The Dragon Keeper "Controversial?" Hobb and sexuality. *Major Spoilers up to RWC!

[Farseer]

You are so right, maulkin! Now you've got me really thinking...!

---

In Fitz's case, could it be said that he disregards, or is immune to, 'pack behaviour' in that he considers himself a lone wolf looking to mark his own territory, find his mate and create his own pack? Once within the pack arrangement * Farseer/Tawny Man Spoilers *

Spoiler

as he possibly is after the end of FF?), it is only then that he would fully exhibit pack behaviours eg recreational sex, have concerns with birth control etc? I'm not sure!

In saying all of that, I can see where someone could argue that his relationship with Starling could be termed 'recreational' and not 'procreative' in that he could never have truly expected a child to come from their joining due to her being supposedly barren...hmmm...he still yearned for it to be so though?

I know there are spoilers in my early posts, and the posts of others, but just taking the careful road from here on, until we can maybe change the name of this thread to include these other books, and have a general discussion on sexuality etc...
