then we get to do it all again in reverse!

I believe I read it years ago. I just put it in my folder of things to import into my Kindle.
I have given too much thought to that subject for years. Some mighty interesting problems arise.
1. Superman flies through the heart of the sun and remarks, "That tickles!" If a nuclear inferno only registers as a tickle on his Kryptonian skin, how is an ordinary woman suppose satisfy him physically?
2. Kryptonian muscles. In one comic in the 50s, Superman blows out a star with his super-lungs. Other muscles are not so easily controlled at certain peak moments. How does Lois' head stay on?
3. How did Ma and Paw Kent explain the "bullet holes" in Clark's bedroom ceiling to visitors?

Watson was married several times in the course of the books, but not Holmes. There was only one hint of a possible hint of anything remotely approaching a hint of romantic thought in Holmes mind, and that was the phrase from 'A Scandal in Bohemia': "To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman." And that could have been more of a sign of respect on his part.
I don't know if Holmes was gay, but I don't believe he liked women very much. I guess only Sir A.C. Dolye knew for sure. I suspect Holmes was asexual.
