The missing link

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

This might get pulled.

That's what she said.

[ValerieUSA]

The French are such liars.

[operation clinton cleanup]

king was endowed with a ' bracquemart assez considérable' - a rather large penis - and Marie-Antoinette suffered from a condition known in the court as ' l'étroitesse du chemin', a narrow vagina, that made her frigid.

Clinton is calling Doris Kearns Goodwin as we speak!

[Vidalia]

Yep, this is definately a historical piece of fictional crap that my kids should know.

But hey!

Let's dig them up and find out...

[Styria]

I read that Louis needed to have a circumcision in order to have children.

[razorback-bert]

I refuse to comment after my comments on the other thread dealing with this!

Is this a case of the princess and the pea squash?

[billhilly]

They were common folks after ALL.

INT. COCKTAIL PARTY. SMALLTALK AMONGST THE GUESTS.

GUEST #1: So what sort of research are you doing?

BERTIERE: For the past several years I've been researching whether the friction between Louis XVI's enormous penis and Marie-Antoinette's extraordinarily small vagina is the underlying reason for the French Revolution.

GUEST #1 FAINTS TO THE FLOOR.

[gcruse]

At last, news you can use.

[jackbill]

Put simply, the king was endowed with a ' bracquemart assez considérable' - a rather large penis

Oui. But which way did it point?

[danmar]

...why is this news...,why do I have to know about one's king schlong size including his queen beaver size...dude get back on the medicine, it shows you just missed it!

[ValerieUSA]

Don't tell me Louis was a Pokey78

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

And you wonder why men don't want to commit. I mean, would you buy a pair of shoes without trying them on? Cringing, awaiting a firestorm

[2Trievers]

While we all know photography had not yet been invented ... this OLDE photo of Marie-Antoinette was also discovered by Prof. Bertière's research assistant ...

The "French Revolution" was an infestation from the cultural civil war thrust upon that nation by a wave of fanatical political correctness which undermined the efforts of the few more sober of public leaders interested in establishing there, a republic.

The violent "Social Democrats" did what they have always done, torn down what works among whatever has displeased them; kill, slaughter, maim ... the usual dehumanization.

True to form, they deny it; it was about "freedom!"

Bull.

It was about their passion for destruction, for constantly lowering the standards to their level.

The killers swept pass the birth of the Republic and dragged most of the civic centers directly into a massacre and darkness of dictatorship by committee: The Directorate.

"Louis, then 18, told him that he had tried several times to deflower his wife 'but was always stopped by painful sensations'."

Uh, ask her to remove her pantyhose first.........

[Looking for Diogenes]

Another addition to the "Great Man" theory of history.

[Senator Pardek]

I suppose she was relegated to just eating cake.

[LadyDoc]

They don't know history. Louis suffered from phimosis, a tight foreskin, that made it painful to get an erection, so he didn't consummate the marriage for years.

Finally he got the guts to get it fixed (either circumcision or a dorsal slit) and they finally did it.The story is well known in the medical community. (guess this "historian" didn't bother to read the medical literature).

Marie was accused of playing around sexually, but there is little evidence that she actually did so. Much of the court gossip has been known for years, and nonsense that M.A. was too "tight" is doubtful, especially since she had two kids...even a five pound baby is bigger than most men's masculine endowment.
