A Practical Guide to Not Seriously Fucking Up Magically, part 2 of ?: Sex and the Mage

Sex magic (magick, however you want to spell it) is seriously powerful.

First off, we're dealing with emotions and hormones. You better believe that those are going on when mages are fucking. Something like sex is guaranteed to make sure that a rather lot of power gets raised and is all around and in the bodies of those who are doing the fucking, and possibly innocent bystanders.



The Innocent Bystander



I was a somewhat unintentional witness to two mages getting it on one time. Two of my friends had just hooked up, and as we were all colleagues in addition to being friends, we had some fun bond things going on. My one colleague could feel my overactive energy from a good twenty miles away.

I happened to be in the living room while they were in the bedroom getting busy. I got to overhear probably more than I would have been hearing if things had been coming through via my ears alone. Noooo privacy. None. I could bloody near feel what was going on; I definitely got a shmackload of the resulting happybounce energy. Not only were they walking around for the next three days with that freshly-laid smirk on their faces, but I was too.

Confused the hell out of a couple people...

We are certainly lucky, in this instance, that no one had emotional/energetic overload happening. All three of us would have gotten zapped in one way or another.

Also, in multi-person working partnerships where some of the team members are romantically involved, and some are not, do remember to "include" the non-romantic team members in some of the hugs and energy, because if you do not include them, they will start to feel left out, and this will royally fuck up the partnership. (I was lucky in that my colleagues always made an effort to make sure that I still felt like part of the group, even though neither of them were getting it on with me.)



Holy Fucking Shit



I chanced to have sex with a very powerful, and very not-trained-yet, mage. Mindblowing orgasms were had.

He started getting tingling and numbness, starting in the face and working its way down through his body.

He freaked out.

Fortunately, I was able to grab onto him, and get him grounded out before something that I don't even want to think about happened. He'd gotten overcharged with something that looked the exact green/purple color you get when you stare at the sun and then look away and have that spot in the middle of your vision.

Sex is not safe, even if you're using a condom. Even if you're not actually having sex. He was still technically a virgin at this point.

After he'd gotten grounded out, he had an emotional collapse for no apparent reason. He broke down in sobs, and I held him for an hour, soothing him, before he finally calmed down enough to feel like seeing the outside world again.

...So. Yeah. When Anne McCaffrey mentioned in one of her books that Damia (partially-trained T1, paired with a lesser Talent) should have been shielding when she was fucking? She wasn't fucking kidding.
