Jokes aside, not swallowing would be unthinkable in the context of Arrakis.

EDIT: The horror!

"I'm not some kind of pervert."

You really gotta give Herbert for towing right up to the line for incest, giving it a little kiss, but not crossing it.

Lol mind providing some context for those of us unaware?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

You really ought to just read the books, but it's a LOT of "technically not incest" throughout the series. From the Bene Gesserit breeding programs, to Paul considering using his sister to make an heir, to Leto II's interest in his sister despite being unable to have sex, and then his breeding programs with the Duncan Idaho gholas. Nothing you can really call incest actually happens, but it's definitely uncomfortable at times.

If we're just talking pervert stuff instead of specifically incest, there's the thing from Chapterhouse where they "awake" the mind of a dead person they put into a child's body by the bene gesserit having sex with them. (This is a super old memory so may be misremembering specifics)

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

You're almost entirely correct. They clone individuals (gholas) and raise them in "tanks" which are basically women in a much worse situation than Handmaid's Tale. The clone in question was Teg Atreides who was the Bashar (General) for the Bene Gesserit. They normally awakened memories in gholas through stress but he was very young when they needed him to manage their forces. There was a suggestion about using sex instead which produced a long moral discussion about the use of sex vs violence. They went with sex and it worked.

Is royal incest really incest?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Incest is always incest. Whether or not it's a problem is always a context thing.

Duncan Idaho climbed a cliff so good it made a woman cum.

[-] Habahnow 5 points 2 months ago

Lol are you serious or making this up? I was going to downvote you because of the irrelevant comment but...

She came buckets. Bad water discipline but they weren't really about that life anymore.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I think it's not too far off at least. It was on their way to kill Leto II. and she quite liked what she saw.
Frank Herbert has quite a few sexual surprises hidden in Dune. I doubt they'll be shown in the movies....

Well, he is Duncan Idaho and an upgraded version. Read the God emperor of Dune for more information

In the next movie we might get to see Anya taylor joy fighting some training robots naked and paul getting hot and bothered by it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

We can hope. Sadly the miniseries had her clothed.

That's Adult Beefswelling to you.

If it was anybody else I would assume this was a fake quote.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

as childish as this type of thing is, the book makes it clear just how every bit of water has to be collected and not wasted.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Have you read the later books? That would be fairly mild.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Its not gay if we're on Arrakis.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

It’s not gay if the still suit is on
