Which of course is a good advice. Seriously I think while sex before marriage isn't frowned upon by the Orlanthi it isn't common. I think that most of the women marry before they have sex not vice versa. Why, you ask ? I think that pregnancy without a husband isn't something Orlanthi girls/women want. And parents would like their daughters to be married. I do not care for men as there are Uleria temples. Call me a fool but I think that most Sartarite women are heavy romatic and would want a marriage and of course a proper courtship before. I think this is even something that Orlanthi men would want. If they found their bride-to-be they would court her steeling kisses from her but not more.
I am keen to hear both sides - the men's and the women's (Jane Williams).
