Yes, they are called "enthusiatic lovers", but that can easily imply they just enjoy sex a lot. A rapist can also be quite enthusiastic. "...they call the captured man husband" no, the article calls him husband. And that's pretty much the standard definition for a man who has regular sex with a certain Mamono. Also, I'd like to point out that not every Mamono treats her "husband" with much love. Or even express their love in conventional means.

The article may not literally say they have sex 24/7, but let's read between the lines. "Extremely enthusiastic lovers", "unable to escape the dryad’s endless passionate love",  "When a dryad has sex with a captured man, however, the tree produces an extremely nutritious sap that is the staple food for married dryads and their husbands". Now, I admit it probably isn't literally 24/7, but the article does imply they do it all the time they can. I mean, what's a Dryad supposed to do otherwise? As opposed to a lot of other mamono, she can't move from her tree, and doesn't need to hunt for her food, which by the way is recieved by having sex with her "husband". And that still doesn't ignore the fact that their "husbands" are still trapped, immobilized for the rest of their lives.

Yes, her bio may not literally say that either. But let's think about this: It's pretty clear by now that Mamono are actually by nature quite selfish. They want Spirit Energy from men and do not accept no for an answer (with a few exeptions). The fact that they don't respect a human male's choice, can imply that they don't see them as true equals, not matter how much some may genuinly love their Husbands. Now look at the Dryad. She doesn't just choose a husband to love and get Spirit Energy from. They trap him. Permanently immobilize him. They take away everything resembling a life from that may. They take away his ability to ever make another choice again. You don't do that if you actually respect someone as being an actual person. Either that, or you're a psycho.

But let's just stop our argument. It's making this place look a lot darker, and I don't feel we'll be able to agree on this soon. I don't want to clutter this page any more than necessary, and I don't want to ruin the fun of other people here. Or mine for that matter, as my own arguments are starting to make me depressed.
