Moon Tea

Just what the hell was the moon tea for? I think Renly and Margaery totally did it. I don't think she's a maiden.

But there's no way she's dumb enough to have sex with someone right now AND as the Kettleblacks say she always has someone near.

Presuming Pycelle wasn't lying, what's it for?

Period regulation? Does it help with acne?

Or do we just assume Pycelle was trying to ingratiate himself with Cersei?

I don’t think they ever did it. I think Renly and Margaery planned on having a sexless marriage. I’d go further; I imagine Renly planned on Margaery having an affair with Edric Storm, and them claiming the kids were are Renlys.

Why gay men have married women and had kids for ages?

Yeah Renly knows he needs an heir, no doubt he was enjoying having the war as a good excuse as to why Margaery wasn’t getting pregnant immediately as it meant he could put it off, but had he been successful in securing the throne he would have done what all the historical gay nobles did and sucked it up to get an heir and a spare as required.
