Much like horses, it seems centaurs only sleep lying down for REM sleep, which they need very little of.A Centaur's ears are capable of reflecting the centaur's mood as they are able to move much in the same way as a horse's ears.It is probable that the centaurides also have mammary glands in their equine part, although this is not confirmed.Legends do exist where penetration and impregnation between centaurs and human females have happened. It is unknown whether a human/humanoid female can safely have intercourse with and become impregnated by a centaur, however, as the size of a typical equine penis of adult size is thought to typically exceed the internal capacity of the human vagina (although due to the human vagina's degree of elasticity, it may be possible to achieve penetration and intercourse after a certain amount of preparation has been applied beforehand). As such a centauride can easily engage in pleasurable intercourse with a human/humanoid and become impregnated by their human partners with no biological deficiencies in the offspring. While the variance of genitalia can presumably make cross-racial intercourse difficult, the equine vulva and vagina are the same in form and function as a human/humanoid's when compared side-by-side (with the same areas of pleasure receptors as a human and a larger clitoris that enlarges further during arousal and intercourse), with the only exception being that an equine's cervical area within the vagina can optionally extend itself back at further lengths than a human/humanoid's vagina to accommodate for the size of an equine penis. While possessing mammary glands like humans, centaurs and centaurides possess equine genitalia, located on their animal half.Centaurs have a standard body temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, like horses.humans), while omnivores have over twenty times as many taste buds as carnivores (e.g. As herbivores, centaurs generally have twice as many taste buds as omnivores (e.g.
By duelling her mother, an undefeated champion jouster of the strongest lineage to a standstill, Centorea unknowingly proved that not being full centaur would not dilute the races' strength as a whole. Centorea's mother in particular set out to prove this by duelling her own daughter, because Centorea is actually half human. For them, a position in opposite to this would require hard evidence to prove otherwise. However, even these women may become forced to at least join a harem so that their familial line may continue.Īpparently, modern centaurs have stuck with breeding with their own kind in the traditional belief that doing so will keep their race strong, in opposed to mating with other species (humans in particular). However, not all Centaur women wish to engage in this form of relationship either and instead simply claim disinterest in reproduction embarking instead in search of a "noble lord" to "serve" as their ancestors once did long ago. The Centaur men do not seem to notice or care that their harem wives are taking on these 'Teasers/Lovers'. From there, upon the exchange student's arrival, the women would engage them in a courtship that would ideally lead to them becoming their 'Teaser'.
While perusing the applicants, the Centaur women would give preference to the applications of the men they find visually pleasing. These 'Teasers' are chosen from a stock of cultural exchange student applications. In order to overcome this problem, at least one generation ago centaurs started using 'Teaser Males' to aid in reproduction where, during intercourse, the female would be sexually teased, or enticed, by a male that she desires as a mate, then the male Centaur mounts her when she is sufficiently aroused. While Centaur males developed into being muscular, vulgar, violent beasts who only saw raw strength as valuable, Centaur females favoured technique and became refined, though prideful, warriors.Ī polygamous marital culture, in order to continue their warrior culture, Centaurs mated with only the strongest of their race to ensure strength in the next generation, however, as the Centaur males became more crass with minds only for building their strength, Centaur women began disliking the notion of "relations" with their male counterparts and turned to looking for more visually palatable men, such as humans, and this change in taste began to cause the centaur birth rate to dwindle. For centuries, Centaurs were a violent, militaristic race that lived around the art of combat.
