#devaron worldbuilding

It was also not uncommon for females to be polyandric, or to have one male lover but several wives/girlfriends (females were indeed allowed to marry multiple other females as long as all parties were consenting).

As for males, some of them will also choose to live on Devaron to raise their own family, with other adults helping them, be it their own partner, their parents or simply their friends.

That's because community living is very much ingrained in Devaronian culture, and not just for females. Most Devaronians, even off-world, do not enjoy being alone, especially if they have been raised on Devaron and thus grew accustomed to having a large family or large circle of friends. They will often stick to other groups of aliens and remain with them in private and/or social and/or professional contexts... although whether they will remain loyal is entirely up to each individual Devaronian.

Male homosexuality is also regarded as common and normal, although straight and bisexual males are still usually expected to participate in reproduction and to sire at least one child before they leave the planet.

Sex and reproduction

Devaronians are a mammalian, terrestrial and bipedal sentient species comprised of two sexes, male and female. Traditional reproduction required penetration so the male's sperm could impregnate the female's ovum. (Modern means such as in-vitro or simply adoption, whether of Devaronian children or children from other species, were also common. Cloning is illegal on Devaron, in case some of ya’ll were thinking of having kids that way lmao)

Devaronians are not able to interbreed with most alien species, such as Humans and near-Human species. Among the few species that were compatible with Devaronian genes were the Cathar, the Bothan, the Farghul, and the Togruta. But even with these species, the chances of the pregnancy going full-term and of the baby to be healthy was minimal.

Reproduction was (obviously) essential to the survival of the species, hence why, as mentioned above, males were urged to sire children before they left the planet. Although some male Devaronians lived happily with their wives, or wanted to stay in contact with them and their children once they had left Devaron, it was more common for children to grow up without even knowing the identity of their father, or knowing barely anything about him besides their name. It was not regarded as negligence in Devaronian culture, and many females were often content with these arrangements, preferring to raise their children with other females instead.

Pregnancy lasted around eight months. Male children were born with soft horn buds that would start growing and hardening up a few weeks after birth, and would stop growing when they finish puberty (late teens to early twenties). Females did not have horns unless they developed some sort of hormonal condition (anomaly) in utero, but the majority of them still bore vestigial forehead "dots" in place of horns.

When it came to recreational sex with no intention of producing offsprings, many male Devaronians were known to have a very high sex drive, but rather low stamina in bed, and many relied on sulfur-based drugs to enhance their performance. Various means of contraception were used by Devaronians (as well as most other alien species in the galaxy), including but not limited to birth control pills or surgical birth control implants. 

Both male and female Devaronians were regarded as particularly skilled when it came to oral sex due to their naturally very long tongues.

A “traditional” sexual practice for males was to have their horns rubbed and otherwise played with. This very specific practice is called a hornjob (and has been observed in other alien species that have keratin-based horns) and is rarely understood or practiced by foreigners due to the bizarre (and entirely psychological, due to horns, well...not having any nerve endings, except at the base) nature of it, often seen as "unsexy".

Traditional bauty standards

Males

The most prominent physical trait of a male Devaronian is his horns. Males are terribly proud of their horns, and they regularly groom them and massage them with very specific types of oils and creams to keep them shiny and healthy-looking. Females find males with big, symmetrical horns very attractive, an unconscious preference that comes from how their ancestors used to choose their male partners when the species wasn't sentient (or barely sentient). Indeed, it is said that the bigger a male's horns are, the more virile he is (which isn't... actually proven by any scientifc studies, but rumors and male pride, all that jazz, y’know?). 

Aesthetic surgery for horns is very common, but not perfect, and the difference between natural horns and surgically modified/enhanced horns is usually obvious. Males also take care good care of their teeth as they know they represent an important trait that would suggest they are mindful of their appearance. It is a sign of healthiness and wealth to have white, perfectly pointy, symmetrical teeth. Again, this is a trait derived from when Devaronians were barely sentient and used their teeth to hunt live prey (as such, they had to keep their teeth in perfect condition or they would be regarded as useless among their tribe).

Females

"Hairy" females and "hairless" females were generally both regarded as attractive by males, though it largely depended on individual males' preferences. Some males considered "hairy" females to be more natural and more pure, while others considered "hairless" females to be the next step of the evolution and thus, a better choice for mating.

Hairy females with brown, auburn or dark fur were more rare. The most common fur colors for females were white, blonde and otherwise pale colors. Again, healthy, pointy, symmetrical teeth were also regarded as a symbol of wealth and healthiness in females as well as in males.

Both males and females with blue or green eyes were also considered especially  attractive due to these eye colors being very uncommon among Devaronians.
