In his book Utopia, Thomas More wrote that before they married, couples should see each other naked so they would avoid disappointment. One day, a friend named Sir William Roper asked More for the hand of one of his daughters in marriage. When Roper mentioned More’s piece of advice about seeing your betrothed naked, More led him upstairs to the daughters’ room. The girls were asleep on their backs in the same bed, in the nude. More whipped off the cover and the awakened girls quickly turned onto their stomachs. Sir William proclaimed: “Now I have seen both sides.” He married the older daughter, Margaret. I don’t think she was given the same privilege.
