Something I came up for Drow Men

[Kenpo Wolf]

I would make this a cult. Lloth wouldn't want male drow to have a deity. She likes them just like they are- downtrodden.

I like this idea. Maybe this cult of male drow is not as evil as the typical drow. They could be outcasts of the main society

spider matings

Relatively few species of spider feature the female deliberately eating the male. It happens as an accident in varying degrees in most cases. In the case of the black widow she eats small bugs about the size of her lover. And she has poor vision & limited brains. So he has to approach her very carefully [in some species he uses his own webbing to tie her down.], and leaves quickly afterwards, to avoid her making a mistake he at least will regret.

One reason for the confusion on the subject is that early researchers would put male and female in a relatively small bottle so they could see what was going on. This also meant the male could not escape, and eventually the female would get confused about him and...

There are a large number of spiders, and a large variety in their sexual habits, which do include some where the male actively offers himself as a meal. But in the normal case, the male expects to survive the encounter.

I like the idea. Why can't they just worship a male aspect of Lloth?

I'm sure lloth would grant spells to the men secretly if it was in her best interest too!

Personally, I don't like the idea of Lloth having a male mate, it doesn't suit her. It's interesting, though.

Just what are you inferring? She isn't hetrosexual?

To be honest, I just liked the idea of male drow patterning themselves after Hunting Spiders, just as females pattern themselves after web-spinning Spiders.

I saw a thing on the discovery chanel reciently that said the male black widow is always eaten. the female will munch him while he humps away if he's not fast enough, if he is he will come back to mate again and she will kill him. the film footage was grisly
