You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking.
thats an offensive slang term :vWhat they said.
it gets confusing because 'Qunari' is not a race, it's a culture. The Inquisitor is a Vashoth Kossith.
If you play as a Qunari, I don't think it'd have too much of an impact, except maybe mentioned in passing. WE're living outside the Qun after all and so we don't have to stick to those rules/beliefs. Its a really interesting prospect to consider when thinking about the romance with Iron Bull though...I wonder if we'll have to push a bit harder to get an actual romance started.
Honestly that's why I always thought a qunari romance would be so interesting. What would that even look like for someone raised in the Qun? Are they suppressing natural tendencies toward romantic love or do they generally not feel those things like the other races do? What kinds of hangups would it give someone to indulge in something that generally gets you sent to the reeducation camps back home, and how would you deal with a partner who couldn't really empathize?
Compelling stuff. I hope IB's romance arc goes into this.
Since there are Qunari fans here, I have a hypothetical.
Is is possible for a non-Oxman Qunari to rise to one of the three leadership positions in the Qun? (Arishok, for example)
Yes. Though it would probably be rare, considering that Qunari far outnumbers any of the Viddathari. But theoretically speaking, there is nothing preventing a human/elf/dwarf convert to obtain one of those roles.
Is love without sex that much of a shocker to people?
Sexless romance is probably one of my favourite parts of the qunari culture
We don't even know that Qunari are allowed to have romantic relationships. All we know is that they feel love and have romantic feelings. And even if they are allowed to be in relationships, I'd bet that the only thing preventing them from having sex is the illegality of it.

It is inhumane and they should be burned to the ground! We need our ******!

That isn't romance. That's platonic love. For romance to exist there needs to be sexual contact between two (or more for you freek-a-leeks) parties. Even a married couple that doesn't have sex and kiss have gone from a romantic relationship to a familial one.

Soooooo impotent men can't have romantic relations?

The asexual community disagrees with you.

Kissing is a form of sexual contact.

That certainly puts a spin on parents kissing their children.
You know what I mean.
No mention of sex here.

I do. I disagree however. A kiss is a show of affection (in most cultures). Can it be sexual? Certainly. But that is not the defining quality of a kiss.

Whatever man. Unless asexuals are giving it to their partners or displaying affection then that relationship isn't romantic.
Some people might disagree.

That **** holds no weight. Anyone can go to dictionary.com and copy/paste something. Express yourself through your own words and ideas instead of copy/pasting.

We are verging into offensive territory here. Also, not all displays of affection are sexual in nature. A hug for instance. Whether a relationship is romantic or not depends on the people involved in it. If they see it as such? Then it is.

Now we're entering the realms of subjectivity.

But that is just it. Kisses CAN display affection, and usually does. Though they do not ahve to be sexual of nature. A small thing such as kissing your wife good-morning is a show of affection, that isn't sexually charged. It is more of a "Oh look, we both survived the night. Great!" type of thing.
So while QUnari certainly aren't allowed sexual relations, or at least not one that ends up with a pregnancy, there is no reason to believe that they are disallowed any display of affection at all.

I guess. But that type of behavior would probably be under scrutiny. If I keep touching/feeling/caressing/groping a girl it kind of sends a clear message. A message that the Tamassrans and Ben-Hassrath wouldn't tolerate unless it was authorized. I suspect the Qunari medicate to keep their population sexually placid. When it comes time to breed they suspend the meds.
Yeah that part of the Qunari life style is no fun.

So sex is the only means of "displaying affection"? Words aren't enough?
How does it benefit you to deny people's experiences? Do you feel slighted in some way by asexual people participating in romantic relationships? In what way does random people you don't know or care about being wrong (god forbid) about their feelings affect you negatively?

I thought it was the other way around? Or at least they do have sexual relations for the purposes of reproduction, but with a partner chosen by the Qun?
