Lara Raith marriage consummation
Mira:
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 27, 2022, 10:05:46 AM ---Yes, In the long term Raith was doing his House a disservice, a male whamp can sire multiple pregnancies over the period of a single female Whamp pregnancy, even presuming they have similar levels of fertility, but whilst a single mature egg may be generated over a 28 day cycle, the Male Whamp would generate millions of sperm over the same period.

I think the problem is one of sperm count, remember Thomas originally thought that he was sterile. With the exception of Lord Raith's kids there are very few WCV children running around. Which could be why Lord Raith seemed to have chosen human females for mating.

Sperm-count; and/or maybe motility.
The (potential) whamp sire may be draining life-energy from his own sperm. Certainly he's far into his own sexual pleasure (and hence his feeding cycle) every time he tries to get his partner pregnant.

could be BOTH males and females are low fertility. Too, consider how long Whamps live. Tortoises breed slowly. Rabbits, which live a year in the wild, breed like... well, rabbits....

That makes sense..
Dina:
I agree about both male and female whampires having low fertility is the most probable explanation.
Still, I think the marriage is not to be consummated, and will be nullified because of that. But why it won't be consummated? Because Harry is still protected by true love. Lara and Harry do not want to be married, so they will use it as an excuse for breaking the marriage.
(As we are a little touchy about writing, sorry if I made any mistake. As many of you know, English is not my first language).
