Oscar Wilde said that women were created not for understanding, but for love. This writer understood the weaker sex much better than most men. As a result, many women went down in history not due to their intelligence, but due to the beauty and seduction of famous men.
However, many of these mistresses did not possess obvious beauty at all, but somehow they were still able to captivate their chosen ones. As a result, the fame of such women passed through the years and centuries. And even today, women are trying to take advantage of some of the secrets of those legendary figures.
Valeria Messalina. In history, this woman remained as one of the most dissolute persons. Despite her high status (she was the wife of Emperor Claudius), Valeria literally became the personification of lust and fornication in Rome. Messalina lived in the 1st century AD. Contemporaries say that she was more promiscuous than Nero himself. But he became famous for wild orgies, harems with children and a palace that became a brothel. It is said about Messalina that she came to one of the brothels of Rome, taking the place of a prostitute there. Only this could satisfy her passion. Valeria herself did not miss a single handsome man. For a long time, her behavior got away with her, her blinded husband did not notice anything. But Valeria also decided to enthrone her next lover, Gaius Silius. The plot failed, and Messalina herself was killed by order of the emperor at the age of 28. Historians say that at that time the woman was already stricken with syphilis, so such a death was no worse end to a dissolute and shameful life.
Cleopatra. This woman is considered one of the wisest mistresses. Also Cleopatra is one of the most scandalous characters ancient world. Because of her, powerful states fought each other. The night with Cleopatra cost each of her new slave lover their lives, nevertheless, the fatal beauty (some sources say that outwardly she was not a beauty) beckoned men to her. Each of them dreamed of conquering a woman with his strength and love skills, and in the morning to wake up not only alive, but also the king of all Egypt. Nevertheless, Cleopatra continued to kill her lovers, unaccepting compromise. Specialists in ancient egypt call the queen one of the first adherents of free love. It was believed that she was an experienced fellatrix, that is, she skillfully gave a blowjob to her chosen ones. Perhaps this is what tied Antony to her? The ancient Greeks nicknamed the queen Meriohane, which literally means "open-mouthed", "women with a thousand mouths." Another nickname for the mistress was "fat-lipped." Although Cleopatra had all the makings of a good ruler, she was prevented from skillfully ruling first of all own desires. She also indulged her own famous lovers. For Caesar, Cleopatra seemed modest and intelligent, and for Antony she became a mad hunter for carnal pleasures. Love for the latter became tragic, the couple decided to resist Rome, for which they paid with their lives.
Phryne. But this Greek hetera became famous for its beauty. She worked as a model. From it, the ancient creators sculpted and painted Aphrodite herself. They wrote that Phryne was very bashful and extremely reluctant to be naked. She even met her men in the dark. As a result, the getter was condemned for the negative impact on the most enlightened citizens of the republic. But when she was led to her execution and her clothes were torn off, the audience saw the perfect body of Phryne. Geter was immediately acquitted, since it was decided that a dissolute soul simply could not live in such a divine body.
Thais of Athens. This impudent hetaera became famous for seducing Alexander the Great himself. Although she was a prostitute, she became famous for her impregnability. She attracted the great conqueror herself by the fact that she did not want to give herself to him for any treasures or riches. The woman told Alexander that it was necessary to win her heart and then the whole world would fall before him. Subsequently, Thais was able to marry the Egyptian king Ptolemy I.
Wu Hu. This Chinese empress from the Tang Dynasty announced the advent of the era of female superiority in the country. To do this, even the custom of licking the "lotus stamens" appeared in court etiquette. The Empress demanded that all government officials and visiting dignitaries show her special respect through cunnilingus. This ceremony has remained even in old paintings: Wu Hu holds her dress, and a guest kneels in front of her, who kisses her genitals.
Scheherazade. This woman is famous for her intelligence. Naturally, she did not only tell fairy tales with the Sultan. After each love intercourse, Scheherazade began to tell interesting story, which was interrupted by interesting place. At first, the Sultan even wanted to exile her to the lower harem, as a wife who no longer satisfies him. However, it turned out that no one else was able to tell such interesting tales to the ruler. Shahriyar continued to listen to his concubine. This is how the book of fairy tales "A Thousand and One Nights" appeared. That's how long it took the ruler to regain common sense and stop killing virgins. And what happened after that with the most desirable wife of the Sultan is unknown. Some infection is said to have caused her death.
Elizabeth Bathory. This woman went down in history under the name of the Bloody Countess. She had many lovers, the most famous of which is the painter Caravaggio. They say that she became for him not only a model, but also a real muse and goddess. Contemporaries recall that Bathory was of unearthly beauty, until her death she kept her face like a young girl. This effect became possible supposedly due to the fact that the countess bathed in the blood of tortured and murdered virgins. In total, she killed about 600 women, among whom were not only peasant women and servants, but also noble persons. They say that Bathory came up with terrible mechanisms. For example, a metal coffin containing spikes inside. They entered the body shallowly, not killing immediately, but causing only bleeding. Thus, the victim died gradually, giving his blood to the insatiable countess. They say that Bathory invented several thousand sophisticated tortures and devices for this. Only in 1611 was the 50-year-old sadist condemned. There are several versions of her death. They say that the angry mob simply staged lynching for her, immuring her alive in the walls of her own castle. A popular story is that Bathory got away with it. Her family was too powerful. The bloody countess was sent to the dungeon to live out her term, away from human eyes. There is an opinion that Elizabeth was slandered. The fact is that she was richer than the king himself, who wanted to take away all her property from her. After the death of the countess, five of her children disappeared somewhere, and all her gold and lands went to the ruler. Bathory went down in history not only as a bloodthirsty killer, but also as one of the most beautiful women of her time with unfading beauty. In Hungary itself, the woman was called a vampire, believing that in terms of the number of her atrocities she was in no way inferior to Count Dracula.
Marquise de Pompadour. This favorite of the French king Louis XV was not only a skillful and tireless mistress, but also played an important role in European politics. It is said that she owes her passion to celery. Every day, the Marquise used two of the strongest aphrodisiacs at once - chocolate and celery root. In the morning she drank a mug of hot chocolate, adding ground root there. During the day she ate a special salad with apples, walnuts and celery. While it's not clear if she knew these foods helped her stay lovable, Pompadour could make love up to 10 times a day with different partners. Celery is generally a well-known pathogen. So in different countries ah, the peasants put a bunch of this plant at the head of the bed on their wedding night. Jeanne Poisson herself, the future Marquise of Pompadour, was promised the love of the king himself at the age of nine. What more could a young girl dream of? The origin of the Pompadour remains a mystery. There is an opinion that she was generally of low origin, just one day she successfully found herself a patron in the form of a nobleman and ended up at court. There, at a masquerade, she met Louis XV. The monarch was intrigued by the behavior of the girl, who coquettishly hid her face under a mask. And when the mask was removed, the king finally fell in love. It was not easy to achieve a high position and the status of a favorite for many years, but Jeanne was able to do it. She did not limit her activities to just bed. The Marquise of Pompadour took up the development of the arts, patronizing many artists and writers. Until her death, she remained for the king not only a mistress, but also a close friend. This in itself is a rarity.
Josephine. Napoleon's chosen one at the time of their meeting was not young, she was already over thirty and she had two children. However, she looked flawless on the outside. Although Bonaparte himself gave imperious orders to the rest, he was shy in front of Josephine and experienced either tender or passionate feelings. The secret of the victory over Napoleon was simple. Josephine was not just a beauty, she was also an excellent listener. A wise woman always approved of the actions of her lover, no matter what he did. And as a reward for this, she became the first Empress of France. The divorce of the couple took place only for the good of France - the country needed an heir.
Inessa Armand. This woman, although she was right in the center of revolutionary actions, her role was bashfully hushed up by historians. After all, she was the mistress of Vladimir Lenin himself, which somehow did not fit in with the immaculate image of the leader. Armand met him in front of Krupskaya in Paris. Inessa's personal relationship with Lenin was so close that Nadezhda Konstantinovna herself was in the background with her husband. Krupskaya was forced to forgive her husband's passion for his mistress, if only it was for the good of the revolution. Inessa herself was wholeheartedly devoted to her occupation and to Lenin himself. Armand left behind three children who were born before meeting the leader. And she died of cholera in 1920 and was buried not far from her beloved - under the Kremlin wall.
Mata Hari. This courtesan earned her living by performing exotic dances. At one time, all of Paris admired her. Many high-ranking officials of France and Germany became lovers of the artist. According to legend, during the First World War, Mata Hari was a spy, while cooperating with both warring parties at once. It is not known whether she was able to extract really valuable information from her patrons. Nevertheless, in 1917 the French shot Mata Hari for her spying for Germany. She herself became a legend, embodying the images of a femme fatale and a fearless intelligence agent.
Isadora Duncan. This American dancer led a bohemian lifestyle. She is considered the founder of free dance, from which the Art Nouveau style was born. She had many admirers, some of whom she reciprocated. Having survived the death of her two children, she went to Russia, where she met Sergei Yesenin. He became her lover and later her husband. Isadora herself, according to her contemporaries, did not captivate with her brilliant beauty. But she was very natural and had a natural sexuality. On stage, Duncan performed barefoot, and her every movement was filled with grace and natural charm. All her dances spoke of the fact that she was open to life and madly in love with her in all manifestations. She herself wrote: "If my art is symbolic, then this symbol is only one: the freedom of a woman and her emancipation from the rigid conventions that underlie puritanism." Contemporaries believed that Duncan's work opens up new horizons for the women of the future. Her dances were called brilliant, she was able to change both art and everyday life. But relations with Yesenin did not work out - two gifted creative people were jealous of each other's glory.
Lila Brik. Men were drawn to her by her feeling inner freedom. This woman had many admirers - Pablo Neruda, Marc Chagall, Louis Aragon, Sergei Parajanov, Fernand Léger, Yves Saint Laurent. But Brik's most famous lover was Vladimir Mayakovsky. The poet even lived with her and her husband, embarrassing the townsfolk with such a love triangle. Brik herself said: “You need to inspire a man that he is wonderful or even brilliant, but that others do not understand this. And allow him what is not allowed at home, for example, to smoke or go wherever he pleases. Good shoes and silk underwear will do the rest.” As you can see, the secret of seduction is not so complicated. Lilya Brik often appears as a femme fatale. If a man attracted her, then nothing could stop her. The history of Brik is covered with legends, there was some kind of mystery in it that attracted the most famous men of that time to her. Talking with people, Lily skillfully and cleverly emphasized her interest in her interlocutor. Brik has always been fashion-conscious, dressing with taste and hiding her flaws in her clothes. It was she who became the first woman in Moscow who dared to wear trousers. The straightforward Akhmatova recalled Lila in this way: "Hair dyed and impudent eyes on a worn face."
Marilyn Monroe. This mistress is one of the most mysterious in history. The sex symbol of the 20th century had a close relationship with US President John F. Kennedy. But this connection, like the subsequent death of the actress, is shrouded in mystery. It is not clear if Monroe's death was a suicide or if her love for Kennedy became a hindrance to someone and she was simply removed. During her lifetime, she managed to tarnish the reputation of an excellent family man and the pride of America, John F. Kennedy. It is still unprofitable for someone to reveal the secret about those events. One thing is clear - the sexy beauty Marilyn Monroe was deeply unhappy in her personal life. From the day she mysterious death more than half a century has passed, but she still remains the standard of femininity and sexuality. And the actress herself has turned into a promoted and popular brand. With the help of her name, billions of dollars are earned annually in the world.
Edwina Curry. The mistress of the English Prime Minister John Major significantly complicated his political career after he decided to break with her. Although the woman was even threatened with reprisal, she did not want to remain silent, writing the whole truth about her relationship with a powerful admirer. Written at the risk of his life, the book quickly became a bestseller, and Major's own career went downhill. Curry said that she was not only threatened, but also attacked and beaten twice. The criminals demanded silence from her and promised to kill her if the book was published. But she did it anyway. Maybe she was driven by a sense of revenge, or maybe the desire to prove that even powerful men should be held accountable for their actions. In the end, the truth about the premiere turned out to be stunning. No British politician was told so many humiliating details as about him. The most intimate details of his life became the property of the public. And this happened because one day he decided to leave the one who loved him. Fear for a career and threats only exacerbated the position of the unfortunate lover.
Sylvia Christel. This beautiful woman famous for her performance leading role in the sensational erotic film "Emmanuelle". Her attractiveness did not go unnoticed by the most prominent men. Valerie Giscard d'Estaing, President of France, became Christelle's mistress. Moreover, their romance began even before he took this prominent post. d'Estaing himself never hid this relationship. As a result, Sylvia was even invited to all official events related to the head of state. She acted as hostess at his receptions. Yes, and on foreign trips, the president often took Sylvia with him. Thus, Christelle seemed to have received the status of an "official" mistress.
Anne Penjo. As already mentioned, often mistresses created a scandal around their politician admirer. So it was with Anne Penjo. This mistress of Francois Mitterrand even settled in the Elysee Palace. But when the new president, Jacques Chirac, came to power, the first thing he did was order the eviction of Penjo and her illegitimate daughter from his predecessor from the state residence. Biographers say that the loving Mitterrand had many mistresses. Penjo was just one of them. That is why the French themselves were calm about the fact of its existence. But the fact that the president gave her free housing in the Elysee Palace, and even denied it, the citizens of the country could not forgive him. After Mitterrand's death, another scandal erupted. The mistress, along with the president's illegitimate daughter, wanted to attend the funeral, which his family vehemently opposed. Now Ann is not leading at all luxurious life- She works in a museum, barely making ends meet. And Mitterrand's illegitimate daughter, with the help of the court, won the right to her father's surname and went into politics.
Monica Lewinsky. This mistress turned out to be very selfish. She not only had a strong influence on the career and family of her partner, but also did not fail to earn several million dollars from this. Monica told the press about all the details of her intimate relationship in the Oval Office. Already after this connection became known to the public, everyone was literally amazed at how the intern, unknown to anyone before, managed to carry out the operation she had planned. She even saved for history the dress in which she made love with Clinton. For the president, that story almost turned into a resignation and even a prison for lying before the court. Monica herself, with memories of those relationships, traveled all over the world. Lewinsky wrote a book about her intimacy and even filmed documentary"Monica in black and white", for which she received a multi-million dollar fee. And Clinton himself is frankly sorry, even his wife forgave him. It is not clear just what the charming and popular politician found in the unsightly plump Lewinsky.

On June 23, the daughter of the planter Josephine de Beauharnais was born, who, thanks to her charm and intelligence, became main love in the life of the French emperor Napoleon I. She cheated on him and made huge debts, but she always managed to convince her domineering husband to forgive her and solve all her problems. Some women seem to have a special power over men. Read about five of them.
Having married early and becoming a mother twice, Josephine did not receive either the love of her husband or wealth: the couple soon divorced. Then Alexander Beauharnais was executed: there were revolutionary unrest.
Left alone with two children, Josephine foresaw bleak prospects: no money, no connections, no special beauty. With the last pennies she buys mirrors, arranges them in her miserable dwelling and rehearses for hours on end in front of them: gestures, facial expressions, looks, grace, manner of speaking - all this was borrowed from secular ladies.
Not having beautiful teeth by nature, Josephine learns to speak and laugh, covering the places affected by caries. It gives softness to the voice, tenderness to the speech, caress to the look.
At their first meeting, Napoleon was 26, she was 32, but he was overwhelmed by her beauty.
Having accepted the offer of the future emperor, she does not suspect what future awaits him and her, therefore, having sent her husband on another campaign, she continues to lead social life and respond to courtship gentlemen. Bonaparte hears rumors about his wife's infidelities, but, being blindly in love, he for a long time forgave her everything.
Pastor Gluck. Dragoon Kruse. Count Sheremetev. Alexander Menshikov - this is not a complete list of people captured by the young cheerful "orphan" Marta Skavronskaya. Passing from patron to patron, she changed her life in the provincial German Marienburg to royal apartments in the Northern capital.
Peter I, visiting Menshikov, was struck by the ease of communication of a dark-skinned woman (Russian young ladies brought up at Domostroy were once again afraid to tear their eyes off the floor, let alone flirt with the emperor). On the same night, Marta became the Tsar's mistress, having received the first ducat from him for the "night conversation".
Skavronskaya is taught Russian literacy and converted into Orthodox faith, naming Catherine.
Having learned that Peter is going on another military campaign, she, at the 7th month of pregnancy, goes after him. Always radiating gaiety, Catherine is the only one able to prevent the epileptic attacks that haunt Peter.
When the Russian army is on the verge of a shameful defeat, being surrounded by superior enemy forces, Catherine offers to bribe the representatives of the enemy with her decorations. Soon the Turkish vizier receives an offering, the peace is signed, Peter's reputation is saved.
Catherine did not change her principle of cheerfulness, she even easily listened to her husband's confessions about his momentary hobbies.
In the portraits of the Empress, one cannot fail to notice this slight smile - her answer to a happy fate.
Eight-year-old Jeanne Antoinette Poisson was told by a fortune-teller that she was destined to become the king's mistress. This predetermined the fate of not only the girl, but the whole of France. Having married and given birth to a child, Jeanne did not burden herself with worries about her daughter. She was interested in something else: the opportunity to be presented to the monarch.
And when she finally managed to get to the palace for a ball in the costume of the goddess of the hunt, she made a splash, the king persistently pursued the stranger. And he was not disappointed when the mask was coquettishly removed.
But for some time the king hesitated, not trusting his new acquaintance. The question of moving to Versailles was decided after Madame d'Etiol (by her husband) ran into the chambers of the ruler in tears, exclaiming that she would rather die at the hands of a jealous husband than leave the love of her life - Louis XV. So she became the official favorite of the king. Soon he gave her the Pompadour estate and the title of Marquise.
She did everything to please the monarch. Having learned that the king likes to correspond, she began to write letters to him. Noticing Louis' craving for the fine arts, she invited poets and thinkers, patronized the theater, and played tragic roles herself. Noticing that the king was quickly getting bored, she changed costumes and hairstyles. And over time, she took on part of the state duties: she met with ambassadors, appointed to government posts and gave orders to army commanders ...
They say that for the first time Diana saw the future King Henry when he was 6 years old, and she was 25: he went to Spain for a long time, and touched Diana kissed the baby on the nose...
Returning to France, 20-year-old Henry II falls in love with the 39-year-old widow Diana and declares her his favorite. Despite her age, Diana looked young and very beautiful girl, and evil tongues attributed to her a connection with the devil. Having become the first lady of the kingdom, Diana masterfully weaves intrigues: she gets rid of the courtiers who were under the influence of the former favorite, but maintains the appearance of friendly relations with Catherine de Medici, the wife of the king.
Upon learning that the advisers are offering the king a divorce due to the fact that the Medici have no children, Diana persuades Henry to fulfill his marital duty more often. Therefore, the next ruler, Francis II, owes his birth to Diana.
The king did not make a single decision without consulting her. It is said that she was the only royal favorite in history who managed to completely subjugate the king. She even corresponded with other monarchs and the Pope as a full representative of the monarch.
Recently, scientists examined the remains of the famous royal favorite and found in them a gold content that is 250 times higher than normal. It is possible that Diana really took some kind of drink prepared by alchemists, but history has not preserved its recipe.
Bessie Wallis Warfield from American Baltimore, before meeting the Prince of Wales, the future king, seemed to go through all the circles of hell: she was an illegitimate child, in her childhood she knew the delights of a beggarly life. In her first marriage, she suffered beatings from her alcoholic husband, a sadist who tormented her with his jealousy. True, her loyalty was not impeccable.
And another dark page in her biography. After the divorce, she ended up in China. Rumor has it that here Wallis did not shy away from dubious connections and mastered the art of seducing feng-chang in brothels.
The second marriage was concluded clearly by design: the good-natured businessman Ernest Simpson lived in London and was a member of high society.
Thanks to his connections, the Prince of Wales met with 40-year-old American Wallis Simpson. Love at first sight? Maybe. But only from the side of the prince. According to contemporaries, the American used all her charms to seduce a weak-willed man and struggled to become a queen.
Having ascended the throne, Edward VIII did not change his decision to marry. It seemed that Wallis's dream almost came true, but the king's entourage put him before a choice: either an American or the throne. Edward VIII abdicated, receiving in return a hysterical remark from future wife: "Fool! Stupid fool!"...
The Greek hetaera became famous for being the model of the famous artists Praxiteles and Apelles. The statue of Aphrodite of Knidos is one of the most outstanding works of the 4th century BC. e. Of all the courtesans, Phryne was the most shy. She always appeared in public fully dressed, preferring tight-fitting chitons, never went to public baths and only made love in the dark.
It was said that no man could resist her charms. The most ardent of lovers spent all their wealth on her. It was only natural that married women in Athens hated her. They contributed to bringing the beauty to trial on charges of corrupting the most prominent citizens of the republic.
The death sentence seemed inevitable until the defender - the famous orator Hyperides, to whom Phryne promised herself as a fee for the victory - at the moment of inspiration, brought her before the judges and pulled off the covers from her shoulders, exposing the defendant to the waist. She stood with her perfect chest exposed. The glorious servants of the law were so delighted with the perfection of her body that they came to the conclusion - to leave the courtesan alive, because a perfect body has a perfect soul.

She was far from beautiful, but her mind, charm and passion drove men crazy. The main secret Cleopatra - she was what men wanted to see her. With Caesar, Cleopatra was intelligent and smart, expressed herself gracefully, spoke about politics, literature and art. With Antony, she is depraved and lustful, pandering to his gross instincts.
And yet she knew how to surprise. Once Antony, admiring the luxury and abundance of the feast, remarked that nothing could surprise him anymore. Cleopatra, in response, pulled out an earring with a pearl, which had no equal in the whole world, threw it into a bowl of vinegar and, in front of the astonished guests, drank the sour drink in one gulp. Is it possible not to fall in love with such a woman?

She tried every time to appear before the monarch in a new unexpected way and came up with new entertainments for him.

By the way, it was Pompadour who invented shoes with heels (in order not to appear short).

The history of the actress's relationship with US President John F. Kennedy is still shrouded in mystery. But the fact that they really were lovers was even confirmed by some FBI employees. However, Marilyn Monroe is more likely to be called a sex symbol than a great lover. As one of her longtime friends and lovers noted: "In bed, she was quite simple and rather enjoyed the reaction of a man to herself."
Marilyn's secret to evoke admiration and desire is quite simple: she was attracted to a combination of angelic innocence and incredible power of eroticism - frank, but not vulgar.
Of course, Monroe cultivated her sexuality by tossing the phrase "I only wear a drop of Chanel No. 5 at night" to the crowd or acting half-naked. But the fact remains - millions of men still consider the actress the most feminine and desirable.
The romance of the star of the erotic movie "Emmanuelle" and the French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing began long before Valery led the country in 1974. However, neither the victory in the elections, nor the birth of a fourth child from a legal wife changed their relationship. Everyone knew about the president's affair with Emmanuel. Sylvia often acted as the hostess of official receptions and accompanied her patron during foreign tours. However, this topic has been carefully avoided. Moreover, Christel herself recently denied the vicious relationship in an interview, calling it gossip. "By the way, I found Mitterrand more sexy. Many Arab sheiks lured me into their harems, and the then leader of the Seychelles offered me the position of his press secretary with a great salary," said the star of erotic films, including "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and "Mata Hari".

Unlike Sylvia Kristel, Monica Lewinsky did not hide her relationship with US President Bill Clinton. On the contrary, she drew good dividends from this story, allowing her to live comfortably.
Monica Lewinsky entered the history of the United States of the twentieth century as one of the mistresses of President Clinton. Maybe she will be able to do something significant in the future, but it is unlikely that her biography will contain more significant facts than oral sex in the Oval Office of the White House.
In 1995, Monica, a young intern, entered the White House. Soon she began an affair with the president. A year later, Lewinsky received a promotion - first to the law department, then to the security department. The girl told her friend Linda Tripp about her affair with Clinton, who was much older than her and, as practice showed, smarter. All telephone conversations girlfriends were recorded by Linda on the recorder. When enough records had accumulated, Linda met with Attorney Ken Starr and told him about the tapes and about the personal life of the US President. This is where the lawsuit began, which nearly cost Bill the presidency. Roman Bill and Monica was the most scandalous in the history of America.

Marlene Dietrich, John F. Kennedy, Alain Delon, Elizabeth Taylor... They were mega-stars, they were adored, admired. But they became famous not only because of their talents. Today, their countless sexual exploits have already become legends, and their images have become sex symbols of the twentieth century.

Now no one will remember either the laws that the French king Henry IV adopted, or the years of his reign. But the signature recipe for the king's love potion is still well known. To maintain potency, the royal ladies' man drank on an empty stomach a glass of cognac mixed with egg yolk and a few cloves of garlic. The effect was amazing - the king easily made happy an entire army of favorites.
Casanova, whose name has become a household name, also became famous thanks to his sexual adventures. He even described them in his memoirs. For 39 years of active adventures, the Italian has added only 132 women to his list. "Total" - because for modern Don Juan this figure is far from the limit. In the past century, the number of passions of famous people was in the hundreds, and sometimes thousands ... So who are they - the famous lovers and mistresses of a bygone era?
Frank Sinatra.Sultan swoon
None of the Hollywood beauties could resist the blue eyes and charming baritone of Frank Sinatra. The image - a la gangster of the 20s - and a personal acquaintance with Al Capone gave the singer a touch of danger, from which hundreds of women melted: from the maids of the hotels where Sinatra stayed, to the capricious and arrogant film stars.
Once on the set of a film, he is for the sake of sports interest - not otherwise! - posted in his dressing room a list of the twenty most beautiful Hollywood stars and gradually crossed out the names of those whom he defeated. Eyewitnesses claimed that by the end of filming there was not a single line that was not crossed out.
Sinatra's bed was visited by a huge number famous women. They say he had an affair with the wife of his bosom friend John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline, and cuckolded another president, Ronald Reagan. And at a reception in honor of the Soviet delegation, he did not leave a single step from Nina, Nikita Khrushchev's wife. It is unlikely that he was fascinated by the charms of the wife of the leader of the USSR, but it was so tempting to seduce the Soviet first lady! And it is not known how the matter would have ended if the delegation had stayed in America for one more night.
Secrets of seduction
Sinatra's main trump card was his voice and smile. When Frankie sang, it seemed to every woman in the audience that he was doing it only for her alone. From the stage, he winked at the audience, by any means demonstrated his interest. As soon as he snapped his fingers, the girls fell at his feet (often literally, for which Frank received the nickname "Faint Sultan").
It was rumored that his penis was so big that it couldn't fit in regular underpants! Therefore, the artist was sewn special trousers to order, so that the favorite of millions of women would not walk with a protruding fly.
One of Sinatra's wives, Ava Gardner, once said: “What did I find in a man weighing 55 kilograms? 5 kg of voice and 50 kg of sex.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy. President with a sexy image
.jpg)
There are men who physically cannot do without a woman for a long time. These included Marshal Georgy Zhukov. So was US President John F. Kennedy. It is said that after several hours of abstinence, the leader of a superpowerful state began to have headaches. Often a loving politician had three women a day - an official wife, an official lover, and some other seductive “stray bird”. John once said: "I am only satisfied with a girl after we have been intimate with her at least three times, and each time in a new way."
It was dangerous to leave any woman alone with Kennedy - she was almost guaranteed to be in his bed. Wherever the president embraced desire, he immediately satisfied it. There was even an anecdote: once John had sex with a stripper in a closet.
Secrets of seduction
What can I say, power is always sexy! And if her representative is young, charming, with an open white-toothed smile, then why be surprised that women just went crazy over him ?! By the way, against the background of other rulers - wise and elderly - Kennedy greatly benefited due to his youth and energy. Rumors - rumors, but John really had a strong sexual potency. He considered sex a natural human need and did not want to limit himself in its quantity. He had no shortage of admirers. Women were attracted by the prospect of becoming the mistress of a young, charming president of a superpower. In the White House for these purposes there was even a special room with a cozy sofa, where assistants escorted the next beauties. And so that Kennedy's wife Jackie did not interfere with the president, he often sent her to a country estate.
Biographers estimate that John had more than one and a half thousand women. By the way, he was not the best lover - for Kennedy, there was only personal pleasure, and not the pleasure of a partner. However, one of his mistresses admitted: "Sex with the president is the most amazing 30 seconds of my life."
Alain Delon. Handsome Bad Boy
A romantic look, an ironic smile - a face made for sin. Millions of women around the world sighed as they looked at the portrait of the French sex symbol. Alain Delon and today for many remains the standard of male beauty. The actor never hid his vices - alcohol, connections with the mafia, crimes and dangerous relationships with women. And he admitted that he owes his achievements to the ladies. Amorous Alain could not live if his heart was empty. But even being associated with someone, he never remained faithful to his chosen one. Delon does not believe in monogamy, and he has free views on marriage. Official relations did not change his lifestyle in any way, he spent his leisure time in the company of fashion models and prostitutes. Alain was lucky - he came across smart women who forgave the actor for this “little” weakness. True, now the sex symbol has retired: in his 70s, Delon declares that women are evil. But evil is necessary and obligatory.
Secrets of seduction
The face of an angel and the soul of a devil is an explosive cocktail. And Alain Delon always knew it. The actor did not have to seduce anyone - the girls, smitten with the image of a hero-lover, hung themselves on him. And only then they noticed his second bottom, but they were not able to leave the "bad guy" - after all, evil is so attractive! Who did Allen love? In one interview, he suddenly burst out: "I would like to be loved the same way I love myself."
Pablo Picasso.Goddesses and mats for the maestro
.jpg)
Pablo Picasso is known not only for his ingenious paintings, but also for countless romantic adventures. “We Spaniards are mass in the morning, bullfighting in the afternoon and a brothel late in the evening,” Picasso often said. Short in stature, ugly and casually dressed - his appearance did not combine with the bright sexual charisma that he possessed. His women were always young and beautiful - Picasso believed that, living with another young beauty, he himself does not age. In communications was illegible. Any girl he liked became the artist's mistress. It could also be the wives of his close friends, sometimes even with their permission. The artist did not bypass his muses either - he often had affairs with models who constantly replaced each other.
Secrets of seduction
All the girls of Paris dreamed that the great Picasso would pay attention to them. After all, to become the muse of the maestro himself meant to receive confirmation of his beauty and - neither more nor less - to get into eternity! Who would turn down such a chance?! And for Picasso himself, women were divided into two types: "goddesses" and "floor mats." At first, he perceived them as celestials, and after parting, they turned into these same rugs for him. He destroyed everything that reminded him of past relationships, and easily deleted them from his life. His last wife was 27, and the aging Picasso was 72. The artist lived for 91 years and retained sexual potency until his last days.
Marlon Brando.Sex Savage: Try Everything!
.jpg)
Handsome, unpredictable, cruel and very loving, Marlon Brando wanted to try everything in life. His partners were both women and men - he did not distinguish between them. The castings of the films in which Brando starred were simple - he would take turns locking himself with the applicants in a hotel room and “based on the results of the interview” he decided whether the young lady would suit the role.
Fans literally tore him to pieces, but the actor was attracted to girls of exotic blood. Marlon believed that there was no falsehood in them, that such - like himself - were closer to nature. What is surprising: the actor's love affairs often ended in the birth of children. The number of illegitimate offspring of Brando was so great that even he himself could not count them. Officially recognized only 11, five of which were born in legal marriages. And recently there were rumors that Courtney Love is his granddaughter.
In his old age, the actor squared the girls along with another famous womanizer and his neighbor Jack Nicholson. When Brando was already well over 70, eight women in various positions lived in his house, and all of them were his constant mistresses!
Secrets of seduction
The actor had primal instincts all his life. He took women by force, almost by force. And they liked his animal magnetism. Each of them dreamed of being in the clutches of a real savage. Brando was a skilled seducer, he magnetized women who were ready to do anything for him. For him, romance was an empty phrase, he did not court, did not give flowers and gifts. After sex, he could get up, get dressed and leave without saying a word, and return a few days later, as if nothing had happened.
Despite his dislike of white girls, he had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and described it as "every American soldier's dream come true." It was sex with a touch of extreme: they often made love in a car at full speed, risking flying off a cliff.
But be that as it may, one statement completely rehabilitates his consumer attitude towards ladies: “You need to spend no more than half an hour a day with a woman. But in these half an hour you have to give yourself to her 100%.
Marlene Dietrich. Outrageous queen
.jpg)
In the life of Marlene Dietrich, romances with men and women followed one after another. Jean Gabin, Erich Maria Remarque, Greta Garbo, Ernest Hemingway, Kirk Douglas, Edith Piaf. She shamelessly crossed the line between the sexes, spoke openly about her lesbian relationships and added men's things to her wardrobe. Therefore, back in the 20s of the last century, it became the standard of the sexual revolution and freedom.
Marlene began her sexual life as a schoolgirl. According to some reports, the number of her lovers and mistresses has exceeded one thousand. For Dietrich, there were no prohibitions. She usually met directors and producers in a transparent negligee. Without problems, she could cohabit with her husband's mistress. On the day, the actress had 2-3 dates, which ended in bed comforts. In her memoirs, Dietrich wrote that in men she only likes hands and lips, and everything else is an application.
Secrets of seduction
Marlene was amazing! Another such woman or actress then (and even more so now!) simply did not exist! She had unique relationships with men - she never threw tantrums, was not capricious, it was always possible to negotiate amicably with her. And this angel woman (a vamp woman, a woman with a steel rod - you can continue the series) did not let anyone close to her. After parting, the ex-lovers became her true friends. They left Marlene with delight, enjoying the fact that there was such a bright and extraordinary woman in their life.
Isadora Duncan.Barefoot Aphrodite
The progenitor of the striptease, Isadora Duncan, was a strong opponent of marriage. The principle of the dancer was simple: love and marriage are different things, and you should not mix them. Therefore, she easily left her men. And she knew how to choose them: bohemian handsome men, heirs of millions of fortunes, just machos and one Russian poet shared the bed with her ...
Wherever Isadora came, a train of scandals and novels stretched behind her. And once she was even arrested for her "obscene" behavior on stage and too revealing costume. Already in adulthood, she fell in love with the golden-haired Sergei Yesenin and became his wife. The poet loved and hated her, read poetry to her and hit her in the face, but he could not tear himself away from the fatal beauty.
Secrets of seduction
Liberated and eccentric, Isadora was a supporter of free love. Her deafening romances with married men were discussed in society for months. Duncan loved to shock the audience. She went against all the prohibitions of that time, appeared on stage barefoot and practically naked - her body was covered only by a thin tunic. Isadora captivated the audience with erotic dances of her own invention, which were based on passion that came from within. Her performances always evoked a storm of emotions from the audience, she received a standing ovation in the best salons in London and Paris. Isadora invited the man she liked to her place and arranged a private dance, which ended with another dance - already in bed. It was rumored that Duncan had such long sex marathons that in the evening on stage the dancer could hardly move.
Mata Hari. Adventurer's Love

Volcanic temperament did not allow Margaret Zella to remain a modest wife of an officer. She openly cheated on her husband, and danced the cancan at social events. Leaving her family, Mata Hari went to Paris. She developed her own version of oriental dances, flavored with erotic movements.
A lover of mist, she wrote her own biography and became a princess from the island of Java, raised by Buddhist monks. Glory came to Mata Hari when she was already 38.
But she looked so seductive that the men jumped up when the dancer entered the stage.

Elizabeth Taylor.Sex attractions
.jpg)
She became the first actress whose fees amounted to millions of dollars. But the attention of the audience is attracted not so much by the acting work of Elizabeth Taylor, but by her appearance and numerous novels and marriages. The personal life of the actress was constant food for gossip.
Already at the age of 17, she had an affair with billionaire Howard Hughes. And the first husband was the owner of the famous hotel chain Nick Hilton. But Liz was not going to be an exemplary wife - a few months later, the lovers fled. This was only the beginning of a series of her marriages. Taylor developed a formula for herself, according to which divorce is a disease that can be cured by a new wedding. Rumor has it that in April of this year, Taylor, 78, secretly got engaged to a man who is almost 30 years her junior. This is her ninth marriage, although the actress herself declines to comment.
Secrets of seduction
Liz's violet eyes, high breasts and wasp waist drove men crazy. Although to be honest, the beauty herself adored carnal pleasures. She never hid that she loves to eat tasty and hearty food, drink hard and indulge in bodily pleasures. By the way, the actress was treated more than once for gluttony and alcoholism. But is it possible to cure the craving for pleasure?
Liz's most passionate romance was with her husband number 5 and 6 - Richard Burton (her partner in the film "Cleopatra"). They were called the sex attraction of the decade. With bated breath, the public watched the stormy scandals and no less stormy reconciliations. The couple did not hide and gladly showed everyone their love. In bed, Liz was very active and inventive. Barton admitted that Taylor is the most insatiable lover he knew.
Lila Brik. Socialite in Soviet style
.jpg)
This is truly a woman of mystery! She was not a beauty, but as soon as a more or less charming man got into her field of vision, he immediately found himself at Lily's feet. True, contemporaries claimed that Lilya Yuryevna had an imperious character and vivid sexual charisma. She was one of those ladies who are not able to obey someone's will. Brik could only subdue. She never cared social status men: she didn't care if he had a legal wife or a lover. All her life she was guided by the slogan: “Only me! Everything for me!"
Most literary critics and lovers of poetry still cannot forgive her cruel treatment of Vladimir Mayakovsky. He literally languished in love - and at the same time she was going on a secret date with others ... Nevertheless, even the young Yves Saint Laurent was captivated by Lily, although then she was already a deeply elderly lady. He gave her jewelry, clothes and painted three portraits of her. Rumor has it that Lilya Yurievna passed away voluntarily - because of unhappy love ...
Secrets of seduction
Brik herself described her power over the opposite sex as follows: “You need to inspire a man that he is wonderful or even brilliant, but that others do not understand this,” she said. - And allow him what they do not allow him at home. For example, smoking or driving wherever you like. Good shoes and silk underwear will do the rest.” But to believe her words is to deceive yourself: in addition to silk and French perfumes, Lilya Brik was very fond of carnal pleasures. But for some reason she did not consider it necessary to talk about it - and so she created a legend about her magnetic charm.
