      You think Gandalf ever had sex in those 2019 years? I mean, he probably has the equipment for the job and we know that wizards can enjoy the pleasures of mortals, such as smoking halfling weeds. He probably has at least made it to second base

        The Valar can marry, which implies romantic love. (Although it seems like they don’t have children the normal way.) So I think the Maiar experience romantic love too. Gandalf doesn’t seem like the sort who would talk about it, especially if his partner had been dead for centuries.

        But with Tolkien, you never know - apparently elves and humans have only gotten together twice in all the history of the world despite looking like each other and frequently being platonic friends.

        Edit: I forgot about Luthien’s mom. The Maiar can even have children.

        Statistically speaking he must have.
        How he couldn’t? I mean not even an orc?
