Party Members - Blessing/Curse - Rationalizing

Party Members

You are an adventurer - doing quests, slaying monsters, thwarting nefarious plots, saving damsels in distresses - and occasionally, also the world(s). You do this for reasons of your own - gold, fame, faith, the sheer thrill of the adventure, or even for the company of easily-swooned tavern wenches.

For some reason, however, females member of your adventuring party are incapable and/or unwilling to resist any sexual act that you impose on or request of them.

Note: The term 'party member', as used here, has a narrow - yet simultaneously wide - definition. Basically, it covers 'individuals that travel with you through mutual intent'. To categorize :

• Your fellow adventurers, of course, are such party members.
• Squires, hirelings, cohorts - of yours and of your party members - are also considered party members.

• Rescuees are party members ... as long as the rescue was wanted.

• Bound, gagged, chained prisoners are not party members.

• Prisoners who have surrendered, on the other hand, are party members.

• Someone who follows, trails or shadows you without your approbation (whether by a mile or in the middle of your party) is not a party member. (Though in this case, you can unilaterally 'accept' their presence, at which point they are)

• On the other hand, if their presence is imposed to you (by order of a superior (guild head, Pope, king, ...)) and you accepted, however reluctantly, this imposition, then they are party members.

• People made to believe that you are going to travel with them, or otherwise integrate in your team, but for whom you have no intention of following through, are not party members.

(In that last case, it should be noted that, regardless you might succeed in bedding someone by falsely promising to make them a member of your party, but that would be through the gullibility of the damsel, not through your privilege - which might completely change what people's (including your erstwhile partner's) reactions would be.)

Blessing/Curse

It might have been a Divine gift from the God(dess) of Sex. It might have been the lust-infused touch of a succubi. Or it might be through the whimsical properties of a Nymph's Kiss.

Whatever the precise reason, something supernatural has seen that you would never lack intimate company when in the middle of your adventuring company.

Rationalizing

Once you make your interest clear - by either actions or words, said interest's target will find a reason as to why they are going to accept your advances. It might be grounded in reality, it might be an exaggeration of a pre-existing inclination and/or justification, or it might be absolutely spurious. But it will be truth to them, and even you would be hard pressed to convince them otherwise.

External View: It is accepted, by bystanders and others (even non-party member love/lust interests) that you have the right to have sex with your party members. Nonetheless - depending on their temperament - they might not want to have it happen right under their noses. The reaction is muted, though, and is equivalent to how they would react, for someone who isn't you, to a public display of affection : if you are banging a party member in the doorway of a tavern, they might request that you do that in a corner or near the hearth - you're in the way, thank you very much.

Ex-party members: The rationalization that a party member makes toward your advances doesn't systematically disappear once the individual separates from the party, though it depends wildly on how you cultivated the relationship both before and during their presence in the party.

For example, a romantic relationship started within the party might last beyond it if care and tenderness were applied throughout - thought without the active protection of your privilege, especially on the subject of outside view : for example, publicly courting a princess you rescued might be difficult, though the 'fact that you were together in a party' might help smooth some edges. As the 'party-relationship inertia' starts at the formal separation from the party, in such a case it would be wiser to marry while she's the party then settle, rather than the other way around.

Meanwhile, a surrendered prisoner, once freed (for whatever reason), will probably not have a very opinion of either you or your advances - while acknowledging that you were well within your rights to make use of her during her captivity, and simply being annoyed at herself for getting in that situation in the first place.
