Tbh, anytime I read a Marie Antoinette biography, I am still shocked that it took Marie and Louis seven years to consummate their marriage.
They didn't dislike each other or anything. They got along well enough for an arranged marriage. He found her charming. She didn’t mind him. He was affable enough. Everyone assumed: “Well..he has physical problem. Or she has a physical problem. Why else haven’t they done it? They are not competent leaders!”
Then in the end…it turns out they were both idiot teenagers that no one had ever explained basic lust/sex to.
Why the French aristocracy failed. No sex Ed.
