J. R. R. Tolkien on Sex, Morality & Marriage

[Mountaineer]

Timeless truth or a stodgy out-of-touch perspective?

From the vantage point of the 21st century, Tolkien will appear to many to be both out of step and out of tune with the sexual mores of our times. Tolkien would no doubt take this as a sincere, if unintended, compliment. He knew he was out of step, and he steadfastly refused to update his morality in order to pass the muster of the moderns.
