You are such a grouch. Go back to your trash can, Oscar.  (you know I love you!)

In reality...I have packed a good trash can (garbage bin) this arvo haha I'm not joking...

And just to add... My Mother obsessively loves ABBA so naturally, I hate ABBA lol

So, the wiki quoted earlier is paraphrasing (as it must) what World of Thedas says on sexuality:

(From The Sex Lives of Everyday Thedosians, pg. 72, DA: The World of Thedas, also codex on Sexuality in Thedas)

What I find most interesting is that, despite the lack of open discussion on matters of human sexuality, there is commonality to be found on the subject in all Andrastian lands. Typically, ones sexual habits are considered natural and separate from matters of procreation, and only among the nobility, where procreation involves issues of inheritance and the union of powerful families, is it considered of vital importance. Yet, even there, a noble who has done their duty to the family might be allowed to pursue their own sexual interests without raising eyebrows.

 

The view on indulging lusts with a member of the same gender varies from land to land. In Orlais, it is considered a quirk of character and nothing more. In Ferelden, it is a matter of scandal if done indiscreetly but otherwise nothing noteworthy. In Tevinter, it is considered selfish and deviant behavior among nobles, but actively encouraged with favored slaves. Nowhere is it forbidden, and sex of any kind is only considered worthy of judgement when taken to awful excess or performed in the public eye.

LOL My pleasure. It's the academic in me... 

 

 

What I find interesting about that WoT entry is that same sex relationships don't seem nearly as mainstream as I would've hoped. But also keeping in mind... it's a Fereldan Andrastian cleric's explanation of Thedosian sexuality as well.
