Abstrakt: The article reports how the sexless courtship plots of writer Jane Austen's works juxtapose the desirable male hero who notably lacks a sexual past against the morally depraved male suitor with an illicit sexual history as indicated in "Sense and Sensibility" and "Mansfield Park." Topics include the lack of sex in Austen's fiction, how "Sense and Sensibility" garners an affective response towards masculine hypersexuality and how both novels garner readerly sympathy for male sexual misconduct.
