Letters Never Sent

[vulgarweed]

Dear Tolkien Society,

I have combed all the Letters and HoME notes for this and have yet to find a definitive answer to this question; if it's in there and I missed it, please forgive me. During a sexual encounter, would the penis of the penetrator or fellatee disappear upon entering an orifice of someone wearing the One Ring? (Assuming this person is neither Sauron nor Tom Bombadil)

Sincerely,

V, who needs to know Because of Reasons, and when I tried to contact the Professor over the Ouija board, he hung up on me.

Dear Christopher Tolkien....

NOPE. You guys will have better answers anyway.




[Poll #1906920]



This is the kind of question that keeps me up at night. Perhaps I should look at my life choices.

*looks*

Yup, they're fine!

I don't think so because if you look at transparent sea creatures, for example, you can see food they've consumed passing through their digestive systems, right? (It's been a long time since that college marine biology class...) So an object inside an invisible person would continue to be visible.

Also, Rogering an Invisible Arse sounds like the title of a dissipated former glam rocker's autobiography. :D

True, but in Tolkienverse, we don't see, say, Bilbo's latest meal floating around in his stomach in mid-air. Clothes and things carried by the person become invisible as well when someone puts on the Ring.

I would totally read that autobiography. The title would call to me from the shelves. XD
