The practice of anasyrma (harakointi or pyllyttäminen in Finnish depending on context) was quite widespread in Finnish folk magic. Meaning ritual exposition of ones genitals for magical/supernatural effect, in Finnish context the magically potent female one. Currently there is one spell featuring it, one that buffs pawboards by having women walk over them. However while a female PC can get her pawboards buffed by other woman she is unable to do it herself. This should change, for instance there could be seperate female specific version of the ritual (gender specific rituals would be cool in general now that I think of it).

I've actullay got a few future ideas regarding this in my neverending to-do list. Those are quest related ideas, though, and allowing the special only female capable magic means on their own is a good idea. I'll add it to the (neverending) to-do list.

If females are to get a magic buff, should they also get nerfs to height, weight, strength and
intelligence speed?
Almost messed up there, but I think I got away with it. Shhhh! :-X

Begs the question if the characters we roll even represent avarages? In old Finnish regional stereotypes hämäläiset (i.e. Koivulaiset) are big, strong and enduring and not very quick (especially of the head), while eastern Finns are slight and quick (especially of the mouth). Yet here the Koivulais characters we roll are pretty average while Reemiläis and Kaumolais characters we roll and big and strong. Maybe it's just that the Kaumo we are rolling happens to be specifically big and strong rather than them all being like that?
In any case, the forest maiden quest and spell could be an example of male exclusive spell.
