Alexander VI: The pope who indulged in sexual orgies and kept mistresses


Can you imagine sexual orgies in Vatican City and that too being organized by the greatest torch bearer of Christian religion, the pope himself? It indeed is true and the pope in question was Alexander VI. His two dominant passions were greed of gold and love of women and he had many mistresses.He led an immoral life, and indulging in the chase, dancing, stage plays and indecent orgies with prostitutes.

The most famous of these sexual orgies was Banquet of Chestnuts. In these orgies the servants kept score of each man's orgasms, for the pope greatly admired virility and measured a man's machismo by his ejaculative capacity.
