History's 7 Most Astounding Sexual Resumes

The most frequently asked question among Cracked readers has to be, "Is it possible I'm having too much sex?"
Fortunately, some have made history by letting us know just how much sex is possible, seemingly dedicated to testing the very upper limits of human humping. Such as ...

#7.

Chuck Negron

The lead singer of Three Dog Night took sex where it was never meant to go. Being the lead singer of a band back in the '70s, it's no surprise Negron has probably experienced things the rest of us can barely comprehend, such as a $2,000-a-day drug addiction. He took it further, however. Much further. So far, in fact, that his penis exploded. No, we're not speaking figuratively.
While Gene Simmons can claim he's slept with a bajillion women, based on the recently released tape of his coitus, his medicated-bear approach to love making isn't going to strain him any time soon. Chuck Negron, on the other hand, presumably experiencing an entirely new plane of reality with the helping hand of massive amounts of cocaine, worked his crank with so many women and with such drug-fuelled ferocity that a doctor told him it had become the tumescent equivalent of a lucky pair of boxers. Sure you want to keep using it, but the edges are frayed and the material holding it together is mostly made up of your hopes and prayers more than any real atomic bonds. One more tumble through the wash and she's done for.
This horror is outlined in Negron's autobiography, the writing of which apparently means he retained his sanity after what has to be the most traumatic event possible in this universe.

But like any addict, or man with a penis for that matter, Negron couldn't resist. Unofficial sources say Chuck was working his magic on a Miss America contestant when his wand broke, so to speak. According to one blogger's account of his meeting with Negron, the words "a hot dog in the microwave" were used as a description. This in turn probably means the Miss America contestant may have had to be institutionalized because there's no way seeing a burst-open wang is something they're trained to deal with.
So was it all worth it? You'll have to ask Chuck.

Xaviera Hollander

Known as the Happy Hooker, Hollander is who Eliot Spitzer would have been paying $1,000 a night for if he'd been in the market back in the '60s. And given the state of inflation, that means today she'd be making over $6,000. That's some expensive whoring, but despite the high prices, Hollander stayed busy. Boy, did she.
A one-time secretary from Holland, she decided a desk job was for suckers and maybe banging strangers for cash would be a more lucrative trade. And since we all know Holland has no debauchery at all, she left for America.
Hollander was New York's top madam back in the late '60s and early '70s, and even wrote a book about her life selling her ass that was made into a movie. Eventually she acquired a job writing a column for Penthouse, worked as a phone sex operator and wrote several books that were mostly about fucking.

If there was a way to be filthy, she tried her hand and probably one or two other body parts at it.
Of course it should be noted that she lays claim to having had sex with hundreds if not thousands of males throughout her career, including her sister's husband. And if you still don't understand why she gets singled out on this list, it should be further noted that we said "males" and not "men" or even "humans" for a reason, as Hollander got to know a German Shepherd in ways even your leg would be embarrassed about.

Casanova

Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt is one of the most iconic man whores of all time. Known as one of the world's greatest lovers, he met popes, royalty, Voltaire and Mozart, probably leaving all of them wishing he'd given them a taste of his sweet, sweet love.
According to his autobiography he started his sexual life with something of a bang, losing his virginity at 16 to a pair of sisters who threw themselves at him. We're assuming that was the age Casanova decided he simply could no longer deny the world the benefits of his sexual superpowers.

And he was not a good-looking dude

Throughout his life he hopped all across Europe, partly for sport and partly because he got kicked out of nearly every city he went because he screwed more women than modern pay scales. More than once, his final act before leaving town was fighting a duel with someone over a woman he'd introduced to his penis. As a businessman he made and lost literal fortunes, amounts that would be in the millions today, because he had to continually pay off women who worked for him after some random night of debauchery or, once again, as a result of having to leave town due to various shenanigans he and his boner were up to.
Amongst his many conquests were a 14-year-old girl and a nun, who he reportedly had together at one point, we suspect after a friend bet him he couldn't do something sexually perverse enough to rip open a portal to Hell.

British actor David Tennant playing a pale, criminally unsexy Casanova

Later in life, after having his heart broken, Casanova is reported to have trained a parrot to say the girl was a bigger whore than her mother, before reselling it. Yes, Casanova basically took all those drunken lies we told at parties in college, and lived them for real.

John Holmes

"Johnny Wadd" was the porn star to end all porn stars. Appearing in over 2,500 flicks and inspiring films like Boogie Nights, Holmes was the Ron Jeremy of his time, only not as fat, hairy and horrifying. So not really like Ron Jeremy at all.
Discovered by a man at the next urinal staring at his package, Holmes started earning $3,000 a day for his movies by the late '70s. His claim to fame was having the dick that all other men merely claim to have. He once described it in a scholarly fashion as being "the size of two and one half 6-inch rulers" though his wife said it was closer to 10 inches. A woman can sense these things.
Holmes claimed to have had sex with 20,000 women, though he was known to be something of a bonehead and a liar who would often make up a story one day and recount it as truth the next. People with more of a reputation for honesty (and less of a reputation for sucking back as much cocaine as Holmes did) say the number was probably closer to 3,000, which for most people is still pretty impressive. Or disgusting. Really depends on one's outlook.

Altered photo: In original Holmes was not wearing Cracked.com brand underpants

As his drug habit forced him to start looking for creative new ways to make money, like prostituting himself to men and women and credit card fraud, he got caught up in some other illegal dealings, ended up in prison and eventually contracted HIV. He never told anyone in the industry about that, making him something of a giant douche.
There was even a rumor for a time that he had accidentally killed some dudes by having sex with them (due to his penis being the size of seven 2.1 inch rulers) and had been ordered by a judge never to have anal sex again.

A court psychologist diagnosed Holmes with antisocial personality disorder, which accounted for all the bullshit stories he told about himself, though maybe not for all the other ways he was a douchebag. It just goes to show that not every human flaw can be cured by having an enormous dong.

New Book Claims Hitler Gave Sex Dolls to Nazi Soldiers

Hulton / Getty

A new book reveals that Adolf Hitler ordered the manufacture of Aryan blow up dolls to discourage his troops from sleeping with disease-ridden prostitutes.
The so-called “Borghild Project” reportedly kicked off in 1940 when SS chief Heinrich Himmler wrote to Hitler alerting him of the health risks posed to his men by liaisons with French women. “The greatest danger in Paris is the widespread and uncontrolled presence of whores, picking up clients in bars, dance halls, and other places,” he wrote. “It is our duty to prevent soldiers from risking their health just for the sake of a quick adventure.”
(PHOTOS: Rare Pictures Inside Hitler’s Bunker)
Hitler gave Himmler’s plan the all-clear, and designers set to work creating a smaller-than-life doll dubbed a “gynoid.” Designers approached Hungarian actress Kathe von Nagy and asked if they could model the silicone doll on her. She refused. That inspired them to leave the doll’s face blank: they reasoned that soldiers were more likely to use the “comforters” if they could impart their own fantasies on them. Just in case the men needed a bit of inspiration, the Nazis gave their creation blue eyes and blond hair.

After extensive testing Himmler ordered 50 dolls for his own troops. But by 1942 the party leadership had pulled the cord on the project. Embarrassed soldiers refused to carry the “comforters,” and officers worried that their men would be mocked if captured by the enemy.  American and British forces likely destroyed the gynoid factories  during their bomb raids of Dresden.
(PHOTOS: Hitler exhibition opens in Germany)

Author Graeme Donald uncovered the sex toy operation while researching his book Mussolini’s Barber, a compilation of the most bizarre stories in military history. He made the discovery while retracing the footsteps of Americans Ruth and Elliot Handler, the inventors of the Barbie doll. They created their iconic toy after visiting Germany in 1956 and buying the Bild Lilli doll—an adult novelty item sold in German barber shops and nightclubs.
“While I was researching this I came across references to Nazi sex dolls and found out that Hitler had ordered them to be made,” Donald says. “As ever, more troops were laid low by disease than by bullets. Syphilis was a problem Hitler was aware of and he was rumored to have suffered from it himself.” (via the Sun)

ORIGINS OF CONDOMS

Condoms that we know today as one of the men apparently contraception has existed since thousands of years ago. Condoms are thought to have had a long history in the role of "protective equipment". Around 1000 BC, the ancient Egyptians were using safety gloves to prevent disease. Discovery of paintings on rock walls in a cave in Combrelles, France, describes man to wear a condom. The painting is estimated age of approximately a century BC. But experts are still difficult to ascertain what the paintings mean, part ritual or just a mere mode currents? The 1500's for the first published description and experimental tools disease prevention in the form of condoms in Italy. When was Gabrielle Fallopius claim to find condoms made of linen and make trials in 1100 men. From these experiments, none of those infected with the disease syphilis. The discovery proves that linen useful to prevent infection. But later on condom known as birth control. It beginning of the experiment the linen cloth moistened with liquid chemicals the 1500's. When linen soaked in chemicals and then dried and worn by men, so the cloth can kill sperm. Important milestone in the history of condoms began around 1640, coincided with the start of venereal disease known. First condom is used as an antidote to venereal disease. Condoms at the time it was made from fish or animal intestines. Traces of condoms was found among the ruins of the foundation Dudle Castle, near Birmingham, England. At that time the war arose between the followers of Oliver Cromwell and soldiers of King Charles I. The war that lasted a long time also involve women prostitutes. As a result, the soldiers had contracted venereal disease that weakens the force Attack forces. To prevent and reduce venereal disease, then the soldiers use protection. From now widely recognized that condoms in the community. Name of condoms supposedly derived from the name of a royal physician named Condom. By the physician, King Charles II made a "protective" Ã ¢ â, ¬?? derived from animal tissue to avoid venereal disease. Another version says the name comes from the condom "Dr. Condon" or someone named Colonel Cundum. While others say the condom comes from the Latin, meaning condon container. Opinion is what ultimately agreed to be the origin of the word condom. In the 18th century, known as a playboy Cassanova legendary, too wearing a condom. But at the time, condoms are worn by Cassanova was made of linen. Various types of condoms New rubber condom history begins in 1839. When was Charles Goodyear discover how a car tire vulcanization. In 1844, a patent condoms acquired by Charles Goodyear.Tahun 1894, Goodyear and Hancock began mass-produce condoms made of rubber with a reverse divulkanisasikan rough rubber into a strong elastic. In 1861, for the first time condom published in the U.S. in the newspaper The New York Times. Widespread use of condoms made of latex this only occurred in the 1930s. In 1935, 1.5 million condoms produced each day in the United States. Surprisingly, despite having available condoms are more comfortable, but there are not going to use it. Even 100 years later, between the 1940's until the 1950's are still made condoms made from sheep intestines. Once used, condoms made of sheep intestines that have been preserved are not immediately discarded. Condoms are washed again, covered with jelly, then stored in a wooden box. If the required return, the condom can be used directly. In the early 1900s, his career condoms as a protective belumberjalan smoothly. In the United States, the activists of the American Social Hygiene Association extend hard use. The reason is that if a person having sex with a prostitute, it is natural that he contracted venereal disease. A military official Navy argues, condom users only done by those who are immoral. Yet when the sailors sent to war, condoms secretly distributed by the assistant military officials. In 1933, it turns out the assistant was elected President of the United States and ruled for 12 years until he died in 1945. He was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Prestige of condoms began to fade after World War II. In the late 1960s there was a revolution in human sexual behavior, especially in America.

Although it is not the only way, the condom is relatively the most practical and easy to prevent HIV transmission. In the 1990's introduced condoms with color and fragrance different. At that time, for the first time available polyurethane condoms. In 1992 in Europe, introduced condoms to women known with femidom.
