He is still alive when the animals rip his body apart. I tell you, no man there is crazy enough to try to sleep with a woman that is not his," </span></span>Gleywine explained casually. Ernest's eyes widened some, very surprised. Even by his sense of justice, that seemed rather brutal. Then again, the act of rape was rather cruel as well.<br/><span style="color: #FFBF00"><br/>"In my world, historically speaking, places that valued virginity either would force the women to marry their rapist, shun them, and in some cases kill them. Of course those sorts of people were viewed as very brutal and cruel. Those days are long over now, though. Do the women still become shunned in that case?

Perhaps it was the fact that Getalia was so far advanced in their technology and the Uhuru seemed content to remain as hunters and gatherers. He could imagine that the people were beautiful and strong, could see them in his mind's eyes. Lean, muscled, running through the jungle as they chased down their prey. He sincerely and deeply hoped they would meet them.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBF00">"So, in Getalia--how is intimacy regarded? Is it as sacred at it is with the Uhuru? I can't imagine so if there are sex slaves--but still, how do your people see it?"</span>Ernest asked.
