Hey guys..I'm on a reread of the series and I was wondering if anybody ever made a compilation or remembers all the sex moments in the Malazan books:) that includes ICE's novels and FOD!! Would be great to name a few..P.s does anybody sleep with Masan Gilani?

[Tsundoku]

Why does this feel like an episode of The Big Bang Theory?

Pun sorta intended.

[OberynM]

I have not seen Big Bang Theory so the I don't get the pun of the pun ?)))))

While I don't think such a compilation exists, it should not be very difficult to make.

[amphibian]

Maybe for you. I'm stuck irrevocably on the Gryllen sexfest, trying to count all the bodies.

Magic rat sex seems like it might be a bit out there.

I'm struggling to think of any for certain, as I can't remember if they were just inferred or not. But since there really aren't too many hook ups, the list should be pretty short.

Tattersail is one candidate in Gardens of the Moon.

Karsa and his comrades raped their way across the land. Many books later, is there a consensual hook up with Samar Dev?

Scillara is a possibility. The other Felisin?

Turudal Brizad and Janall in Memories of Ice?

Udinass and his "encounter".

Bottle getting "used" on several occasions.

Shurq Ellale and Ublala Pang? Shurq and anyone she can get her hands on?

There were more actually romantic possibilities in the Crippled God, but again, they were probably just inferred.

It is something I had thought about before, when comparing Malaz with GOT in that, while it never feels like Erikson is deliberately avoiding it, he just doesn't include it in any significant fashion. Makes it much easier to recommend the books, as some people can be especially puritanical about sex in books or films, and yet not care about all sorts of characters being mutilated or killed in gruesome fashion. Go figure.

Best not to equate sex and rape at all. They're just not the same thing.

Tattersail and Paran are a good one.
Stonny has a heavy petting moment with a minor character early in MOI. Also pretty sure WJ and Korlat have sex in MOI too.

[worry]

Skulldeath has a very healthy sex life before (maybe also during?) his infatuation with Hellian.

Yeah, I was thinking that even as I typed them, but it's surprising that those are probably the most overtly sexual acts (in purely censorship terms) in the whole series.

[Binder of Demons]

Kruppe and Hetan?

Murillio?

Lostara and Pearl?

[worry]

Yeah for sure. I remember on the Tor reread asking why there wasn't a god of Love in their pantheon and if it was a grand statement of the world or something. SE replied essentially that it probably just had more to do w/ their original gaming experiences reflecting their interests as young men, and avoiding yucky "love" stuff was just in their personalities back then.

Which actually, to me at least, made the relatively highly permeated socially progressive content in the series that much more remarkable (in fantasy fic, of course, but in fiction generally -- the content is pretty high). Maybe it wasn't there in the gaming and older wiser authors saw fit to put it in the writing, I dunno. And while I don't think rape is over-represented, I do think sex and romance are probably under-represented (I recognize the big-impact exceptions), so there are still some boyish blind spots. But I also think the series is pervaded with thoughtfulness, variety, and inclusion, in the few major romantic examples, and that is always a genuine blessing.

[OberynM]

Hellian in RG also has a moment.

[Maark Abbott]

I did not ask you to have sex with my feet.

[koehkont]

Tehol and Janath, Brys and Anarict, Rhulad and Nisall, Rhulad and Mayen, Picker and Blend and Scillara, Scillara and Cutter, Scillara and Barathol, Cutter and Chalice, Murillio once in GotM and with a younger girl in TTH I believe,
I think there are a lot. Hetan also had some, from what I remember with: Harrlo, Tool, Kruppe

[Macros]

This thread perplexes me

[Felisin Fatter]

Pretty sure Hetan also slept with Gruntle a few times (distracting her from poor Itkovian who died still a virgin). Stonny got a footjob (is that a word? I'm definitely not googling it...) and slept with... Hetan's younger brother, the one that died the next day. Seriously, Stonny is one unlucky person. Stonny and Gruntle have also had drunk regrettable (but consensual) sex in the past.

Or is it only on-page action?

I don't remember much about Masan Gilani... but didn't Tavore give her a 'desiring look' at some point? I don't think it happened though.

[Puck]

Seren and Trull, that kid had to come from somewhere. Also, Ruthan Gudd and whatsherface, Skanarow? Kalam and Minala. There's also a retrospect mention somewhere in either DoD or tCG that Feather Witch was the whore of the village.

Actually, if one looks closely, especially in the later books, there's quite a bit of sex to go around, it's just not explicit and has no function in the story other than character development.

Spax talks about sex constantly, and actually finally has some with Spultatha. Little known fact: after she gets pregnant and angrily bites his penis in TCG he commands the Gilk to start wearing turtle shell condoms, which is how they deflect FA knees to the groin and save the day.
