The Marquess Of Bath And His 74 Women
Normally I don’t link to this sort of squalid tabloid fare, but…
It’s important to remember, the rich are not like you and me.
Consider the Marquess of Bath. He has a wife, who conveniently lives “overseas” most of the time. He’s got a 10,000 acre spread with a mansion on it. He’s worth 160 million pounds. He’s 79 years old. And he’s got 74 girlfriends, although he only keeps a few of the favorites in cottages on the premises.
Not for nothing do they call him “The Loins of Longleat.” Man has a “famously obscene” Kama Sutra room in his house. And when his girlfriends get to bickering, or even fighting, he just turns off his hearing aid and suggests a game of chess.
Oh yes, and he’s known for swallowing whole mackerel at parties. What a charmer!
The next time somebody tries to tell you money isn’t an aphrodisiac? Laugh at them, please.

This only seems to be evidence of that if we assume that availability and arousal are the same thing.
For those who despise the Mail for their homophobic, sex-negative, anti-science etc. stance, there is a proxy that enables one to enjoy the juicy parts without giving them any additional page views: istyosty.com/tmp/cache/a6640bf060c98e8a1ce6d262bd886f8cb7c70612.html
Back in 1978 My wife and I visited Britain, and our tour to Bath took us by the Marquesse’s stately home, Longleat. It was fabulous, filled with amazing decorations and architecture. I particulatly remember the ballroom with foot-wide panels of Wedgewood Jasperware scenes mounted in the ceiling. However, we were NOT shown the Kama Sutra room. who can I contact for a refund?
Vinnie: As aphrodisiac can be defined (quoting my dictionary here) as “A thing that causes excitement”, I think money qualifies, unless I’m the only one who finds 160 million pounds -exciting-.
Note to Anne Onymous:
I suppose if I were being totally honest, 160 million pounds does sound a bit exciting. In my mind (as a dude), I fantasize that it’s attached to an exciting millionairess though, due to Hollywood conditioning.
TV, film, and paperback novels even have exciting wealthy villains. But if I attach all that money to a truly despicable person, a foolish person, or someone who is just totally gross, then the money fails to qualify as an enticement to have sex with that person.
Surely you would find SOME things totally unacceptable.
I myself have severed romantic relationships with more than one female millionaire in my lifetime, and in NO case was it to step up to a woman with more money. In fact in most of the cases when I left them, my next relationship was with women with literally no savings at all…
That’s called standards, my good doctor, and not everyone has them.
Besides, I find wealthy villains to be quite exciting indeed.
