While on this topic, I thought that I would tell a story about Pierre's home country. Probably the most well known royal couple in history were King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Austrians had hated the French for centuries, so for political reasons, it was an arranged marriage, to keep the peace. He was 15, she was 14.
These portraits were made when they were older.
But Marie was still a virgin on the morning after their wedding night. Allegedly, King Louis suffered from Phimosis.
When male babies are born, the foreskin is attached to the glans. But the foreskin separates from the glans sometime before puberty. In his case, it did not. So any sex would be very painful. Especially deflowering a 14 year old virgin.
Despite the court's urging, the king refused being circumsised.
Men have some instincts. One, is what he does when walking through the grass barefoot, and steps on a snake. That same instinct happens when a man grabs your penis with one hand, while carrying a very sharp knife with the other hand.
It took 6 years of marriage before the king allowed the operation to happen. Back then there was no "Michael Jackson Juice" to put you to sleep, and no Novocaine to deaden the pain.
Finally after 7 years of marriage, an heir to the throne came into the world.
Historians also know that at some point, she had an affair with a Count. Her passionate love letters were uncovered.
