| Crossbread is a delicious fruitcake sort of thing that seems to mysteriously appear around Easter. Klingon cross bread might be something very different. |

No wonder it didn't trip-up the spell-checker. 
But upon reading that, I contemplated a Klingon cross-dresser, and then mentally pictured Worf in drag.
Definitely NOT a pretty sight.  |

This thread is still around? Nice! 
In one of my games, there is a sexy shadar-kai pirate queen who has a physical relationship with her repulsive hobgoblin first mate. The other characters think it's a little disturbing, but it scratches a particular itch.
Looks aren't everything. In many cases, they aren't ANYTHING.

B'etor was a female Klingon.

Ah, BEAST, you mean B'elanna Torres. B'etor is a planet on DS9. And B'elanna was only half Klingon herself, thus proving that her human father, at least, thought Klingon women were attractive.
What's wrong with house Duras? And I've only seen a couple of Klingon chicks with scary teeth. B'elanna's mother didn't look half bad in the one episode she was seen. Pretty, even. |

| Once you've gotten enough practice arming photon torpedoes and studying their specifications you aren't as easily impressed by the weaponry of those klingon ladies. Their hideous lack of oral hygiene is just too repellant. Doesn't matter if they're halfling klingons or not. |

| Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, but also in the eye of the artist. Males and females of all species are well aware of the best methods to present themselves to potential partners in the most flattering manner. The strategy of these klingon gals obviously involved emphasizing their remarkable photon torpedoes to draw attention away from their less attractive attributes. Few of us (and few klingons) are perfect, so successful seduction often involves a little carefully applied illusion. No doubt halflings manage to somehow present themselves the way (they think) potential partners prefer to see them, even if they perceive the desired partner is attracted to qualities which make them appear childlike and helpless. |

| Too true. I've even used my own torpedoes on occasion to attract attention. It worked- maybe TOO well..... Caused the fellow in question to loose a chess match. But then, I WAS wearing a very short, tight top with a zipper down the front, and the torpedoes were right at his eye-level, and about six inches away from his face while I sat on the arm of the chair to watch the match, lol!!! (I was not intentionally trying to make him loose, but the thought of being that much a distraction was sort of flattering!) Usually, I prefer a guy to be more interested in what's in my cranium than in my torpedo bay, however. |

I've personally been pondering the sexuality of a PC turned NPC of mine... He's a minotaur, and he certainly likes female minotaurs. I'm just trying to decide if he's into non-minotaurs or not...
Would a minotaur, raised in a land of minotaurs (he's not from the Realms, but later wound up there), find a human or elf woman physically attractive? They don't have furry bodies, and their heads look almost entirely different... It's not like with humans/halflings/elves or whatnot, when the basic design is the same...
What do y'all think? |

| Well, some of the DRAGONLANCE minotaurs found the human cleric, Mina, to be quite attractive. Granted, they were part of her army, and her martial standing probably contributed to that sense of attractiveness among the minotaurs [an important point to consider, I suppose], but there was some degree of physical attraction as well. |

I don't care how hot her body is, I ain't going near Blibdoolpoolp!
If something's head is very different then the norm (for your race), I just don't see it. A minotaur might find a rubenesque woman's body intriguing, but how he could get past the face (because humans would appear ugly to him) is beyond me.
Then again, one could always blow the candle out.
Regardless, Blibdoolpoolp is still out of the question! I've already been circumcised, thank you very much.  |

I think inter-species romance between creatures of vastly different builds is possible, but probably rare based on the laws of attraction. If a minotaur is into a human, that's the exception, rather than the rule, and probably has a lot to do with the human's prowess (as with Mina, which Sage brought up) or distinct powers of charm and enthrallment that operate on the creature (beauty charms the savage beast, etc). It also helps when the minotaur isn't raised among other minotaurs or used to be human and is now cursed--nature is important, but nurture can have a major effect.

| Well, I don't approve of all this racial crossing over intermingly and making babies etc. Just my personal opinion. Mycharacters membody this idea collectively though, as Alystra can attest too ;) |

I think there's probably a religious component to consider as well.
Like the Mina example I offered above. I don't think her minotaur army would've had such love for her, if she had not also been held in such high esteem by the One God [Takhasis].
That overall place in their faith, I think, raised her lowly "human" to divine champion. Which is certainly an aspect of her person that the faithful minotaurs of the One God, could appreciate. |
