"Why do you think so?"

"Humans have babies a lot more often than spirits."

"Do they like them more?"

"I don't know. But humans really like having sex, and it doesn't occur to most of them that they can just have kinds other than the one that results in babies."

"Which kind is it?"

"The kind where a man's penis goes into a woman's vagina."

"Okay. I will be careful in case elementals are like humans."

"That's probably a good idea. If you were a spirit you could just stop being corporeal for a bit right after before a baby has a chance to happen but you can't do that."

"I can't."

"Oh well. If you want to have sex with someone there's other stuff you can do."

"I don't know if I like it or not, so I should probably find out at some point, like with sleeping."

"That makes sense. Oh, in case it wasn't obvious, if you're going to have sex you should make sure it's not somewhere other people can see. Having sex somewhere random people are likely to find you is considered rude; people mostly don't like stumbling across sexual scenes they didn't ask for."

"Huh. Why?"

"I think mostly cultural baggage."

"Okay."

"...And if someone tries to have sex with you and you don't want to, don't be afraid to do anything you have to to make them stop."

Water blinks.

"People making you have sex with them when you don't want to is called rape and it's really unpleasant."

"Oh. What if I only sorta don't feel like it?"

"It can still be unpleasant, although often less so."

Nod.

"If you're lucky it won't come up."

"I don't know if I'm lucky."

"I don't think luck is a persistent trait a person has."

"Oh."
