Tonks:
Thank you for that article. It says what I have been trying to say, 
and says it better, of course. A wizard at DD's level is above such 
mundane things as sex. The article compares DD to other great 
wizards who are also celebate. 

Also we must not forget that DD was an Alchemist. That is about 
lofty things and higher stages of development. Too bad Hans isn't 
still on this list, he would point that out also.

Who has always seen DD as a monk. He reminds me of an Abbot I once 
knew.
