If you think that the sex scandals may be involved only the stars, athletes and politicians, it is strongly mistaken.People who have left a trace in history, too, were not angels.

By Albert Einstein.

I must say the most innocent in this list. The greatest minds of the XX century, of course, most loved science and only science. Well, after her - everything that moves, and what is wearing a skirt. He was married twice (once to his cousin), and honestly cheated on both wives. Although, I must say in his defense, his first wife, he presented a list of rules which was the point of that she did not expect him "no intimacy, no loyalty." Before marrying his cousin, Elsa, it was almost bound himself by marriage with her 22-letneydocheryu. In general, it pereimel, honestly, almost all of his female relatives. After that, took up his secretary, then a maid, then ... you get the idea, a scientist trying to prove his theory of relativity, the most banal way. How many women he can enter in the books about eternity.
Mozart. One of the greatest musicians in the history of mankind has been obsessed with excrement. Although, I must admit that he started composing music at age 5, when the average child is still poorly understand the difference between an asshole and a finger. So wrote Wolfgang Amadeus 600 with something tomuzykalnyh works, as well as a bunch of letters to his cousin, where quite frankly admitted that he wants to "defecate on her face." Besides the fact that this young genius gave the world "A Little Night Music," "40th Symphony", and, of course, the "Requiem", and he created a product that is referred to as «Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schon sauber» (for the unknowing German - "vylizhi my ass good and clean.")

Mahatma Gandhi. It is easy to be a poor man, but how easy is it for this to be chaste and well? In Gandhi, we can say there was a tragedy in his life: the moment when he had sex with his wife in an adjoining room, his father died. And so it happened, or rather happened in my head Gandhi, that the spirit of his father flew it at the time of Gandhi, an orgasm. After that, the chief ideologue of the movement for independence of India decided to observe penance. That is, literally - live in poverty, do not spoil your karma and bad thoughts do not have sex. In general. Mahatma practiced celibacy in his most unusual way: as you know, he had many followers and followers, who gladly would offer him my body. Gandhi used a set of exercises that, looking at the naked dancing women do not experience sexual arousal. In fact, he arranged for his training in one of the largest mirestrip clubs. Excuse him only one thing - going on for free. He and his followers who practiced "seksualnuyune-activity", without paying a penny.

James Joyce. Ireland's greatest writer and the surrounding area, the pioneer of modernist literature, the creator of such masterpieces as "Portrait of the artist as a young man," "Dubliners" and, of course, not all osilennogo, but they are not less significant, "Ulysses" was very fond of unconventional sex. Not in the sense - with individuals of the same sex, and with, excuse the non-literary, farting. Being away from home, he loved to write long and frank letter to his wife, Nora. If not for them, mankind would never have learned that the classic literature of this most loved Nora "strongly fuck fat between the thighs and powerfully pernut in the face." Once again, sorry. Those who wish to become more familiar with his writing masterpieces, clicking here (knowledge of English - mandatory). The next time you write an essay on the works of Joyce, not loud giggle.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The greatest French writer, philosopher and thinker of the 18th century, and what really there to talk, at all times. Read at least his "reasoning" if shirk from that in the schools. Always purified in this refer to his autobiography. I must say, very entertaining. From which we, for example, we learn that in order to achieve sexual arousal great Frenchman was to be spanked, but even better - to be flogged. "He who loves well punishes" - writes the inventor of direct democracy. It also admits that this very strange feature has laid his own governess, spanking a child as a child of any offense.

Benjamin Franklin. The politician, diplomat, statesman, scientist and inventor, forever imprinted on the 100-dollarovoykupyure, partying with the elderly ladies. No, really old. In the mistress he chose a woman to 20-30, even 40 years older than himself. Why he chose a lover old women, even though he was a zealous defender of the institution of marriage? Because, as he wrote in a letter to a friend, "They have more experience, they are more intelligent and restrained, the best kept secret and not raise suspicions of adultery. As for the fact that below the belt - you never can not tell a young woman from the old. "From which it follows that he did not care to sleep with someone, but he's still a preference given to those who have the expertise and cooking skills.

Caligula. The third dynasty of Julian, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, also known by the nickname Caligula. They say that he began to decline of the great Roman Empire. Although, of course, like Nero, he did not mention (that are known to burn Rome, and committed adultery with her own mother - or, rather, she is with him), Caligula succeeded in its short but very fun board to make the imperial palace into a brothel. Naturally. Everyone out there serving the wives and daughters of senators, the money went to the treasury. Good or bad? Definitely - have fun. Against this background, dazhekak tobledneet and becomes uninteresting fact that he slept with his sister. It also periodically married brides of their military commanders. Just to annoy those.

The Marquis de Sade. The crown of this list. Donasen Alfonso Francois de Sade, a French aristocrat, novelist and philosopher, became famous thanks to the fact that absolute freedom was a preacher, not restricted nor morality, nor religion, nor right, but the satisfying the aspirations of the individual. At a time when the show's knee, caught in a stocking, it was considered top of immorality, the Marquis de Sade wrote about such things, from which even the modern man hair stands on end. For what, indeed, his and planted. It is true that immediately afterwards, as he emerged from the dark dungeons, he organized in his castle paradise for perverts, sexual slaves settled there either sex for pleasure. Nastoyaschiyseks-lock true idiot. Spent in prison and nuthouse a total of 32 years, the Marquis de Sade gave the world the term "sadism" and explained that the pleasure itself can deliver, someone lashing whip.
