WHAT IS VENUSVERSE?
THE BASICS
Whether you are familiar with omegaverse, need a quick refresher, or are completely new to the genre, this section provides basic information about Kat Sinclair’s version of it. In short: it is a non-shifter, grounded omegaverse universe.
Besides the omegaverse aspects, this is a world that lacks heteronormativity, transphobia, and other aspects of our world.

Homo Sapiens Venus (also known as the second gender or the venus sex) is a sub-species of humans believed to have evolved at some point in history as a result of an extremely unfavorable environment. They differ from regular people (Homo Sapiens Sapiens, or betas) by having a special organ called a Venus gland.

The Venus gland is a small gland at the back of individual’s neck, which facilitates the specific hormonal activity of producing and sensing pheromones.

Pheromones are chemicals that all animals (including humans) produce that changes the behavior of another animal of the same species. The effects of this are usually subconscious and barely noticeable, but thanks to the venus gland, the venus are not only more sensitive to each other’s pheromones but also produce a specific, strong type which sexually and emotionally attracts them together. Pheromones usually begin emitting shortly after the beginning of puberty, at 13-18 years old, followed by a steady increase in activity of the venus gland.

The specific scent pheromones give off seems to be unique to each individual, and also perceived slightly differently from person to person. Most common comparisons are drawn to the smell of flowers, sweets, nature, and other pleasurable scents. Alphas and omegas with especially lovely pheromones are often praised and are socially more successful, as well as sexually more sought-after.

Members of the venus sex are separated into alphas and omegas. Besides the aforementioned sensitivity to pheromones and the presence of the venus gland, alpha men and omega women are not too different from beta men and beta women. They possess a higher than average resilience to many diseases, have slightly longer lifespans, and more successful fertility rates. The most significant biological discrepancy is found in omega men, who can become pregnant, and alpha women, who have the ability to impregnate.

Alpha men possess a unique organ called bulbus glandis—a spherical area of erectile tissue at the base of the penis that engorges with blood while copulating. This is called knotting. The tissue usually only engages when an alpha is in rut or with an extreme sexual (and emotional) arousal. The omega sexes have evolved to generally find the experience pleasurable, but in sexual intercourse with a beta (male or female), it is often uncomfortable and can cause injuries.

 

Alpha women possess a retractable erectile issue, usually hidden within the body, which becomes engorged with blood when in rut. This causes the clitoris to function as a small penis, which can be used for penetration. Their knot is less developed than in alpha males, but present. The alpha women’s ovaries are also unique in a way which doubles them as testes through complex hormonal shifts and slightly different biology.

Omega men, as mentioned, have the capability of becoming pregnant. Just as the urethra opens into the vestibule near a vaginal opening in beta women, the rectum is a smaller opening in the omega male’s anus, which is self-lubricating, while the main opening (regular anus for beta men) leads into the omega male equivalent of a vagina and uterus, which sits between the prostate and rectum. This means that when a penis is inserted, it enters the reproductive route, and the usual anal sex path to the rectum only opens when defecating.

Omega men also possess an underdeveloped version of ovaries which connects to their prostate. Though pregnancy is common, babies are often born prematurely, at lower weight, and cesarean is needed in many cases.


The crucial aspect differentiating alphas and omegas from betas are their fertility rates. Among the pregnancies between alphas and omegas, miscarriage is statistically near non-existent no matter the gender, and fertility rates overall are also higher, especially for alpha female/omega male and alpha male/omega female couples.

This is mainly facilitated by highly fertile periods called rut for alphas and heat for omegas. These happen once every 2-4 months (depending on the individual) and last for 4-5 days. Similar to the reproductive cycle of ovulation in cis beta females, both stages are signaled by heightened hormonal activity of the venus gland. Pregnancy between alpha and omega is extremely likely at this time.

The typical symptoms are heightened sexual libido (which is the most intense symptom for 1-2 days in the middle of the cycle) and changes to the working of the frontal lobe, causing slightly impaired decision-making and emotional control. Less desirable side effects include heart palpitations, vertigo, increased body temperature, anxiety, or migraines.

Suppressants are drugs which alleviate most symptoms of rut or heat or to stop it altogether. They can also be used to make pheromones less noticeable. There is still a lack of research when it comes to them. They can be expensive and don’t work well for every individual, leading to possible undesirable side effects.

There’s a broad disagreement about the social and psychological implications of being an alpha or omega. Many alphas are observed to be more assertive, hot-headed, charismatic and have somewhat higher chances of psychopathy, while omegas are believed to often be empathetic, caring and submissive, with some inclination for anxiety disorders. This is overall seen as outdated stereotyping and not scientifically proven, but exists in society as any other gender norms and expectations.

The most prevalent but increasingly less popular religious belief surrounding the venus is The Church of Divine Dualis Sovereign (commonly abbreviated as DDS). Members of this church, which is considered a cult by many betas and venusfolk alike, are called dualists, and believe in the existence of dual gods, female alpha Alis, and male omega Dual, who hail the Homo Sapiens Venus as the evolutionary and spiritual solution to the future of the human race. The commonly held notion is that the venus have been introduced by the gods to cleanse humanity, and their existence is the ultimate form of life. Betas are considered imperfect and corrupt and are not to mix with the Children of the Dualis. Members of the DDS also believe in fated mates (comparable to soulmates), a godly connection between an alpha and omega only that is undeniable and sacred, reflecting the bond between Alis and Dual, and leading to the deepest, most complete form of love. For the members of the religion, finding a fated mate is a blessing and a guarantee to ascending after death.

While the large majority of dualists simply acknowledge the extraordinary nature of the venus and their different lived experience, a small, highly orthodox branch of the religion, the Children of Dualis, has strict rules for any and all contact with betas, going as far as only using products made by venusfolk, living in their own pockets of society separated from betas, and believing that humanity will not ascend until they are bred out. Some of the more primal and generally societally unfavorable impulses are often encouraged, like possessiveness of alphas toward omegas, and using protection when in heat or rut or abstaining from following one’s breeding instincts at this time is considered sacrilegious.

The venus sexes make about 35% of the population, more or less common in various areas of the world.
