All these women fighting over males who can't even get it up... now imagine the poor, poor male fairy's existence if he happens to also be totally gay. ^_^
I thought about it a lot. Lesbianism among fairies happens solely due to a total lack of men. Imagine the opposite - 200 men on a warship and no females. Males are utterly drowning in female attention - females on the other hand, only have each other for many years of their lives. They have to form pacts to be competitive to get a man.
Plus, a family with one man per wife is inefficient with exo-symbiotes: who rejuvenates the wife? She retards her own aging by feeding her husband to her womb but she doesn't live nearly as long as if she herself is rejuvenated by another woman. So there is a strong element of bonding between women, who routinely read each other's minds.
Ha ha, I meant Lesbianism *exists,* I wasn't questioning *why.* >_<.
Though perhaps a non-straight male fairy would be "straightened" (lol) by his first exo-symbiosis experience. If it corrects genetic discrepancies and such... >_<.
Well. Mating for life. So, were a female to be slain by an outside force AFTER mating, would the male become available, or would he ostracize himself from society? Or kill himself?
1:1 female:male pairings are almost NEVER seen among Siluvarans and are rarely seen among wild exo-symbiotes. It's usually 3 women to one man which still leaves 3 or more women without a mate. If one is killed by an outside force she is replaced. It's when the MALE is killed by an outside force that suicide is likely. A male who loses a wife to some killer will invariably go after the killer and one or the other WILL die. For sure.
Actually the wives are likely to avenge their dead husband... or die trying.
The only time you routinely see 1:1 pairings are among carnivorous fairies because they compete so hard. The male never ostracizes himself or commits suicide - even in a world where women are far too plentiful, he is especially likely to avenge.
I see. So the male will avenge his wife, and the wives will avenge their singular husband. A deceased female will be replaced by another one... Hmm. How do they feel about war killings as opposed to murder? Would the entire family fight, solely the valuabe male, or simply the surplus wives? And then of course there is the matter of whether a suspected killer would be tried in a court or simply dispatched in a duel. Or ambushed and killed.
There is no concept of a surplus wife in their universe. If anyone knew that one of their spouses would die minutes from now they would all intervene, whether it's a criminal or in the middle of a war. Males and females alike will join the military, there's just more females around. A suspected killer may be tried or dispatched in a duel. The Siluvarans tend to know who did what, and sometimes they'll use exo-symbiosis to probe memories to find out.
Or... they'll HIRE a human telepath who will find out from a long distance...
I see. Thanks for answering those questions, mate. I suppose my last one will be: what of the cycle of revenge? A soldier kills one wife, for example, and the husband attacks the soldier in retaliation but is slain. Will the cycle continue until the killer (or family) is dead, or will they consalidate their numbers after a certain point?
Such a conflict will escalate indefinitely. Eventually the Royal Guard will step in and mediate, with deadly force if necessary. The instigator's life is pretty much forfeit when the Royal Guard gets into it.
He slew a Siluvaran? Hell, he'd be in very big trouble. If s/he has FRIENDS who knew he did it, it's no different than with humans - law enforcement won't ever stop until he's been got. If he can prove she was doing something evil... then he's cool.
Note that killing a Silurhean carnivore will also bring a whole tribe against you - but if you kill one of them the Siluvarans will be glad to come to your aid...
And then of course there's also the issue of Masques being a form of Earth Law enforcement, so if he didn't have evidence against her it could well be war. Luckily he does indeed have that evidence.
Thanks, bro! But for now I'm writing the story of "X", a man sent- however briefly- to Felarya. Heavy elements of vore and gore, if I wrote it right, but... well, I'll show you when it's done. ;)
This makes for some interesting possibilities for humans with open marriages meeting your exo-symbiosis women. But what could happen if a pair of human couples that shared an open relation ran across some Siluvaran females?
Would there be a problem with two human males being in one Meluwen? And just how messy could this get? Would other Meluwen being understanding of one Meluwen getting two males at once? I realize this is one major "what if" question, but curious to if you have thought about this at any point >_>
I've thought of it. Fairies are in NO way familiar with the idea of one woman having two or more guys in her sexual/romantic group, whatever they call it.
There would be problems, primarily two:
1) Fairy males don't like to share. That's because they haven't ever HAD to. (Anyone can, however, write MMF situations in. Just be sure to provide a little justification...)
2) Some human males may be okay with sharing a woman, but when they come to fairy land, fairy women, facing a shortage of men, will do their absolute DAMNEDEST to divide the men from each other and conquer them as mates.
Bisexual men will present fairies with... an issue. Well worth addressing.
By the way just so you know... it occurred to me recently that the "excess of women" idea doesn't look so paradise-like when played through logically. To JUSTIFY such a scenario you must have a superior female-to-male birth rate, and a woman-heavy population evolves into a gyno-centric world (matriarchy, as we often call it). A harem? Oh, no, not possible in the long term - women will force their way on you and it won't always be what you want. Let's start with your house being decorated mostly to suit women! Pink colors, flowery stuff and fluffy slippers, oh my! You're catering primarily to female emotions and women-centered goals from birth to death and sunrise to sunset. Think of what women deal with in "a man's world" and turn it upside down.
You as a guy get your way when you get sufficiently pissed off.
It's actually making me proud to see my own theme subverted or perhaps even deconstructed. That gives me more room for drama and unpredictable story development!
Ask a woman how she deals with the male dominated world we live in today, lol. Then you have your answer, or at least a flavor of it. You'd have to ask about a hundred women to even begin to get a handle upon how they feel on the topic...

I am in doubt of whether there are gay males in the fairy universe. I certainly would not write about them! @_@
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Neither would *I* write about them... but it's maybe something to think of in terms of realism. After all lesbianism certainly isn't rare, is it? ^_<.

There is no such relationship between men.

Eh, I would not bet money that homosexuality is a genetic discrepancy.

Nor I, but it was meant as food for thought.
