few hours," said Nio, a bit embarrassed.
"You're going to need a bit more help than that," said Petra, "As a double-dosed Animalian, you're going to have a very active libido for a while, more so since you're a herm. The best help would be with a partnet."
Nio flushed and said, "Well, actually, I did get an offer. There's this other jaguar named Milla who says she can help me deal with my urges."
"That sounds good, though another herm would be better," said Petra.
"Um, are you o-offering?" asked Nio, feeling more aroused.
"Not me," said Petra, "I've already got a mate. But Everix is still single and shi was asking if you were interested."
"Then why didn't shi come here?" asked Nio.
"Shi was worried shi'd mess up hir proposition and come out sounding like a creep," said Petra, "We Animalians might be more open about our sexuality, but the decorum can be a little hard for uplifted Animalians to grasp."
"Well, I'm pretty inexperienced myself, obviously," said Nio. Shi cringed a bit. Why did shi have to say that?
"Don't worry," said Petra, "Everyone starts off inexperienced. What matters is getting experience with someone you trust."
"Would Everix mind sharing me with Milla?" asked Nio.
"We're lions. We're a very communal lot," said Petra, "And from what I've heard about Milla, she's already open to having threesomes."
Nio would wonder what hir parents think about hir having two lovers at once. Well, shi didn't need to get into detail about them. Beside, they were going to be using birth control pills. Nio wasn't about to knock someone up or get knocked up hirself so soon.
