Now this is a frightening thought. Thank you, but now I'll have nightmares
for a week about a troll Pamela Anderson..."No, please, just let me die, no
mouth-to-mouth!!"

Human/elf: oh yeah...

Dwarf: maybe. Would have to be more like a petite human than a short &
stocky human, so it would depend.

Ork/troll: not bloody likely. Got a major thing against tusks and warts
and dermal deposits and horns...

Not from what I recall. I mean, why would dwarf women have beards, other
than that's what Tolkien said? Dwarf women might have an increased
likelyhood of having extra facial hair, but that's a rare genetic condition
that strikes humans now.

At least in my game they don't need to shave their faces every morning.
