Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I don't understand what the author means at all.

Okay.

I was more likely referring to a state of mind.

But on the other hand... I've heard something about hormonal levels being related to it, so it might not just be a state of mind.

Regarding aristocratic appearance, I think it's primarily pale, fair skin, small, slender fingers, thinness,
a slender, long neck, manners, and clothing. Of course, genealogy plays a role.
