    Galadriel and Celeborn were married in the First Age and the story takes place at the end of the Third, so they were married for at least six and a half thousand years. During that time, they had one child. How often do you think they had sex?

      To be fair, his name is Celeborn. Can’t blame him for being celibate.

        No, I blame Tolkien and his literally making elves only bang for the purpose of procreation because he’s a repressed Catholic weirdo sometimes.

        Jokes on him, modern society has agreed elves are hos.

        AkShUaLlY…. It’s pronounced “Kel-a-born”….but I still applaud your humor!

        Most, if not all c’s are pronounced as hard K’s in Elvish (Elven?) languages.

        It does get a little weird with places like Cirith Ungol, but there are, allegedly, older maps where it’s spelled Kirith.

      Once.

      But elf sex is crazy weird. Like, they were still doing it while Frodo and the Fellowship were there.

      Dude it’s elves who knows. She also slowes the passage of time by like MONTHS for a day, on top of being immortal it’s pretty obnoxious. Maybe they only plow once a 1000 years, or maybe it’s every day and they are only fertile once in thousands of years.
