Top 10 Famous Virgins
I assume many people will only imagine that this is yet another list of famous people who lived many centuries ago, because in this age it is next to impossible to imagine with this quality of controlling your desires. But no, there have been people who sacrificed their life forthe good of the society. They have always preached people to respect and care for the vivaciousness of life. As their lives were devoted to God and spreading God’s mission to the world, they did not have time for anything else.
Here is the list of ten famous virgins who never cared to lose their virginity:
10. Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen was a strange character, but the famous author forever immortalized in books like the The Ugly Duckling and The Princess and the Pea, was wildly rumored to have died a virgin. However this contradicts other stories that he developed an obsession with a male lover, and the death of that relationship was the inspiration for the book The Little Mermaid”. It’s said that Anderson was gay and although he had occasional crushes on women, he could not bring himself to marry.
He leaves a great legacy as his stories laid the groundwork for other children’s classics, including Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. The technique of making inanimate objects, such as toys, come to life (Little Ida’s Flowers) would also be used by Lewis Carroll and Beatrix Potter.
9. Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla is not particularly well known in person, but he has been captured on cellular forever. If you switch on an old black and white movie with a mad scientist in a white coat, that character is likely to be based on Tesla.
Tesla was pretty much responsible for the invention of modern electric power, and his contemporaries were people like Thomas Edison. He may have become even more successful and famous than Edison, expect for his strange experimental nature. Tesla had claimed to have invented the death Ray Machine on order from the government. Tesla has tried to weaponize sound vibrations inventing a creation called the Tesla coil. In actuality the tesla coil was basically a massive phallic machine jacking in and out of the ground and rippling out vibrations for miles and miles.
While he may not have been viewed as a “mad scientist” as such, he was certainly well known for his eccentric behaviour. Although there is some speculation that he may havesuffered from Asperger’s Syndrome, the symptoms that he displayed during his lifetime may match other diagnoses as well. Tesla showed many signs of obsessive-compulsive behaviour including a pathological fear of germs and dirt of all kinds, a strange fixation on the number three (he always insisted on staying in hotel rooms with numbers divisible by three), and experienced episodes of depression throughout his life. During these “nervous breakdowns”, he would become hypersensitive to light and noise with strange twitches and shivers that defied medical diagnosis. A lifelong bachelor, Nikola Tesla was ambivalent towards women (despite numerous opportunities) and may well have died a virgin. In his old age, Nikola Tesla’s oddities became even more apparent. For the last ten years of his life, he lived in a two-bedroom hotel suite in New York City (room 3327 of course) and often raised pigeons in his suite. In addition to becoming increasingly sensitive to bright lights and loud noises, he also made claims to have communicated with beings from the planet Venus and being visited by a specific white pigeon each day. Although he had a small circle of devoted friends, Telsa often isolated himself and was verbally abrasive towards anyone who annoyed him.
Nikola Tesla died alone in a hotel room on January 7, 1943. He had been living as recluse for years although his reputation as a brilliant scientist and his grandiose claims had kept him in the public eye. With more than 700 patents to his name, enough people took him seriously for a rather lengthy FBI file to be compiled on Tesla and his claims.
8. Queen Elizabeth I
Perhaps the most famous on this list of top 10 popular people who died virgin, Queen Elizabeth, is often actually referred to as “The Virgin Queen”. As Queen, Elizabeth was not allowed to have lovers (a privilege reserved for kings only) Queen Elizabeth remained chaste. Although she was an unwed woman it was said, Robert Devereaux and Robert Dudley were two men she had very interesting and intimate relationships with.
“I know I have the body of a weak, feeble Woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a King, and a King of England too” (Queen Elizabeth I to her troops at Tilbury)
7. Lewis Carroll
After his death some rather shocking discoveries were made about Lewis Carroll, such as his preference for underage girls. Carrol was always interested in photography and whilst many of his images where forever lost, the ones that were discovered, painted the author in a very negative light. Images of girls as young as 8 in various stages of undress including full nudity, made people take a second look as to why Lewis never took a wife or partner, and seamed to display no particular interest in adult relationships.
The images prove that Carroll had deviant sexual tastes, but the jury is still out on whether he died a virgin or not.
6. Sir Isaac Newton
As a, mathematician, astronomer and physicist, Sir Issac newton is widely considered by many scholars to be one of the most influential people in the history of mankind.
Sir Issac Newton was not only a virgin, but in the eighty four years he lived it is said that he formed no romantic relationships or attachments what so ever. Newton was highly religious and puritanical to the point where he immediately ended a friendship with an acquaintance, whom made the mistake of telling him a rude story about a nun.
In our top 10 list of popular people who died virgin, Isaac Newton is of particular importance.
