Sex and Sexuality

Overview
This RPG is rated mature so we do allow sex and sexuality to occur. In medieval times, it was common belief that women needed to have sex in order to keep their wombs functioning. This same fact would lead men to believe that women were aching to have sex with them. It is that belief that leads to marriage becoming an essential method of fulfilling both parties. If you were of nobel blood, it would be vital to obtain a son in order for somebody to continue managing your your estates and family name.

Whilst we are very open to all kinds of sexuality and gender preference/identity we do play in the confines of the period that this RPG is set in. If for example, your character was a homosexual, that within it’s self would be fine but your character would not announce that publicly, he would be forced to pursue any relations with someone of the same sex in private (which can lead to some fun roleplay avenues.) Homosexuality wasn’t something that didn’t happen, nor was it something that people didn’t know about but it was the churches influence upon society that lead the general public to strongly view this as something against god.

The Church took a dim view upon prostitution, homosexuality, bastardy and incest. If cause part taking in such actions, you would be taken to consistorial (church) court where the bishop’s commissary may order the offending parties to be fines, to be whipped, to carry candles in procession in the church or to stand in a white sheet at the door of the church for three consecutive Sundays.
