Re: Loroi sexuality

It seems as if Loroi society is almost heaven for a human who wants to laid by alien women, assuming Loroi women are like that.

I expect that, especially early on, there's going to be a LOT of hurdles to overcome to stand a chance of getting intimate with a Loroi. Even later I bet that the majority simply won't be interested in an alien and the ones that do you'll probably need to get on personality before anything physical happens.Alienscifi wrote:It seems as if Loroi society is almost heaven for a human who wants to laid by alien women, assuming Loroi women are like that.
Humans don't have telepathy. In the absence of a telepathic link with the human male, the *only* way for a Loroi woman to establish intimacy with a human male is you-know-what.fredgiblet wrote:I expect that, especially early on, there's going to be a LOT of hurdles to overcome to stand a chance of getting intimate with a Loroi.

Yes, the eidetic memory is a hereditary trait.fredgiblet wrote: That does bring up a question, are Listel abilities genetic?
Loroi will be taught from an early age to develop mental barriers to protect against unwanted intrusion and to tune out extraneous chatter, and telepathic message can be sent "privately" to specific recipients (though both barriers and private sendings can be defeated by a sufficiently skilled telepath). Some Loroi will be extroverted "chatty Cathies", and some will be more reserved and reclusive. Intensely intimate telepathic communication requires physical contact, which is not something done casually in Loroi society.Mr Bojangles wrote:Given their concepts of relationships and their telepathy, what is Loroi sociability like? Telepathy would suggest the potential for very deep bonds, but it would also suggest that a Loroi could have a pretty large personal space bubble...
Telepathic messages can be sent semi-privately, but females having affection for each other is considered completely normal. Most Loroi do not associate such affection with sexuality.Koori wrote:In a situation when a girl feels a sense of sympathy and admiration to the other girl, how she will be able to express your feelings? How she will reach mutual affection? And will? Or the feelings like this are not taken to show?
As militaristic societies go, the Loroi are relatively informal; they don't salute, etc. And there isn't a class division between officer and enlisted. But it's true that it would not be considered professional for a high-ranking officer to display too close a friendship with her direct subordinates.NOMAD wrote:however on a more serious note, wouldn't that kind of situation be frowned upon but the higher authorities. i know the Loroi have semi-hero worshiping of their famous heros (with the unfortunate tendancy or dying quickly), but i would expect lower ranked loroi to have "human form" of displaying respect telepathically to their higher ups.
As with humans, such relationships can be difficult to maintain at long distance. Often warriors are assigned to a post as a group with many of their friends and relatives from the same child-band; there is no prohibition against grouping relatives together (if an entire village's youths are wiped out with the loss of a single ship, well, tough luck). But as they age and rise in rank, there will be fewer of these friends around. By the time an officer is promoted to the rank of captain, she will probably have only a few trusted senior officers that she brings with her to the new command. Life can be lonely at the top.NOMAD wrote:also small question, how would two very "close" loroi be able to continue their "friendship" if they were on seperate ships? ( IE Ashrain having a step sister on another strike group in the reserve fleets or assign to a desk job on Cry of the Wind). I sure vid com's./text letters would be used (if possible/allowed) but missing the telepathical connection seems to me, of lossing the main essence of the sister-sister bond, some loroi would have.
It's almost as if it had been deliberately designed that way...Alienscifi wrote:It seems as if Loroi society is almost heaven for a human who wants to laid by alien women, assuming Loroi women are like that.
We didn't ask because it inconceivable to refuse pretty blue space elfves!Arioch wrote:Here's a question nobody's asked yet: Can a male refuse sex?
1. I don't think that Loroi will be interested in human males. If loroi guys are fragile and delicate, earth dudes will be treated as ugly quasimodo's. Jardin may pass, because off his boyish looks, but rest off us wouldn't be in loroi warrior's type.What is interesting to ponder is the effect of introducing so many males (albeit slightly alien) to a society in which access to males is a privilege. Imagine what would go through at least some Loroi minds:
"OK, so there are these hot alien males who are obviously interested in sex as much as we are, there is no risk of getting pregnant when I don't want to, and I can basically have one all for myself and get away with it."
First of all... what a cutie!pinheadh78 wrote:http://well-of-souls.com/gallery/images ... _male1.jpg
In a society in which homosexuality or bisexuality is considered the norm, then of course I would not expect it to cause undue problems in the military. But among the Loroi I do not think it would be considered the norm, for the reasons I have mentioned.Mali wrote: 2.

Hm, this is an interesting dilemma. Even human females aren't really consistently sure of what a "sexy man" is. For some this means these walking testosteron-flooded muscle mountains with a bird brain, for others the more delicate, even slightly 'effeminate' men are attractive, with basically any combination of thereof you can imagine in between. Worse, this has been proven to depend on the part of their monthly cycle in which the woman currently is - when she's close to maximum fertility, she prefers more aggressive, masculine types. Later, she looks for more settled, more sensitive guys who would take care of her and be good fathers (for the children she just conceived with the aggressive macho ).Mali wrote:1.

Who says evolution has anything to do with the loroi? There are strong indications that they are just an artificially engineered race. They may very well have been designed that way for no reason.Victor_D wrote: Speaking of which, WHY are Loroi males so small?

Good point.Mali wrote: 2. I strongly opposse view that homosexuals may make warriors uncomfortable on battlefield. Some examples makes my point: Holy Theban regiment, Alexander of Macedon personal Company or entire Spartan warrior culture.
But what Mali pointed out (a bond to the loved ones) is not diametral to the warrior-codex (a bond to your clan/group/unit/whatever).Arioch wrote:In a society in which homosexuality or bisexuality is considered the norm, then of course I would not expect it to cause undue problems in the military.

Like all of us.
Loroi females will often have their first sexual encounter at a very young age (8 or 9 for warriors), but it's true that this encounter may be their first real contact with a male, so they won't have much idea of what to expect. It wouldn't make much sense for a young female to be extraordinarily picky.Victor_D wrote: Since Loroi females spend most of their life completely separated from Loroi males, they don't really have much notion of what they are supposed to be like aside from what they've been told, right?
In most mammals, males are larger than females because they have a dominant role, often having to fight other males and protect females and young. In most other organisms, in which the males just fertilize and then leave, males are smaller than females. Most organisms are not big and strong unless they have to be, because it's expensive.Victor_D wrote: WHY are Loroi males so small?

There are plenty of examples of both of those cases. Social insects, for starters. In some bird species, males are so specialized for sexual display that they can barely feed themselves.Jericho wrote:Evolution would probably never create a mammal with males only being ten percent (i don't know of any real life examples). Nor do i think that evolution would create a male so fysically unfit for anything besides sperm donation (that on exists among fishes as far as i know).
So, was fighting for males common early in Loroi prehistory, so that this evolutionary pressure actually applied itself for a period long enough to produce such a marked change?Arioch wrote:In most mammals, males are larger than females because they have a dominant role, often having to fight other males and protect females and young.

I'm not following your logic. In most organisms, males are smaller by default, and it would take evolutionary pressure to make them larger, not the other way around.Victor_D wrote: So, was fighting for males common early in Loroi prehistory, so that this evolutionary pressure actually applied itself for a period long enough to produce such a marked change?
I wasn't talking about insects or birds. I was talking about mammals, there's a big difference in reproductive strategy between all three kinds of animals. Sorry if i didn't make it clear. Still if you know any mammal that fit the profile i'd really like to know .Arioch wrote:There are plenty of examples of both of those cases. Social insects, for starters.

First: Mammals are usually classified as creatures that give birth to live young so the loroi are most likely mammals.bunnyboy wrote:Actually, are we sure that loroi are mammals?
