The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People Read Online Free PDF

16-year-old girl with whom he initiated an affair. Later, unwilling to forgo any new sexual experiences, he indulged in more than one homosexual encounter. Bragadin, Casanova’s adoptive father, may have been a pederast. And in Russia Casanova exchanged “tokens of the tenderest friendship, and swore eternal love” with the beautiful, androgynous Lieutenant Lunin.
    LESBIANS AND VOYEURS: “C.C.” (Casanova usually concealed the identity of his lovers) was a 15-year-old who, relieved of her virginity by Casanova, was locked up by her father in the convent at Murano. While visiting her there Casanova caught the eye of Mother “M.M.,” a beautiful young nun with a very catholic libido, who proposed an assignation at her lover’s casino. Their first coupling was staged for the voyeuristic pleasure of M.M.’s lover, Abbé François de Bernis, France’s ambassador to Venice, who was observing them from a hidden chamber. On another occasion, C.C. was persuaded to join M.M. and Casanova. M.M. and C.C. began by exploring “the mysteries of Sappho.” Then “all three of us,” Casanova wrote, “intoxicated by desire … and transported by continual furies, played havoc with everything visible and palpable … freely devouring whatever we saw and finding that we had all become of the same sex in all the trios which we performed.”
    Another nun, also referred to as M.M., later seduced a 12-year-old boarder at a French convent for Casanova’s pleasure. By demonstrating the manual technique of verifying virginity, Casanova aroused the child to perform fellatio. She
    “sucked the quintessence of my soul and my heart,” Casanova related in his memoirs. The entire encounter took place through the grating which separated the nuns from the visitors.
    INCEST: “I have never been able to understand how a father could tenderly love his charming daughter without having slept with her at least once,” wrote Casanova, having discovered the pleasures of incest. He had fallen in love with Leonilda, the mistress of a homosexually inclined duke, only to find that she was his daughter by Lucrezia, with whom he had enjoyed copulating marathons 17
    years earlier. Leonilda personally observed her parents’ reenactment of her conception, undressing (“saying that as her father I was entitled to see all my handiwork”), and even taking part somewhat in their lovemaking. The relationship between father and daughter was consummated, nine years later, when Leonilda was married to an impotent old marquis and Casanova fathered her son.
    SEX FOR FUN AND PROFIT: Casanova had a sense of humor about sex, as evidenced by his affair with “Mlle. X.C.V.” (Giustiniana Wynne). Since the lady was already pregnant, his motives were initially honorable—to help her obtain an abortion. All else having failed, he tried a cure from cabalistic literature: the “aroph of Paracelsus,” a concoction which was to be applied to the mouth of the uterus, by means of an object 6 to 7 in. in length, when the subject was in a state of sexual arousal. Casanova was convulsed with laughter when the moment arrived, but soon recovered enough to achieve repeated penetration if not the abortion.
    Casanova’s most elaborate episode of sexual charlatanry involved the widowed Marquise d’Urfé, a rich eccentric whose consuming passion was to be reborn as a male child. He proposed first to impregnate personally an “angelic virgin” with a son, into whom the marquise would breathe her soul. But the “virgin” proved to be more of a trollop, and Casanova was forced to consider the necessity of procreating with the elderly marquise. This would of course require aid and inspiration from a “divine spirit” in the person of Marcoline, actually a lesbian nymphomaniac. Marcoline arrived dressed all in green, with a note in invisible ink introducing her as a water sprite, adept at certain ceremonial ablutions. The marquise failed to bear the desired male child, but she was
