I heard about a famous woman from history who was known for having kinky sexual practices (they wrote a book about her) (1800's?) and can't remember who she is. Anyone know?

It was Catherine the Great. She was rumored to have tried things with horses (which many thought caused her death) She also used her sexuality to influence people and get what she wanted."Catherine, throughout her long reign, took many lovers, often elevating them to high positions for as long as they held her interest, and then pensioning them off with large estates and gifts of serfs. After her affair with Grigori Alexandrovich Potemkin, he would select a candidate-lover for her who had both the physical beauty as well as the mental faculties to hold Catherine's interest (such as Alexander Dmitriev-Mamonov). Some of these men loved her in return: she had a reputation as a beauty by the standards of the day, and always showed generosity towards her lovers, even after the end of an affair."

At first, I thought you were talking about the 1900s, then I would have said Mae West. But in the 1800s....could it be Marie LaVeau? She was a voodoo mistress from New Orleans.....

This doesn't go back to the 1800's---only mid 1950's.

There was an ancient Greek woman named Sappho who lived on the island of Lesbos...This is where the word lesbian comes from. Sappho was a great poet and she loved women.

I heard Cleopatra was pretty kinky. That was way back in history, though. Maybe you're referring to Martha Washington.....(George always looked pretty happy....)

i think of that she replaced right into a very good individual who believed in God. for that reason, the guy who replaced into very alluring, replaced into no longer offering her, a extreme courting. together with his proposition, she ought to get to be attentive to him greater effectual whilst he wiped sparkling her domicile. It sounds like a win-win undertaking to me.

All that was gossip. My grandmother was simply a tap dancer.
