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!

Well, it's canon in The Hobbit that neither Elves nor Dwarves can see Bilbo when he's wearing it, so the effect definitely works in that direction - now, would a powerful Elf turn invisible while wearing it? I don't know - but I think it's implied that the fact that Bombadil doesn't is something very shocking and weird. Has any Elf or Dwarf ever even tried it on? Maybe not. That's an unknown factor, then.
