    That’s certainly… one interpretation of the bene gesserit, they aren’t the Companions from Firefly

      I was thinking of the Honored Matres of the scattering, whom the bene gesserit despise largely because they rely on sexual manipulation rather than other forms of control and influence.

      I probably should have specified that much of that is later in the series and not in the first book.

      And that isn’t a description of the companions from firefly either? They were high society and sex was only a small part of what they did. But more importantly…they really didn’t do anything to override anyones free will?

      Unless you mean yosafbridge? She had training but wasn’t really a companion
