      So much of our real-world sexual behavior presupposes the fact that one’s physical form is difficult or impossible to change that it’s easy to forget that in a fantasy setting with transformation (or even just illusion) magic only personality would matter.

        That’s a refreshing optimistic take. My inner cynic says that wizards would just compete to see who could spellcraft up themselves the biggest schlong
