Mistresses, lovers, love and murder
Ten Greatest Lovers in History
1. King Solomon - Had 300 wives & hundreds of mistresses
2. Cleopatra - Took her first lover at age 12 and could allegedly take dozens of lovers a night
3. Empress Theodora - Took dozens of lovers each day
4. Queen Zingua - Had her lovers killed in the morning when she was through with them 5. Giovana Giacomo Cassanova - Seduced thousands of women, over 100 of them are recorded
6. Catherine The Great - An insomniac, consequently taking hundreds of lovers
7. Marquis De Sade - Sadism is a term we get from his name, was put in an asylum for all his sex crimes
8. Mae West - Had an active sex life until her 80s, and had one lover that lasted for 15 hours
9. Mata Hari - Spy who slept her way to war secrets to kill over 50, 000 soldiers
10. Bridget Bardot - Admitted that she "Must have a man every night"
Of the women lovers, Queen Zingua had piqued my interest the most. Why did she have her lovers killed? There aren't any supporting documents or research about this, just that she had them killed. Maybe it was due to poor performance? She once said that "the lame best perform the act of love". Pity. Now it's not about physical but emotional disability. Kung puede lang papatay ang mga emotionally incapacitated di ba?
Cleopatra on the other hand, wasn't really as pretty as the books would like us to believe. In fact, she had a hooked nose and a high forehead (according to anthropologists). It was her charm, wit and intelligence that did Caesar and Antony in. (Shet, sabi ko na nga ba eh, ako ang reincarnation ni Cleo!) She did start young (12 years old pare! Tindi sa pagiging katherine nito!) and she did use sex as a powerful weapon. She learned all the things she needed to learn when it came to lovemaking and was never ashamed to use it.
It really is all about sex. Sex rules the world, not money.
