I totally forgot to mention this additional chronologically relevant Fritz/Algarotti episode: July 1740, Algarotti tells Fritz that northern Europeans aren't as hot-blooded as southern Europeans; Fritz takes up the gauntlet and...
Writes a poem about one of Algarotti's orgasms?
Then sends a copy to Voltaire. !!!
Poem is then lost or "lost" to posterity, but the original manuscript owned by Algarotti turns up in Berlin in 2011, and you will see it if you google "Frederick the Great orgasm" (which you should do at every possible opportunity).
The poem is abstract enough to then leave people wondering, "Is this a sign that Fritz and Algarotti got it on?" "Or is this a sign that Fritz was all talk, because it kinda totally proves Algarotti's point?" (And yes, the latter argument has been made by slasher fans, i.e. is not exclusively no-homo BS.)
