I understand the German Royal Houses are non-reigning-but-they still enjoy money, uradel priviledge, etc. And talking specifically about Sayn-Wittenstein, they are closely related to the Danish Royal House. Specifically, are the non-reigning German Royals coming back to power? If any comments on this, please send them to ambergroupcorp@mail.com if you would.

I’m talking George IV: the list of his “official” mistresses is already long enough, but the rest of his private life must have been quite ... titillating.<br />Another Hanoverian worth considering is ... Leopold of Sax-Coburg-Gotha, first “King of the Belgians” in 1931. He had been a colonel in the Russian army and allegedly the Tsarin’s best lover. Upon her urgent request, he was chosen for the function by the party of the “Sainte Alliance”, after having declined Greece’s throne. He had “screwed himself a career” in all the European courts and had even served as an officer ... for Bonaparte - would you believe it? As you know, he was first maried to Charlotte-Augusta , Princess of Wales and ... only legitimous child of the very same George IV! As such, she was the heiress to the throne of the United Kingdom and of Ireland, but the poor thing died in childbirth, though, and “Popol” could go on womanizing.Luc Charliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6219646897587177986.post-1598101115384979262011-02-18T19:39:37.033+01:002011-02-18T19:39:37.033+01:00Agreed about small children.

O...Mmmm.<br />I think I like your definition number one.<br />On the others, the question of "morally corrupt" raises its ugly head fairly quickly (in fact too quickly for me).<br />On definition number four, is not the primary goal sexual reproduction, rather than genital satisfaction?

In occidental societies, someone who exhibits a socially unacceptable behaviour, mostly in connection with his/her sexual attitude<br />4. For Freud, starting from his hypothesis that the child is a polymorphic pervert, meaning by that that he constantly diverts his pulsions from their “ primary goal “, which is genital, to other satisfactions, he then continues to define a “pathologic” perversion, i.e. an alteration in the relation of an adult to the “objects”.
