LOFF56 ON PL'S "HAVE YOU EVER HAD GREAT SEX WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE AND THEN GONE OUT TO POISON CHILDREN?!" PL RESPONDS!

Here's LOFF56:

Hmmm.... I don't have quite what you're asking for, But.... I read recently that Isaac Newton was a virgin until the day he died. I suppose it's entirely plausible - (I mean seriously, what a geek!). But it points to the possibility that forward thinking, productive people may in fact exist without having great sex, or any in this case!

Here's PL:

Thanks for the response, L56. Here's the thing - It is certainly possible that one can not have a great sex life and not end up wreaking havoc on other peoples lives, though, it is not possible that one can ruin the lives of others while having a great sex life. It is also possible that one can make great contributions through whatever window is open in one's soul, regardless of the fact that another window is closed.

But... you can't have the sexual window closed throughout a lifetime and do an end run around the effects of that life force being bottled up. In Isaac Newton's case, we do know that as he suffered from gout, bladder stones and hemorrhoids, and as he got older, his health began to seriously deteriorate, eventually leading to incontinence.

In other words, for all of his great discoveries, Newton nonetheless would have been better off if he'd had some love, Eros and sex after that apple fell on his head!
