[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 6057537, member: 1861"] How about sex is dangerous, and thus respected? In this, I will strictly be going with heterosexual intercourse... I don't feel like getting into any other imbroglio. We are a race that is poorly built for natural procreation. Sure, it's fantastic fun, and practice makes perfect... But because of our bipedal nature, energy requirements, etc. babies become serious business. Even in a world with great care, infant mortality, stillbirth, and miscarriage still happen. Then we have the 'practice' side of things. Even if you're deciding to go for any attempt at safe sex? There's not really such a thing in most settings without magic. Poultices, charms, etc. which didn't necessarily work in the real world may have a chance of working in this setting... But at what cost? Does your local Temple of Love provide protective amulets to those who could suffer from an unplanned pregnancy? Do nobles pay for their court mages to make philters or other means? And of course there's always all sorts of wonderful conditions beyond that... There's a lot of questions to it. Of course D&D never covers that, and the one 3rd party book that does cover any of that sort of thing is kind of anathema to this board ;). So moreso people didn't necessarily find it icky or wrong in the evil sense, but more in the possibly deadly, possibly sickening dangers of it. I would have no problem with prostitutes in a setting, or consider it necessarily an evil act.... And paladins don't spread disease, just a possibility for a bouncing baby zealot. Slainte, -Loonook.
