I strongly object to that, way too broo-ish. It's not that broos are sodomites per se (they aren't: every orifice is fine for them, even wounds), but I still think that it is a major taboo of bullers everywhere on the Lozenge. Of course, it doesn't mean that some will not guiltily do it anyway... And with no penalty whatsoever except if they are caught: they do not automatically turn into Uraini, they don't breed broo larvae, nothing drastic whatsoever... Storm Bull is all understanding, after all he also felt lonely sometimes during his campaigns away from Eiritha. It was only his cursed brother who perverted the perfectly sane custom of the "special friendship" between fellow warriors. They aren't called "brothers-" or "comrades-in-arms" for naught !

Yeah, forcefully sodomizing one's captives is also rape. Thed be cursed !

I think it strange that in Glorantha the deity of rape is a rapee & not a rapist. The blame-it-on-the-victim game as usual... All hail the macho chauvinist pig (bull ?!) !!!
Onward the Glorious Blue Army !
