[ don't do it ]

Never mind that.
Are you in any way responsible for her hardship?

[underwhelms]

of course not
that would be impossible for a lot of reasons

[bornofgods]

I gather that the foremost reason is the lack of intimate relations.

[underwhelms]

[ rude ]

like i said earlier i'm smart enough to know better

[bornofgods]

[ it's only his 5th worst character trait ]

Smarter than "doing it unprotected"?
I see. If only I knew what this protection entails.

[underwhelms]

this is an alien planet so maybe the same rules don't apply
you haven't gotten sick have you?

[bornofgods]

No. Thankfully, it has been a long time since I have experienced any inkling of sickness.

[underwhelms]

then maybe you don't have to worry
but i guess your parents never taught you about safe sex?

[bornofgods]

You are correct. My parents never had time to indulge in such trivialities.

[underwhelms]

it's not trivial
or at least it wasn't
it might not be as important as learning to survive in the wilderness

[ or whatever important things ozymandias had to learn as a child ]

[bornofgods]

To a commoner whose survival depends on the land, perhaps.

In the case of a Pharaoh, the ability to ensure a heir to the throne has always been more important. I had tutors to instruct me, and physicians to deal with any complications. Though, I certainly never had any.

[ just to set the record straight... ]

Was it not the same for you? In my brief time spent on this world, I have come to the unavoidable conclusion that most hail from more enlightened times.

[ oh, he almost forgot that this guy is royalty ]

we learned sex ed in school
most people learned from their friends and the internet too
i was raised catholic so my parents didn't really talk about it
no fooling around before marriage

[bornofgods]

A noble ideal.

I also did not "fool around" before my first marriage.
If it is for someone that you hold dear, then it is worth the wait.

[underwhelms]

you're married??
do you have kids?
is your family here?
