Speaking of Dr. Johnson, I'd say that #ChristopherHitchens (at https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2009/03/demons-and-dictionaries/307272/ ) gets the better of #AdamGopnik (at https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/12/08/man-of-fetters ) regarding the Balderston thesis. While even the most outwardly conventional man may have unusual sexual desires, Mrs. Thrale would not have written down anything that suggested her own involvement.
