Just curious. Was she duty bound to obey or could she say no?
Sweetie, we’ve got to find you a girlfriend – you have way too much time on your hands (sic).
Well, she had the hots for him early on, so I don’t think she’d want to disobey, but she is supposed to obey his every command.
I think that’s a lot of why he didn’t ever suggest it, myself.
He knew she couldn’t disobey, so even though she wanted it, it would be kinda creepy.
Adam Carolla had a hilarious sketch on the “Man Show” on this very topic. It showed Adam as Major Nelson commanding a horny, frustrated Jeanie to surround him with gorgeous, scantily clad men.
After all, what other explanation could there be for a guy making NO sexual moves on Barbara Eden???
It was the sixties.
Sex hadn’t been invented yet.
How could she have had sex without a navel? :eek:
Dude, I don’t know how YOU do it…
Didn’t Nelson eventually marry Jeannie in the last season or so?
LOL, because Major N. was air force … if he had been a naval officer there wouldnt be any doubt about it=)
I guessing that they did wind up doing the horzontal Cha-Cha since they got married
Damn you DTC!
At least I brought a cite
Hey, look, it’s generally assumed the characters aren’t living every single moment of their lives in front of the camera. Did we ever see Ralph Kramden in bed with Alice? (Or want to?)
IOW, for all we know, Major Nelson could have been boinking Jeannie from Day One.
Homina, homina, homina!
He wouldn’t have had to; she could give him an orgasm just by blinking her eyes.
I think it makes more sense if we just assume that. If you think about it, they were an attractive, eligible bachelor living with a hot young blonde in the 60’s - I’m sure that’s what all the neighbours assumed. I wonder if they were shunned.
I hope she had a lot of Visine handy when he was off at work.
Not if he got a continuous orgasm - say, a month ay a time.
I’m sure she would have–which, I think, is what made Tony so reluctant to pursue things with her. He was a good guy; being with a woman who could not refuse him felt too much like rape. Only after she established that she was willing to defy him was he comfortable enough to do her.
Didn’t he (Col. Nelson) date a variety of of women even after she came into his possession?
