Population Explosion in Valinor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I read your post a bit too fast, overpopulation I don't think is an issue among elves. Humans want to breed because we will die and to carry on our genes is important. For a being that is immortal I think there would be no inner urge to have sex at all. Actually I doubt elves got any pleasure out of sex at all. If sex was as nice as it is for us humans to the fictional elves there would be MANY more elves.

This is actually quite an interesting topic, since there is a possability that humans will find the key to unlock and reverse the aging mechanism. If we find out how to do this then we actually probably would have to castrate people to keep the populations in check. I don't think there is any pressures from the elven society to have sex or maybe it's not even comforting for an elf.

Elves do look very feminine so maybe the males haven't got as much testorone in them as humans do. Male elves tend to have long girly hair and actually look very female. So maybe they are like not sexually active or something....maybe bisexual or asexual?
