I think this counts as bestiality for both parties - so its a cultural
NO.
(I think I saw this in either Dorastor or the ToTRM with the Basmoli
write-up). I think there is also some mention of non-hsunchen smelling
wrong and so being repugnant to them.
Can they produce offspring? Who knows, but since I've always figured
that
some hsunchen can produce 4-legged offspring from 2-legged parents (and
vice versa - especially if the 2-leg is using shapeshift magic at the
time
of conception) then they might not be able to produce offspring. They
look
the same but they are different 'species'. (Phenotype vs genotype thing
for the geneticists)
- ---
IMO, a hsunchen is still a human. They just have different worship and
a very close relation to their totem. I think that people can be
adopted into their clans and gain the same relation with their totem if
allowed to. So, to that end, I would argue that they can, do, and will
have sex with humans and that they can create viable offspring.
What happens though if a person is adopted into the Telori? Do they
gain the Gbaji curse? If Telmor himself cursed and all people who share
of his gifts get it?
Cheers,
Wesley
