Letters Never Sent
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'm leaning towards the notion that anything picked up and carried by the Ringwearer disappears also, although that doesn't mesh with the scene in The Hobbit where the spiders could see Bilbo's sword.
Therefore I'm leaning towards cocks not vanishing, as it would still be in the possession of its owner (one hopes). Indistinct and a little blurry would be nicely weird without being too horrifying.

I think that the scene with the spiders seeing Bilbo's sword was just an inconsistency, either in writing or in the Ring's powers for various reasons given above - I laughed at athena799's comment about what the Ring had experienced under Gollum's ownership. I quite like the ownership theory too; it makes more sense and is less horrifying than penis cross-sections. ... but what happens in D/s scenarios then? Would be it be even more indistinct and hard to see clearly, at the least?
