This is going to be a very short post, merely because I want to point you to another location to read a rather interesting essay by Tyellas I came upon following my last missive - What Tolkien Officially Said About Elf Sex. Also check out his more schollarly work Warm Beds Are Good: Sex and Libido in Tolkien's Writing also in PDF format.

One thing that he points out about Elven sexuallity is something I have said for a long time - that long, luscious, flowing hair radiates an indescribably beautiful sensuality that every woman should strive for. Granted, not every woman has the shiny, healthy hair for it, but many do. I just can't figure out why so many women want to have a short mens cut. I mean comemon! Even feminists and lesbians ought to be behind this one screaming their support. I mean in the case of feminism, isn't the whole point to honor and glorify women? If so, what's wrong with looking like a woman? And lesbians - isn't the whole point that you like WOMEN? If so, why would you want a woman that looks like a man?

Sorry I got on that bender there, but it had to be said! Getting back to the original topic, read more about Elf sex and Tolkien's magnificent fantasy world at Amazon.com.
