Well, with the added context that the bond could very well change everything, most of this just essentially became flavor text for the world lore. Oh well. Jemini (talk) 08:56, 21 April 2020 (CEST)
I'm actually thinking, much like the whole deal with the female sex drive calming down once she's bonded being a secret mechanic among bunnykin, another one is that the bond allows the bonded male to have some completely subconscious control over the age of puberty of their underage bonded mate. Basically, if he doesn't want her to get pregnant, she won't enter precocious puberty as a result of semen exposure and also won't even enter normal puberty at age 8 either and it can be delayed indefinitely, although she won't grow past age 12 if it keeps getting delayed and the concern the male feels when she's not growing as fast as she could usually overwhelms his desire for her not to get pregnant at that point and she finally enters delayed puberty. It would theoretically be possible to delay puberty longer, but it almost never happens unless the male has an unbalanced sense of priorities.
Conversely, if the male actually wants her to get pregnant, she will enter the process of precocious puberty the moment the bond forms without a bit of semen exposure. It will still take some time until her body is ready, but if the desire to get her pregnant is REALLY strong then she can ovulate her first egg within 2 weeks while the rest of her body is catching up.

Interesting concept, I like part of it. The fact that the Bonded male can effect the precocious puberty. I'm not sold on the delayed puberty, the bond isn't "that" strong. I also feel that in the case of wanting to start the precocious puberty, the male should still initiate vaginal sex to start it, it just starts as soon as penetration occured. --Telgar (talk) 18:26, 21 April 2020 (CEST)
