Besides, Tolkien frowns on it, that I can gaurantee...unless of course anyone has any evidence to the contrary, in which case I don't gaurantee... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

There is a difference between corruption and experience (read Blake). Really, who knows what Tolkien did and didn't frown upon? You can't draw any solid conclusions simply from the fact that he was Catholic, as in, "Tolkien thought premarital sex was bad because he was a practicing Catholic."
I belong to the Russian Orthodox church, and consider myself to be religious, yet if I was Luthien, I doubt I would limit myself to the picking of daisies if Beren was at my side. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
