GURPS Sex revision

[Dwarf99]

Posting this here by request:

Zen Sex

Average

Defaults: Erotic Arts, Trained by a Master
This is the technique of making sexual maneuvers take less than a minute (as given in GURPS Hot and Heavy i think). This time cannot be reduced without Zen Sex, but for those that have it Zen Sex reduces the time taken per maneuver by a penalty shown below:

30 seconds -1
15 seconds -2
8 seconds -3
4 seconds -4
2 seconds -5
Instant Use -10

If you use this technique on a partner without Zen Sex they take a penalty to cause you inhibition loss equal to your level.

Because with the exception of a slight numbers tweak it follows the zen archery mechanic... plus train conductor was too crass.

One thing I would find useful in such a sourcebook (at least in some rare cases) is a random table or something like that to roll out the chances of a woman to get pregnant.
And of course IMHO it should have some scientific background to be roughly realistic, not just pure random ;) In a realistic model this would be dependent from the specific woman and the specific man involved, maybe some relation to HT or if you want to be creative it could be funny to invent a perk and a quirk for being more or less fertile :p (btw: is there already some super-quirk or so if anyone is not at all capable of reproduction? ;))
Oh and it would be very very funny to also have some little "miraculous" chances for a normally impossible or extremely unlikely pregnancy, in a mundane world this would be explained by some super-special case which is a big question for science. In a fantasy world for instance it could be easily explained by influences of the gods, of course positively modified if the characters in question sacrificed enough gold in the right temples :p

Some details like the deviance if it takes a bit more or less than 9 months would be nice, too ;)

Oh hey on another note I am working on my own book that includes info from C. Lee Davis's Hot and Heavy.

Like the rules in Low Tech Companion 1?

EDIT: Oops, got my LTCs backwards.

[Dwarf99]

I have a work in progress rule set that uses LT3.as a base...
EDIT: I have math for racially diverse pregnancy terms.

oh seems like I overlooked something, thanks for the information! ;) I'll check that out (though it may be extended for the specific theme anyway)

PS: do you know the page number?
