Elvish Reproduction - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Having been directed to this thread from the elves topic, I just wanted to add a couple of things. Yes, I think Elros and Elrond were twins. Twins run in human families, maybe they also do in elven ones.
Also, something I remember reading in UT. Referring to Aldarion and Erendis, it is mentioned that the Eldar refrained from having children if there was going to be a period of seperation between man and wife, and that the Numenorians also followed this custom.
So, did they exercise self control, or did they engage in un-Vatican practices?
