what happens if the means of exchange consist of --- ? bloodcells from an endangered species
how is this exchange organized?-- weekly transfusion "deposits"
what sorts of structures does it generate in society?-- society is always based on HAVES and HAVE NOTS. the haves enjoy local farms full of dodo birds and ring-tailed lemurs. the nots lap blood from the sewers.
what sorts of individuals does this society generate? -- high power genetic brokers who in deal black market cloned hemoglobins. desperate vampiric sloth-suckers. wealthy ostrich farmers.
I hope this helps.

that's the answer trifecta & it addresses all points.
would semen communism be possible? or capitalism even, since you can't hoard it? still, there might be a commodities market-- buying & selleling semen futures-- but buy & sell with what? semen?

prostate cults, athleticism, the semen olympics, etc.
so what's the role of women in this society?
