I'm not averse to supposing Diabolik was looking for a golden
grotto. Come to it, as long as it was going to be a massive solid
gold grotto for the committing of sex acts --- that is, as long as
Diabolik had no interest in taking any gold away --- the nations of
the world were being slightly jerky in not letting him. I mean, the
point of a gold reserve is to have a gold reserve, and does it really
make much difference *where* it is as long as it's somewhere? Might
as well get somebody some nookie.
Also, I find that I'm less averse to Diabolik having sex than
I am most MST3K characters. There are people I definitely don't want
to deploy any organs whatsoever, and there are those I think could
usefully have them.
