You make that conclusion based upon the lack of identified offspring. If as Mike Waters ruminates, he exercised birth control, that could explain a lot.

He could have also used a primitive form of the rhythm method (timed sex). I don't know enough about the history of birth control to know whether anyone in his time would have practiced this.

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.

Most of those women were married to other men. The single ones, don't know.

Plenty of Mormons are married with no sex involved.
