[Split] RJ's love of random, naked women

[Ishmael Moridin 0]

Ajit - Oh yes, was that the part where the Maiden, Rand, Mo, and Lan were there?

Yep ... when there were some bloodhounds sent to kill him.

 

See, this only proves there were nekkid men in the books too, and young ones at that

[Tosh 8]

No, seriously, there does come a part in the series when I thought there's a lot of nekkid women around, and a few hairy chested men. What does that make RJ?!

The producer of a seventies porno movie?

 

In RJ's defense though, a woman without anything covering her breasts is a bit more noticable than a man in the same position. And RJ was never much for writing about mundane happenings of background characters.

But the women... they seem to only look at the men's calves! That's... o.O That's not interesting. Though calves were "in" in the 17th century of course. : /

Don't forget shoulders

 

Oh and there was that one weird scene where Cadsuane makes mention of Rand's hairless ass - and she makes it sound like the lack of hair is a bad thing.

 

 

(OT: Looks like we've managed to get so off topic that this thread had to be split twice? )

o.O Really? When/where was that? Thankfully, I seem to have missed it

[Kaitlin 22]

I think it still relates to naked women - in discussing the smaller amount of naked men that is!

 

There have been a lot of bare chested men too, but RJ pays a lot more attention to the women!

 

I don't know if it's just me but it seems like Moiraine was mentioned being naked or was naked more than any other main character. Er... or is that my perviness?

 

Rand was mostly unclothed a lot of times during attacks at night. Remember when he was sweating all over, covered in feathers, and in just his underwear after that bubble of evil?

[Brynefan 2]

But men in their underwear aren't ashamed of it. I remember Egeanin's breakdown in TSR when Thom Juilin and, most important, Domon happened to see the women in their shifts.

She was one of the most important characters in the series upto the book 5, so there was more chance of her being mentioned naked once or twice .....

Hmm, I think it was ACoS. After he's been slashed by Fain he wakes up surrounded by Min and a bunch of Aes Sedai, including Cadsuane. They basically threaten him and tell him he needs to rest but he tricks them and goes after Sammael and captures Illian.

Who hasn't seen her nakie though? Maybe Faile? I get what you mean.

 

Even the other girls didn't understand why Egeanin was so stressed about it. Yea, the women do seem more embarrassed. RJ seemed to like putting women in situations where they'll blush.

[Ekho 52]

. RJ seemed to like putting women in situations where they'll blush.

 

 

I don't think thats specific to women though, Mat, Rand and Perrin all seemed easily embarrassed, especially in the first few books

[Olivia 26]

Aye, especially the unisex baths in Shienar and the Aiel sweat tents. Although maybe that was just another pervy way for men to see women naked.

[Kaitlin 22]

This is what I'm thinking too.

 

He does like to show males being embarrassed too, but they usually aren't naked or exposing themselves in quite the same way. Rand was naked in his sex-pond dreams, but the focus was on the girls.

 

ot: Ew, I sort of feel sorry for whoever had to sleep next to him during those nights.

[Asmodean82 0]

OOOooo Naked time. It seems to me as the story progresses nudity becomes a bit more common place for RJ. Who got naked first? Was it Nynaeve when she tested for Accepted???

[jan 14]

Sex pond dreams? Have I been reading different books?!
