Okay looks like Tesla wrote a lot of tech articles and visionary rants, but apart from autobiographical stuff and no published poetry, he probably didn't write prose.

But Newton wrote more on Christianity than on math/physics, so that should count

N was a virgin almost certainly. The only possibility of him having sex was with a prostitute and we have very little evidence that this occurred. Considering his very quiet and extrenely isolated nature it's unlikely he got any pussy, and salome def didnt fuck him lol.
