It's very commonly thought that Tesla was asexual, but I have a few doubts. Sé que para algunas personas lo que diré sonará incómodo, pero en cuanto vi las primeras fotos de cuando Nikola Tesla era joven y en su edad de mayor creatividad, mi “gaydar”, una especie de radar que tenemos, o creemos tener, las personas gay para identificar cuando alguien más es gay, me dijo: “Tesla fue gay”.
Yet despite the opinion of a professional palmist, who opined that Tesla’s hand revealed “a flirtatious streak,” Tesla purposefully chose celibacy throughout his life. Nikola Tesla.

His oddness in part due to his sexlessness and germophobia is part of the reason he was not as fondly remembered as his contemporaries until more recently. He was Thomas Edison's rival and superior in maybe everything aside from self-promotion.

I would argue he seemed wholly uninterested in romance and spurned all intimate physical contact. His lack of sexual interest in women and open declaration he would remain a bachelor caused rumors in the scientific community. He was said to be a voyeur in his lifetime because of his aversion to intimate contact, the idea that he might be entirely disinterested was seemingly not an option. No one had any proof he ever engaged in sex or romance so they assumed he must have been a voyeur.
