Re: No sex in Narnia - why?

No, but you see, that's exactly the problem I have. They don't take responsibility. They rule Narnia until they're all grown up, and then Aslan hoiks them out and leaves the place to go to rack and ruin without heirs to the rulers. I accept that the absence of sex is a result of the time, place and genre of the books, but I'm arguing it also leaves gaping logic holes in the story, and flaws the notion of lessons learned - they don't learn responsibility, do they? They can't. The story continually insists that whatever they learn, they're still children.
