[1] "The sharp decline in Forster's output has always mystified historians, but now a dossier of his private papers has revealed how growing personal contentment stunted his literary drive... After suppressing his sexuality as a young man, Forster, who was known to his friends as Morgan, lost his virginity to a wounded soldier in 1917 while working for the Red Cross in Egypt. That sexual awakening in his late 30s led to a series of romances with working class men including a tram conductor and two policemen." Matthew Moore, EM Forster 'turned against novels after losing his virginity', Telegraph, 6 June 2010.
