In the last class, Corey was uncertain, and thought there was no evidence on either side of this question.
I offer this, from chapter V of ‘The Nature of Middle-earth’: “Their hroar were in great vigour, and dominant; and the delights of the body of all kinds were their chief concern.”
I consider this suggestive that Elvish couples did indeed delight in sex outside of procreation.
However, this is in the 1959 material, which JRRT seemed to be discarding later, so, who knows?
Can anyone else find any evidence on this subject?
