Rollerskating in Rockhampton Queensland, ca. 1915. From collection M946 Brett and Burley Family Records (LINK)

At the Library we love to look at seemingly innocuous photographs like this one and tease out some of those details - like the gentleman doing a showy turn on his skates, and the sign prohibiting fast skating in the rink!

So in the various responses to the recent fuckability poll there was a bit of a trend re: Prussia that I was sort of interested in throwing my 2 cents into for consideration and/or discussion

I'm not going to try and change anyone's mind on his fuckability because everyone is entitled to their own opinion (even if they're wrong ;) ), but instead I'm going to make the case that HWS Prussia is (probably) not a virgin, historically. Bear with me here.

(Important disclaimer: this isn't attacking or trying to invalidate anyone's headcanons or thoughts, it's purely for good fun and good faith)

The Canon

Within Hetalia canon, personal unions between nations are contextualised and explained as marriages: Most famously between Austria and Hungary (forming Austria-Hungary) and... Actually it's mostly Austria and the various Hapsburg unions formed over the years. Prussia itself engaged in this, which leads me to:

The History

To cut down a whole complicated affair, Prussia entered a personal union with the state of Brandenburg to form Prussia-Brandenburg in 1618 (by which time Prussia had been Lutheran rather than Catholic for about a century), which would last as a binding union until the establishment of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701.

So with the context of personal unions being portrayed as marriages in Hetalia and marriages being what they are (be they romantic or political/dynastic, as is likely the case here) I tend to believe it is unlikely that Prussia remained a virgin.

Of course this is entirely my own interpretation and reading, I more than welcome other thoughts or headcanons ♥

Chasse aux Marais (swamp hunting), fashion plate by Paul Gavarni, September 1837. Also spelled "chasse au marais". In the course of looking up this particular mode of sporting dress I found a considerably less dignified cartoon by Honoré Daumier.
