    I think that homosexuality is quite common among the Babeester Gor, for much these reasons. The bonding is advantageous to make a fanatic group of warriors, the denial of fertility is quite explicit within the Babestor Gor religion, and in addition they have very few men around anyway.

    Among the Humakti I think it is certainly possible, but I don't think that it is anywhere institutionalised like it is among some BG groups.
