"Because you are describing something that is on my own terms somewhat odd and unexpected and I am trying to figure out which existing concepts it maps onto.  In dath ilan, we have systems of revocable delegation that people can use to aggregate into much larger political factions in a way that remains legible at every level of organization.  Among its other uses, this permits Civilization to annually form a Masculine Faction and Feminine Faction to negotiate with each other about what common masculine and feminine behaviors should be, not one standard for everyone, but pieces you can make your own behavior out of and have them be quickly describable to others and mesh well with other standard behaviors.  Like, grandmothers are one subkind of women and grandfathers are one subkind of men, that sort of thing.  This requires real Lawfulness and therefore shouldn't be able to exist in Golarion, and therefore all of your notions of what grandmothers and grandfathers should be like, must come from somewhere else -"

"I'm probably digressing here, my point is, you're describing something weird enough that I'm trying to fall back to basics and make sure of my foundations.  You are describing a system in which somebody, usually a man, does something with a second person, usually a woman, that falls into a standard pattern that they both understand, and which some third party therefore also understands."

"That system of meshing behavior patterns is that the party of the second part -" Taldane please, you can't use that many syllables for that, your contracts would be infinity pages long.

"That meshing-pattern system is that Two tells One that One can do whatever One wants with Two.  After which One rents out some of Two's time to Three, but it's not that Two is anything like a rentable resource that One rents into a market for Twos, it's that One and Two and Three all think that's hot.  And maybe also Two likes to receive footrubs and Three likes to give footrubs and One does not like to give footrubs, and usually you'd just solve this problem by Two and Three forming a secondary or tertiary relationship," like normal sane people do when monogamy isn't working for someone, "but if Two gave themselves fully to One, then One is supposed to decide who Two sleeps with, so One being able to demand money for that from Three, is a symbol of how One still has it and hasn't given any of it back to Two to use, or Three paying One is symbolic of how much Three isn't not taking away some of what Two gave One, Three is paying One for it.  Is that about right?"
