Winter Lady Restrictions

(1/16) > >>

JTass:
Just had a thought and figured it was worth posting. Apologies if the subject has been posted previously.

In Brief Cases Mab implies that the Winter Lady is forced to be chaste because becoming pregnant would disqualify her eligibility for the position. From that premise one could assume that non-vaginal and/or non-penetrative sexual activity would be outside of the Winter Law prohibition.

Thoughts?

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Winter Lady was chased  by Carlos, and unfortunately for him her caught her,

ElusivePan:
I don't think we know for sure yet, but I sort of doubt it'll allow much of that sort of activity.

It being a magic think make me believe that the requirements would be metaphysical rather than physical—after all, if its purpose was mere pregnancy prevention, it would be much more efficient to make her womb inaccessible or unsuitable than to fight off anyone who wants to give her a go.

My guess is that the mantle is keeping her an actual maiden, i.e. young, nubile, desirable, and unused.

I dunno about that... it was implied but never explicitly stated that Jenny Greenteeth was Maeve's lover. That could have been Maeve's way of sidestepping the chastity prohibition imposed by Winter Law.

I think that was just a standard-issue temptation, a mimeshow for effect (IIRC, there's good research to the effect that the MFF menage a trois is (one of the, and maybe absolutely the) most-common male fantasies).  Maeve was just working on Harry (and Billy).

I'm pretty sure Nemfection freed Maeve from all those restrictions, though... She could lie overtly, she could have intercourse with a man, etc.
