Eh, that would be crowding in my opinion...but I am not one to judge. I know some people that would jump at the chance of--
...okay, never mind that.
BACK to topic, since many fantasy stories portray their non-human races as a reflection of an attribute of a portion of humanity (large or small, all equally important...sigh, the portion, not the attribute), they often endorse the opinions of the writer designing them.
So the answers some posters have given can be used to evaluate their opinion of what they like in humanity. I speak in jest of course, and am not actually accusing anyone of anything (like your women big, danny?).
Of course, I present many non-human races in my book as pansexual. It’s a result of a free society I imagine elves and dwarves might have--open and tolerant. And yes, this could reflect my opinion of what I would like humanity to believe in, though not an orientation I personally subscribe to. Call me liberal. This extends from sexuality to simple cultural beliefs. Women are not subservient in a single elvish culture in Amethyst. It’s an exclusive attribute of Mankind, I think (at least with intelligent creatures).
As for children, the pagus reach adulthood in 9 years, so there is not much for childhood. I have a race that never looks beyond 17 for their entire life.
