Annoying trait(s): Her indecisiveness; short-temper. Scandal(s): inappropriate behaviour with her stepfather, Thomas Seymour at age sixteen; the Thomas Wyatt rebellion; intimate relationship with her Master of the Horse Robert Dudley; and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (at which she prevaricated for almost two decades).

Reasons she might have been-
Elizabeth was not an idiot. She was not about to risk her throne/her life for a role in the hay and be discovered through an accidental pregnancy. Her throne was more important to her than any physical desire might have been. Also what happened if the man she decided to be intimate with turned against her- what then? Have him executed to keep him quiet??........Elizabeth was a sexual woman, if she didnt have intercourse Im sure she didnt go through 70yrs of life with NO physical contact with a man.......... Reasons she might not have been a virgin- Human nature. Sex is a basic human desire. Even when the consequences are VERY negative(pregnancy, disgrace, eternal damnation, fatal illness etc) most people give into their sexual desires at some point, even if their entire up bringing says these desires are wrong. Once Elizabeth hit menopause she would have been free to have intercourse without fear of pregnancy....being the passionate woman she was this seems very possible. I honestly dont know either way, I think this is something we can never know as we weren't there to witness her life. I sit on the fence on this matter.
