Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 1116419" data-attributes="member: 7177">I'd say that it would be permissable for an LG character to have sex outside of marriage if the customs and traditions make sex outside of marriage permissable.There are many cases in history when it was acceptable for the upper classes to have a lover outside one's marriage. After all, marriages between these people were often arranged for political or economic reasons, and love didn't factor into it at all.So as long as our LG character upheld the parts of the marriage that were expected of him or her (such as "producing an heir and a spare"), he would be free to look for love - and sex - elsewhere, and his peers would understand.Still, being LG, he would probably go out of his way to avoid any hurt feelings among all concerned parties. He would have to develop an "understanding" with his wife, and he would also have to make it clear to his lover that he would never be able to marry her. Apparances must be kept, after all, or else the marriage would be pointless. So he is permitted to visit his lover secretly, and shower her with gifts and affections - but openly going to a major public event would be a big no-no.So pay your social dues, and you are home free, even if you are Lawful Good. Of course, if your society and/or religion sees adultery as something really bad, you are out of luck...</blockquote>
