“Serious historians have long ago discounted the legend popularized by Voltaire and Dumas that he was the twin brother of Louis XIV. They are pretty much in agreement that his name was Eustache Dauger, that he only occasionally wore the mask, and that when he did wear a mask, it was velvet, not iron,” Sonnino noted. “They are also quite sure that he was a valet. What they have not been able to figure out is whose valet he was, and for what possible reason he was held under tight security for over 30 years.” - See more at: http://www.news.ucsb.edu/2016/016743/mystery-unmasked?platform=hootsuite#sthash.Pa1FsWId.dpuf

listen, I’m not saying a closely-guarded valet in a velvet mask at the height of french sybaritic decadence must necessarily have involved some sex reasons, but consider: sex reasons
