Heey!!

I was wondering... does anybody know the way elfs are born??

a friend told me elfs don't usually make their kinds .. uhhm the way humans do... ... but if that's true...
how on Middle-Earth will Aragorn and Arwen Undomiel ever get birth of a sun?!?!?!

Is this really appropriate? I just dont know but we have to trust that they know how to do whatever they do to make kids. Its not that big of a deal.

isnt it just the normal way

Uhm... I think they do make their kinds like humans do I don't think they have many children... mostly 2 or 3... but that doesn't mean that they can't have sex or something... they just decide when they want to have children... and I think it's only in times of peace, that's why in the third age you wont see many little elves running around... Oh and they NEVER have sex before marriage ...
....AND they never get tired
Poor Aragorn LOL

..anyway... why shouldn't I ask?? Tolkien's stories are incredibly complicated, which means he must have though about something essential as 'crossing different species' .

hahaha.. maybe your right...

sry if i seemed mean before, was in a bad mood. Anyway, notice that yournew, welcome to the boards. Geeze i seem like a party pooper now. Sry again

It's just the normal way. In the beginning elven babies are like mortal ones, only later they dont age as fast.
About marriages among elves and stuff... there is an essay about that in the History of Middle-earth... concerning marriage customs among the elves

Beren and Luthien were compatible. Elves and men are the same thing, but men are more independent at the cost of a brief life span.

lol, they do it the same way humans do.

feeling kinda silly here .... didn't read the History of Middle-earth .. and not going to believe friends telling me fairytails anymore ... but tnx everyone

You're kidding right?......................

nope.. why?

i' m sorry, this thread is great, it reminds me of gimli, it's true you don't see many dwarf women... how do dwarves have babies?!?! maybe i'll start my dwarf thread

I thought the answer to the dwarf reproduction problem was rather stomach turning

eep!

Well what is it

actually, the elves r like tha angels in dogma. they is like barbie and ken. ure right,, about aragorn, lol, itll suck for him wedding night.

you mean no *ahem* on wedding night!

sory if i sound juvanile but you have to admit that would be pretty bad...

LOL, that's not true, they're not like Barbie and Ken , they're like humans, but the only difference is that they never get tired, so... I'll have to agree saying... 'poor aragorn'

Here is a rather interesting link about how the Elves' sex life is. There are some interesting quotes about the subject from Tolkien himself. http://www.ansereg.com/what_tolkien_officially_said_abo.htm

rianna d no need to say poor aragorn. he looks like a manly man so hell get his biz done and then turn round and fall asleep lol.

Why not just ask Legolas and find out?!?!?? HA HA HA Just kidding.

But I don't think he has any experience yet.

How do you know? I'm his wife.

uh.....I never really thought about an elf's sex life, and there are different types of elves according to ancient folklore. so I suppose it all depends on the type of elf. but since Arwen and Legolas etc are kind of human like I'm sure they would do it it the human way. but ya kind of wonder how dooby form hp would reproduce because he is more elf like then Arwen,or at least thats what I think.

Yes, indeed. They arent like Hobbits who often have as many as 11 CHILDREN! *Points to Sam and Rosie* (maybe it was 12, w/e)

Sam used a Hobbit-version of Viagra

LMAO!

11 kids ain't normal

Yeah. Thats true. Sam must have been so weary on that trip to Mordor he just never wanted to stop going at it!

Why was this bumped?

Sombody was looking for dirty things in the searcg bar

Ok so who here, in all honesty, has read the tolkien adult fanfic?

I think elves are mammals...

Maybe they do it telepathicaly....

With a title like "How elfs make lOvE", one would think that it was a guide to doing so, since it isn't a complete thought.

Anyway, Elves having sexual intercourse is different than Elves bearing children.

Though if Elves are immortal...what would be the point of rushing to have kids ???

To teach them. You need sombody to look after the world when the next age brings along the next dark lord

ya sure?
