Can I have Oscar Wilde, David Koresh, Bill Clinton, and John Updike getting at least honorable mentions? And what about Hef, the late Bob Guccionne, and Larry Flynt?

And sorry, Freud was a crackpot, but he didn't belong there... His mind was twisted by cocaine and doing autopsies of children in a Paris morgue (where there was overwhelming evidence of extreme and grotestque sexual abuse).

Siggie was simply an intellectual coward who did uncover the emotional origins of human bonding and the unconscious and its influence on behaviors; the silly situation today is that three generations of psychotherapists held his work as gospel, and now nobody's talking...

I don't think having an active sex life or cheating on your wife necessarily makes a person a pervert. Not saying I approve of promiscuity, but consensual relationships with adults doesn't meet the definition of pervert. Most of those people just don't make it in my opinion.We also need to consider that sexual mores are different in different times and places.What was acceptable in classical Athens isn't acceptable today in America I am not necessarily speaking of Joseph Smith or defending him. I'm speaking of the whole list.

Joseph Smith isn't historically important, and his church isn't Christian - it just pretends to be.

James Joyce wasn't English. This is slob research.
