The endless debate

I watched a mini-mini-program about good old H.C. Andersen's sexuality, complete with the lecturer pointing out that Magasin's little piece of art-forgery from a few years ago could actually be interpreted as a gay man and a transsexual holding hands... anyway. It reminded me of something, though, which has occurred to me before. We know HC had romantic friendships with men and got his heart broken by a few ladies. We know that he made funny little marks in his diaries when he masturbated, but we have no evidence of him ever having had sex.

So. H.C. Andersen - bi-romatic asexual? Discuss.
