You can accuse the earliest Christians of a lot of things - having a lot of sex is certainly not one of them. Read the surviving portions of the Acts of John or Andrew. It's jarring how anti-sexual early Christian literature can be. But who'd buy a book on that subject?

Just so.

Depends how ugly she is.

Best advice I've seen is marry a dragon. She might turn into a beautiful princess. Because too many of you guys have been doing the opposite -- marrying a beautiful princess and watching her turn into a dragon.

We don't seem to have had any photos of Diana Agorio yet.

Evidently some people are overjoyed to be misrepresented.
