*written in carefully disguised handwriting*

I am writing to you all on behalf of an anonymous individual. This individual (who shall henceforth be known as "Mr. X") has recently found that he lacks certain knowledge which could prove vital in the near future. Thus, he wishes to take advantage of everyone's wisdom regarding the romancing of men.

More specifically, Mr. X would like to know more about what he should do if, for whatever reason, he and his gentleman friend end up having to bed each other. I think it's safe to say that both are somewhat inexperienced, so it would be helpful to provide as much detail as possible regarding the physical mechanics—as is acceptable by the bulletin's standards, of course! (Also, it wouldn't do to neglect the emotional aspect either. I assure you that Mr. X is a true romantic at heart.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated by my acquaintance. Thank you in advance! :)

They aren't censored, they're simply silly. Full of 'quivering bosoms' and the like.

To some, the forbidden is quite thrilling. I had a priest as a lover once - he only favored the sinful and forbidden. For a holy man, he was truly quite perverse. I find myself unable to imagine any sexual taboos put in place for those reasons, but I imagine we come from different places.

I'm certain we do.

The gods forbid the mating of different races in my world, particularly those between a god and a human. Children of these relationships are considered heretical beings, and are treated with scorn by the Heavens, because they are considered to be a source of misfortune.

It is considered a terrible crime in Heaven to have relations with a heresy. Gods have even been punished for it by death, or a fate as close to it as the Heavens could come.

What happened to your priest?

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, breeding. My kind isn't capable of that so I'm afraid I don't think on it too often.

The priest? He met with a tragic accident.

There might be a good reason that law was put into place. Mixed bloodlines do tend to be a source of misfortune for all concerned... though I can't imagine a god being too badly effected by the end result of what goes on.

Watch your lover being led away in chains, an innocent woman only guilty of falling in love with you, a being cursed by the very gods who made you.

Then perhaps, if your opinion remains unchanged, you can speak to me of what little effect it has.

And yet the god remains alive, the wound can heal after eons of life.

Compare that to the suffering of the woman, and moreover to the curse that will continue down that bloodline, through all those generations, with each descendant having absolutely no say in whether they wish that taint or not.

Of course, that assumes that your world, and your gods, are different than my own.

Re: *Strokes are much bolder, the pen pressed nearly hard enough to rip the paper*

You understand nothing, do you?

I am a heresy, a cursed child of god and man. It has been 500 years since that woman was punished for my existance, and I have neither forgetten it, nor forgiven the gods who condemned her.

And the woman is dead.

I would say... that at the least, I can understand how the offspring of a god and a mortal can suffer because of that.

However, please understand that in my world, it works much differently. In my world, the god was never 'punished' for creating a full bloodline. Rather, every single descendant down the line has been cursed.

Mothers are fated to perish in childbirth, for one such bloodline. Another is damned to insanity. Yet another are forever lured with the promise of power, only to be hooked and used as vessels for that same god.

All perish in violence. The history of that line is written in crimson, and they are scorned and feared and hunted for the simple fact of their birth.

Considering all of this fatalistically, would it not have been better if neither of us had ever born?

Re: *handwriting a bit more tentative, still anonymous*

[screwthegods]

Perhaps. There was a time when I was happy to hear I would die one day, rather than spend eternity in that miserable existance.

But who is responsible for that existance? I didn't choose my heritage, and neither did you. So I decided that instead of cursing myself for being born, it was more appropriate to curse the gods to whom blame belongs, and to seek vengence on them.

So yes. Perhaps it would be better if such creatures were never born to suffer. But that doesn't change the fact that you and I both were, and while we cannot change that...

We are the ones responsible for how we live, and for finding our own purpose.

Have you found yours?

*handwriting still tentative and faint, still anonymous*

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I thought I had, once. Now I'm afraid I'm simply not sure what my purpose is to be; those with our power, with our bloodlines, are valued tools to those who do not see us as abominations... or even to some that do.

I know only that I refuse to give in to my heritage; I will not be like the one which cursed me and my family.
