Murray,
There is much to be said for killing off desire, but not until you are 105
and there is no point in desiring anyway.
To even consider such a thing earlier is to become such a self-righteous bore
that no one with half a brain would waste their time with you.
You're right.  All this material has to be looked at from the standpoint of
real life.  And let us not forget that it was written for the benefit of the
good Victorians, who could get very weird about things.
