 As is, perhaps, inevitable between species so closely related and physically alike, sexual contact is not unknown, if also not common nor encouraged. It occurs most often in the takma river towns (at least, those from which the xtauh are not banned), although sadly many such instances are not voluntary; many of those that are are essentially on the level of prostitution, trading sex for some form of payment. While entirely free and loving relationships probably exist, they are usually either hidden well or prone to being forcibly ended by outraged observers. As is, perhaps, inevitable between species so closely related and physically alike, sexual contact is not unknown, if also not common nor encouraged.

 In all cases, liaisons are more common between a female takma and a male xtauh, partly because of a tendency toward dominating female behavior in both species but mostly because of the difficulties of size; males are also the smaller sex in both species. A smaller male, takma or xtauh, seems more natural; whereas a female xtauh engaging with a male takma, on the other hand, are more likely to find themselves uncomfortable in a reversal of sizes (though, considering the individuality of sexual preferences, this is not to be taken as an absolute rule). Although it is usually not a formal consideration, the possibility of offspring also argues in favor of the more likely pairing; a cross-species gestation for the larger takma female is likely to be much easier than for the smaller xtauh one. In all cases, liaisons are more common between a female takma and a male xtauh, partly because of a tendency toward dominating female behavior in both species but mostly because of the difficulties of size; males are also the smaller sex in both species.

-That said, while sex is certainly known (however disdained), successful reproduction is less so. Takmar possess a possible scale type that is entirely missing in the xtauh, and which is a dominant genetic trait in the former species; therefore, unions involving a takma with [[takma:scales_and_coloration#spongiform|spongiform scales]] will generally not result in living offspring, or else offspring that will have a lower life expectancy due to scale afflictions. Takmar with [[takma:scales_and_coloration#massive|massive]] or [[takma:scales_and_coloration#stratified|stratified]] scales, by contrast, are more likely to successfully produce living hybrid children, albeit at a discouraging rate - no more than 75% hatch from the egg, and often another half of those are either not themselves fertile or die from various health conditions before puberty. The ones who are both healthy and fertile frequently have impaired or absent hearing, due to differences in antenna structure between the species.+That said, while sex is certainly known (however disdained), successful reproduction is less so.
