There was a book that came out quite a few years ago called “The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People” by the Wallace clan.
The only one I can remember is Hans Christian Anderson almost certainly died a virgin.
And Lewis Carroll was ALLEDGEDLY a pedophile. Just having a thing for little girls doesn’t make you a pervert. I hope.

Great way to start the morning. It is interesting to me that writers are so often mistaken for human beings (which, as we all know, are a decidedly inferior species), I suppose because the physical characteristics are so similar. Luckily, that hasn’t happened to me in ages.

Soooooo, we should be on the lookout for hundreds of envelopes of pubes?

(Appropriately enough, the reCaptcha is “Holmes Exercises.”)

Aleksander Pushkin also had a foot fetish. It is well documented in Eugene Onegin. Perhaps it was suiting that he looked up to Byron so much – he had hundreds of lovers as well throughout his short life. He had frequent bouts of venereal disease that kept him in bed. This forced him to write instead of drinking and partying for months and is probably the reason we have some of his greatest works.

This post was awesome!! I’m especially interested because I’m currently reading Ulysses. I can see why it was called obscene in it’s day.
