Translations:Codex: Hyraxi/17/en

Paradoxically for such a sexually active race, actual mating (ie, vaginal penetration) is extremely rare, taking place only between mated pairs. Hyraxi mate for life, usually with a single partner though sometimes to two or three males or dual-souls to a female, and form extremely close familial bonds. While members of these bonds still may engage non-vaginal sex outside the family, reproductive intercourse is strictly confined for both male and female to their mates. Unlike outside the family, where females rule with all but unquestioned authority, members of all sexes share equal responsibility and authority.
