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.

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!

So my question is, if the penis does become invisible, what does the end look like during this process? I feel like the end of the cock-stump would be most likely to look like the cross section taken at whatever point along the shaft that crosses the entrance to the, ahem, sphere of the Ring's influence, which just seems wrong.

... I hadn't even considered that but GOOD GODS, this is beginning to sound like a horror movie. D:

Yeah, that's how partial invisibility usually works out. Disgusting, yet scientifically interesting!

[vulgarweed.livejournal.com]

That's...utterly terrifying.

...you're welcome? I started thinking about it, and then... kept thinking about it. I'm certainly looking forward to reading whatever fic comes out of it.
