Sorcha:

I dunno, darlin' but I would hazard the guess that the whole "suffering for want of release" thing is part of the adolescent manuvering catalogue dreamed up by young men trying desperately to persuade young women to surrender their donjon keeps. Never estimate male wiles when there's sex in the prospect-- including JFK's headaches. Well, he may have gotten headaches, but I would bet it had nothing to do with sperm buildup, I'm pretty sure, more likely some deepseated psychosomatic computation on his part. It is true that there is a great deal of desperation in the desires of youth but it is not, in fact, driven by physical pain -- more like a satyric appetite than anything else...
