There is more to life than sex.

Let me repeat. There is more to life than sex.

There are hugs and smiles and horses and rainstorms and flowers and summer breezes and books and music and sunrises on the Eastfold and stars in the sky and laughter and tears and kittens and puppies and stories to hear and clothes to wear and a thousand different foods and...life to be lived with your clothes on.

What is so special about sex? Why does it get so much more attention than any of these other things? And why must people post so much about it? Go have sex, or pleasure yourself if you must. But talking about it constantly makes people sound desperate! It is just another thing that we can do with our bodies. But hugs are beautiful, too. Braiding someone's hair. Running. Swimming. Riding horses. All these things are wonderful too.

I just don't understand why every other thing I read is about sex.

I mean...shouldn't we be more concerned about the fact that this island has no leader, no one to turn to, no emergency services...than we are about who's sleeping with whom?

I think Éomer should lead here.

A good reason to speak of other things then. Did you have a pleasant day? What was it like outside?

I did. And it was warm.

Although I worry about this place.

I'm glad. I wish I could have gone out, I miss walking and running. Have you looked into different clothing yet?


Just stay away from the Spire. Other than that you'll have to trust your instincts and in whatever faith you believe.

You're from a different time when sex isn't thrown at you from every direction. Our society, meaning those of us from the modern age, grew up in an era of "sex sells". It's not as taboo in our time as it is in yours. Talking about it is just a part of life.

I'm not excusing anything. It should be kept private. But when you can walk down the street and see half naked women and men in their underwear almost everywhere you turn, it's hard to think of it as something private.

I think...you do not understand where I am from.

The Golden Hall of Meduseld is a great hall, just as it sounds. We all sleep on the floor, surrounded by all the other men and women there. I hear other people have sex all the time. People hear me have sex all the time. I am not ashamed of sex, it is not taboo. It is a natural part of life. It is a use of our bodies.

Perhaps in your sterile society, in which you seek to hide your bodies, change them, cover them with paints and scour all hair from them, sex has become taboo for you, and that is why you speak of it too much. For it is well known that it is those things that are taboo that are most sought after.

I think any one person trying to be in charge here is futile, we're from too many different times and places. A regular town meeting like they apparently used to have is a better idea in my opinion. If your husband wished to organize that I would support it.

It is the nature of the elves to lose interest in the sexual act. Sex is used to consummate marriage and bring about children..

But eventually we stop being interested altogether and occupy ourselves with other things. Like art, music, sculpting.

When you ain't never done something before and then you get a chance to do it and you really, really like it, you tend to want to talk about it. But I can't even say the word without blushing so I don't really talk about it. Well, except with my sister but that's different. And we're always in private.

I've not been here long enough to really see what you're speaking of for myself, but I agree. There are many more things to enjoy, even with the people one is...attracted to. And frankly, I'm not sure why talk of these matters should go beyond those...participating.

I agree. I am happily married and not an innocent in such things. My husband and I have a healthy marriage in all ways.

But we do not speak of it in public.

You know, again I see this complaint from you, and you know what, I haven't seen a whole lot of sex talk. Besides what I put up last night. And what took place in House's post.

I'd like to state right here, that not everyone's lives here are full of sunshine and rainbows. And Summer camp. I'm not about to start spouting poetry about woe is me and woe is my life either. But sex is the only little bit of happiness I have, when I get it.

In short everything else Sucks. I can't even t So you're not going to see me say anything about how wonderful anything is on this island.

And as far as leader goes? You can't lead what you don't know. And I'll be damned if I follow anybody that's forced on me.

My husband is not a tyrant, and he would not wish to lead anyone who did not want him. And who does know this place? Still, we need a leader, and someone who knows what they are doing. It is only a suggestion.

My life is not sunshine and rainbows either. All of us here have suffered in some way, and we should not start comparing scars. But I do not believe that sex is the only happiness that you have.

Of course there is more to life than sex, but there are some of us who don't tend to talk about our lives publicly and the people who do apparently want to speak of intercourse. Don't assume every single person here only cares about sex though when it isn't true. It's insulting to my intelligence.

By posting this message, you are only contributing to the mention of sex, Madame.

Besides, there are many of us who do not participate in the discussion of such matters, as you seem to insinuate. You should not judge all by the actions of others.

As for your suggestion that your husband should lead us, the answer is no. We are free people and that is how our community shall remain. If you husband wishes to contribute towards the formation of a system of government, I would suggest that he and you forsake the outdated and condemnable idea of monarchy and, instead, discuss plans for the future with the others of us on this island, including myself, Monsieur Tucker, Monsieur Barton, et al., who are concerned with politics and governance.
