Lo, by the time she was 26 and about to get married in two months, she developed acne, and it has persisted.

No, wait a minute: you’ve got it wrong, acne only happens if you don’t have sex for, like, three years at a stretch or something. Wrong, wrong, wrong. When I was 15 or so, and struggling to come to terms with pimples so large they could only be called warts, well-intentioned adults who should have known better drilled the above into my head.
