"From Keltham's perspective, Golarion is even more improbable on that level.  Keltham has innate sexually sadistic tendencies; his Lawful Good world tried to make sure he never found out about that because dath ilan has no masochists.  He thinks it's not a kind of thing that - that heritage-selection would produce naturally - that people who want to be hurt, who enjoy pain, who want to be taken and forced into submission, would end up in dangerous life situations having fewer children."

"You could counter-argue, and I think Sevar has, that tendencies like that could actually help people survive, if they ended up in situations very common in Golarion.  Dath ilan, maybe, has fewer of those situations.  Or maybe Keltham is right, and the gods intervened to make masochism be a thing in Golarion."

"The point is that from Keltham's perspective, he ended up in a world where sexual desires of his that had no counterpart in dath ilan, where you would not expect a counterpart to exist in most reasonable parts of reality, could find fulfillment here.  The masochists he ran into are wizards, meaning he can try harder to hurt them without damaging them too much.  Keltham has healing powers he can use on his masochists afterwards.  These are all things that dath ilan doesn't have, that they think ought to be impossible, that they wouldn't expect to find in a random world.  All of them make life much more convenient for somebody with Keltham's sexuality."

"And even if Keltham is wrong about Golarion having been selected for that - even if most worlds out there are just like that, and dath ilan is the weird one out for having no healing magic and no masochists - there remains the implausibly good match with Sevar in particular."

"You might speculate, then, you might infer - though it is not of itself an observation, as Keltham teaches to distinguish - that whatever landed Keltham here was, possibly, trying to trying to set him up with a romance."
