In PoD he was obsessed with fighting and vomit. In ACoS he explored
the male rape fantasy (i.e. a male getting raped by a beautiful
woman). In LoC he focussed on lesbianism (Aran'gar is a man trapped
in a woman's body, the Amyrlin raising ceremony reads like a
Bacchanalian orgy). I'd say that RJ is writing like a sexually
frustrated 13 year old beta male. Could it be that RJ has died and his
pubescent son has taken over his mantle?

This has already been discussed a few weeks ago, i think... But I agree
with you. And i also don't care.
To my mind, that kind of obsession can't be considered as harmful...

Just because all the women in the room took off their blouses to show that
they were actually women????
Son, you obviously ain't never _seen_ a Bacchanalian orgy!!!! The Amyrlin
raising ceremony is to a Bacchanalian orgy what CBS is to The Playboy
Channel.

Unlikely - were that the case, books would get written more quickly, and
more plot would happen.

No doubt you seen his similar obsession with necklines, sweating, cold
imperious stares...and is there any such thing as an Ugly Aes Sedai?

This reminds me of the typical programmatic interpretation of Beethoven's
Seventh Symphony as a country wedding:
Movement I: Guests arrive, some dancing
Movement II: Solemn processional and ceremony
Movement III: Country dance following ceremony
Movement IV: Bacchanalian orgy
Apparently I've been going to the wrong weddings!

Even the worst must be nicely plump.
Most of the women are pretty, still.

I found a link of a message board recently to a study that showed that
men who looked at breasts regularly lived longer and were generally
healther than those who don't :

They develop a higher tolerance for pain.

Actually, Robert Jordan mentions breasts so often in the books because I
payed him to.
I like breasts, I especially like Nynaeve's breasts.... I am sure Lan
likes them almost as much as I do... Err...
No. I never said any of that, really.
Sorry, I felt the need to share a bad joke. Usenet does that to me from
time to time.

Nah.... he's been doing it in every single one of the books (although
he's nto as bad as Frank Herbert got in the later Dune books -
shudder). Every single new book seems to introduce a new ceremony /
strange foreign culture ritual or bathing which involves naked
females.

About 5 years ago a friend of mine told me that he had gone to a
local Jordan booksigning. When it came to his turn to have his
book signed, by impulse my friend asked Jordan why he always seems
to describe breasts in such detail. Mr. Jordan actually answered,
that when he was a young boy (11-12?), a friend of his mother's was
a very well endowed lady. Whenever his mother's friend would visit
the family home, this woman would always greet him by grabbing him
and holding his face to her breasts in great big hug. Supposedly
from than on, he has had a deep appreciation of the female breast.
Whether or not my friend is giving me BS or not, I have no clue.
The story is interesting though in a gossipy way and sounds sort
of plausible maybe.

Being a healthy heterosexual male, I'd like to point out that breast size
happens to be quite a defining characteristic in a female. If I'm given
a description of how pretty her face is, how nice her breasts are, and
how plump her hips are (hips being Jordan's word for ass), I really don't
care about the rest of her. It's much more meaningful to me than
describing someone's "nicely turned calf".
Now favoring breastsize as a descriptor is well and dandy for guys, but
what about girls? Growing up with older sisters has taught me girls are
very competitive amongst each other, and they know the importance of
breastsize to guys. So they are just as aware of the breastsize in
another girl as a guy is.
I had never thought this would the topic on which I'd make my first
post...some things just get your blood flowin more than others ;)

I think he's more obsessed with women vomiting at the slightest
provocation.

If true, then he's had some really weird experiences with the opposite
sex . . .

No, no...that's "sicking up". ;)
On a side note, I'd hardly call some of the things that the girls put up
with "slightest provocations". I recall Nynaeve tossed her cookies a couple
of times during her course with Moghedien-On-A-Leash . I have to commend
her. After a few months, with the fear and rage of one of the bloody
Forsaken merrily passing through my head, I would not only be vomiting at
every available opportunity, but would probably have long gone insane.

I think the term you are looking for is called "wolfing". I could
give you a graphic description of exactly what this entails but this
is, after all, a family newsgroup.

EEK! a FAMILY newsgroup? When did that happen?
If somebody starts calling for group huggies and kissypoos,
I'll have to puke like Delana hearing about Egwene's victory over
the hall.

I'm not looking for any term. In fact, I am now very, very afraid . . .
