KING EDWARD “THE CONFESSOR”
Edward had no sexual relations at all with his wife Edith, a curious
state of affairs known in theological terms as a “chaste
marriage” by which Edith came to be known as a “virgin
queen.” There was some confusion whether Edward
abstained for religious reasons or from his aversion to his
wife, but tradition has it that it was the former, and
Edward was duly made a saint in 1161. Some of Edith’s
contemporaries were less sure of her virginity.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON
A lifelong bachelor and rigidly
puritanical, he was said to have laughed just once in his
life, when someone asked him what use he saw in Euclid.
He severed all relations with a friend who once told him
an off-color joke about a nun.

NIKOLA TESLA
The Serbian-American scientist who
invented AC power transmission avoided all romantic
entanglements, believing that sex was a drain on
creativity. When asked by a reporter why he never
married, Tesla replied, “I do not think you can name
many great inventions that have been made by married
men.”

HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
The fairy-tale writer made highly publicized declarations of love for
prominent, unattainable women, including the “Swedish
nightingale,” Jenny Lind. He also visited prostitutes, but
he paid them just to sit and chat with him. He died
unmarried and a virgin, so terrified of being buried alive.
