One would think this would be more likely in cases where issue isn't an issue. Dragaeran prostitutes don't get pregnant - especially with Easterners as clients. Look at all the history on Earth where sex and marriage have been less integrated issues than they are today. Marriage has been primarily for life partners and heir producing. Love and romance haven't been as important parts, and were often separate. This is especially true in highly structured societies such as feudal ones. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
