   Keys: Sex, Sexuality, Birth Control

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   While abortion is strongly frowned on in certain situations it is needed and healer hall handles it, Birth control is similar to high middle ages in that condoms are made from animal stomach cleaned and turned inside out, washed after each use and reused. Women have access to herbal based contraceptives, pull out method and cycle tracking. Lord Holders are able to request sex with any mature woman who is not married, she though can refuse if she wishes without fear of reprisal, but rarely do. Weyrs are far more promiscuous given the that riders are affected by dragon mating flights and the broadcast emotions from a mating flight are known to send non participants into a sexual activity. Homosexuality in normal hold culture is frowned on but not forbidden, Weyrs view it as normal due to blue, and brown mating with greens that are usually ridden by men.
