| - The Abunese don't see their sexuality as a taboo or something sinful, that should be hidden. Indeed, it's not uncommon to see Abunese dancers at banquets and taverns dancing with little (or very revealing) clothes, or even dancing naked, because they think that the human (they consider themselves as humans) body is one of the most beautiful and perfect creation of the Gods, and it's something that must be looked and appreciated. If the servant is naked, he/she will decorate his/her body with tattoos or jewels. Sometimes, they wear semi-transparent veils. Naked dancers often wear a leather tiara and a belt that tingle when they dance, . Priestesses and low-class women often keep their breasts exposed and in some villages female children don't cover their breasts until they reach the age of the Sarenasha. Being nude in Abun has religious means too. From the 12th to the 16th of Ankdan-At, there is the festival of Risia, where the priestesses of Risia dance and celebrate her birthday, their bodies are decorated only with religious markings and jewels. During the festival, it's possible to have sex with the priestesses without paying a tribute to the temple (as long as the boy did the Sarenasha), and in the last day of the event, a man or a boy is chosen among the citizens, who will be the "Issinn", basically a sort of temporary reincarnation of Sinit, who will have sex with the local High Priestess in a public ceremony. During the ritual, the Issinn is possessed by Sinit himself or a spirit sent by him, and must have sex with the High Priestess on the main altar, located outside the temple. It's very important that the Issinn, who protects his member with the Len (the Abunese condom), must ejaculate inside the Len while is member is inside the priestess, since it simulates the moment of the impregnation. After the ejaculation, she will take the Len off the Issin's member and drop the semen into a wooden bowl, and she will drink it, since the Issinn's semen is considered to be magical and imbued with Sinit's vital and sexual power. After that, she will bless the people and the Abunese soil with a prayer. If someone has impersoned the role of the Issin during one of the Festivals, will be highly respected by people. The sexual intercourse itself on Abun, isn't seen only as a mean of creating new life, but also as the maximum source of pleasure and the most important gift given to the mortals by the Gods. They consider it as a relief from the hard life of a mortal, and is usually done when there's a close relationship with someone, like a close friend. In some provinces of Abun (such as in Faza), men lend their wives or daughters to their guests, who entertain them with sex the entire duration of their stay. This custom exists in politics too, since ambassadors who are guests of a foreign kingdom, province or city-state, are entertained by one or more servants of the ruler, who will have sex with them. In Abun, using sex as a political way to define treaties and alliances is something that has become common after Kaliendra's election at queen, while it's largerly used by other kingdoms. Prostitution in Abun is legal, and brothels are authorized by the state and pay taxes. Surely, one of the most important pillars of the Abunese sexuality is the Sarenasha ritual. Meaning "passage" in Abunese, the Sarenasha is done both by males and females as soon as they hit puberty, usually from 13 to 14 years old, sometimes 15. The Sarenasha consists in having sex for the first time with a family member (usually a sister or a cousin for a boy, the father, brother, a cousin or a uncle for a girl), because the Abunese think that losing virginity is something that must be done only by someone of the family. In case of orphans, the boy will do it with a priestess of Risia, while the girl will do it with a priest of Sinit. The Sarenasha is something that all the Abunese should do, and is seen by people as a very important step forward in life. Despite incest isn't forbidden in Abun, it's considered sinful for boys to have sex with their mother, because they are the supreme bearers of new life. In Abun the idea of age of consent doesn't exist, because someone can have sex as long as he/she did the Sarenasha ritual. Usually during the ritual, the male must not ejaculate inside the female, but he must always ejaculate on her body (usually her face or her breasts), since she must taste his semen as a simbolic way to mean that she let the male energy of her partner out of him for the first time. The legal age in Abun is 19 years old both for male and female, and usually they marry around 20/21 years old for the boys and 18/19 years old for the girls. Kaliendra married Prince Faad when she was 18, while Faad was 22.
