BoEF on Halflings/Hobbits
Community is central to life in halfling society. Love and acceptance flourish. Sexual sharing is a manifestation of community and fellow feeliing among adults. They frequently have sex with people they merely like., whose company they enjoy ot who seem to need the solace that intimate physical contact offers. Most nonhalflings, who might view halflings as being merely "cute", are astonished to witness the incredible diversity of halfling sex and the enthusiasm with which they engage in it. However, halflings are cautious about having sex outside their species, since they realise that their philosophies are not widely shared among other races.
Sex is much like a party, with the more the merrier. They honor the universal sexual taboos. Societal, consensual adult sex with anyone, even family members as closely related as first cousins, is acceptable. Exposed to a variety of cultures during their nomadic travels, halflings take to new sexual techniques readily, incorperating them into their vast repertoire.
Homosexuality is fairly common, although there is a lesser percentage of bisexuals in a given community than the human average. Halflings tend toward a given sexual preference and usually stick to it. Halflings reach sexual maturity between 18-25years, often culminating in a massive party in which the youth is set up with a willing partner, chosen by the rest of the clan.
Pregnany and Childbirth
Halflings have the same gestation times as humans and undergo similiar conditions. Mothers are active up to the last two months before retiring to the care of the community. However, due to the nomadic nature of most clans, mothers are expected to keep up the best they can before moving to the safety of their covered wagons.
Halflings while possibly the result of crossbreeding with humans in the distant past, are now unable to sucessfully cross-breed with most other humaniod species.*
Births are considered tiumes of festivity, with many parties and celebrations conducted in honor of the mother and the continuation of the clan. Multiple births are as common as they are in humans, twins and triplets are adored and dotted on by the rest of the clan.
*Crossbreeds: Celestials, Dragons, Dryads, Fiends, Nymphs, Sprites
