You can't look good and feel good if you're worried about whether your deodorant is working or not.

Alexander Hamilton

Such a wife as I want. . . must be young, handsome I lay most stress upon a good shape, sensible a little learning will do, well-bread, chaste, and tender. As to religion, a moderate stock will satisfy me. She must believe in God and hate a saint.

In former days, even under Victoria, sexual intercourse was the natural end and culmination of heterosexual relations. Now one begins with genital overtures instead of a handshake, then waits to see what will turn up (e. g. , might become friends later). Like dogs greeting each other nose to tail and tail to nose.
