[Mordin is sitting at his desk, with a variety of objects including slender fruit. For anyone familiar with reading salarian faces, he looks quite serious.]

Need for contraceptive review has become apparent. Several local options currently available. Significant improvement over previous situation.

[He holds up a packet]

Hormonal regulation now viable. Highly effective but not suited to short term encounters.

[And thus the condom and the fruit come out]

Barrier methods superior for casual contact. Prevent disease in addition to pregnancy. Can review proper application as needed.

Expect all to take reasonable precautions. Also have pamphlets available. Do not wish to hear of rhythm or withdrawal.

Mordin SOlus: Making sex as unsexy as possible

[theverymodel]

Salarian reproduction differs. Fewer hormones. But understand other species anatomy. Stimulation of nerve endings creates pleasurable sensation. Certain angles ideal for comfort and enjoyment of both parties.

[threesovereigns]

Ah... what is a 'hormone', ser? I grow to understand that the world I am from is perhaps simpler in its understanding of the natural world than many others.

[Zevran sketches a mock-regretful half bow in Mordin's direction.]

But then, one does not need learning from books to understand passion! Which is not to say that I have not found many very interesting books on the subject, if one knows the right merchants to speak to.

And then too there are the mages and their circles, and tose circles' libraries. It is after all the Templars that must be chaste.

Chemicals within body driving various physiological process. Sexual arousal in this case. Not present for salarians. Less [sniff] complicated.

Truly?

[Zevran sounds disbelieving at this.]

You truly do not feel... the urge? At all? And your people continue to thrive?

[theverymodel]

Arranged breeding contracts. Matings beneficial to both clans. Simple.

[And generally someone else's problem]

[threesovereigns]

Yes, yes, the qunari do something similar... but even they have liasons, of a sort. Terribly rigid ones, I should imagine, and not at all in the enjoyable sense of the word, but... they are an unusual people.

Yours sound far moreso, ser. And you do not miss this opportunity? Your arts do not suffer from the lack of lovesongs and cleverly dirty limericks?

[theverymodel]

Other subjects for art. Hard to miss things never there. Hadn't heard of other paths until Asari contact.

[threesovereigns]

I don't suppose there are any of these 'asari' around? I should be interested in, ah, comparing notes.

[Preferably while naked, if the quality of this tone is anything to go by.

In the meantime, I think you for the education, ser doctor. I shall continue to take advantage of this future...
