It seems like some would like to congratulate him on not having sex, or very little sex. But what about the other side of the coin? How great is it for these women to be in sexless marriages?
Of course in some cases the marriages must have been considered only in terms of the after-life.

There is no doubt that some of the marriages were dynastic, but I simply don't believe anybody enters that many marriages and no sex is involved.
