Physical relationship
The body relationship is a term from the field of student associations and describes the relationship between a body boy and a body fox .
A newly recorded into a compound fox can immediately or only after a few weeks or months an older boy , to whom he was particularly built up a lot of confidence, choose, his body Bursch (some compounds, abdominal father or beer father called) to be, so the fox simultaneously becomes the body fox (also body son or beer son ) of this fellow. In pure ladies' associations , other names (e.g. mother of wine ) are often used for the role of the personal boy . The Leibbursch takes on the role of a mentor, looks after and advises the Leibfuchsen in all connection matters and speaks for him in the convent . The special relationship between body fox and body boy - that is, the body relationship - persists beyond the time of the fox and is often the basis of a close lifelong friendship. Often after the fox has been accepted into the union, a tip exchange is carried out between the body boy and body fox.
If the body fox in turn becomes the body boy of a fox, the original body boy is colloquially called Leibopa (or Bieropa ) of the new fox, who is his body-thigh . Each fox has only one body boy, but one boy can have several body foxes. This creates so-called family families (or beer families ), which sometimes assume dynastic characteristics. Body foxes of the same body boy call one another conleib or body brother .
