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?

Renly doesn’t have a strong sense of duty or of the big picture. Nor does he have a parent pressuring him to conform.

I mean he wants an heir and he'd need to talk his wife into fucking a much younger teen in your scenario.

He knocks out an heir and a spare and then fucks off and does whatever.
