  Who is he?

  It’s Benjamin Franklin, one of America's Founding Fathers, who was also an inventor and a diplomat.

  Why is he famous?

  Franklin had numerous accomplishments, including strengthening US ties with foreign nations as ambassador, furthering the knowledge of electricity, and spearheading the US Post Office as its postmaster general. He also put his signature is on the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the United States.

  So, why is he a pervert?

  He liked old women as mistresses. He was really into it. He also got around quite a bit and was pretty darn liberal for his time.

  In this letter, Franklin describes in detail to his friend why he should pick old ladies over younger ones if he chooses to engage in adultery.

  The entire time, he still vows that marriage is a much more positive and beneficial union, but he offers no reasoning and instead offers proof on why old women are sexy, like this:

  Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion...

  So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one.

  He also had an illegitimate son, William, who became the royal governor of New Jersey before being exiled to Britain, due to his Loyalist tendencies.

  A few favorite fart quotes:

  [I]f I gave you a bigger stronger f**k than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I f**ked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole.

  We are not kidding. These are real quotes from one of literature's greatest voices:

  It is wonderful to f**k a farting woman when every f**k drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

  (#1) Marquis de Sade

  • Dec. at 74 (1740-1814)

  Who was he?

  Marquis de Sade was a French aristocrat, revolutionary, and writer. He's most famous for bringing explicit material to people in a time when showing off your ankles was scandalous.

  Why is he famous?

  Marquis de Sade became famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle (i.e., a person without moral restraint), but mostly for his suggestive novels. He also left the world with the practice of S&M. That's right, the man invented S&M. How? Well, first of all, it's named after him.

  The term "sadism" is based on Marquis de Sade: the idea of developing pleasure as a result of inflicting pain. "Masochism" is first seen in some of Sade's more Gothic-inclined sexual novels, where, for example, the female character is bound and tormented, but also fondled, and develops a kind of attraction to her tormentors. 

  So, why is he a pervert?

  Sade's tales include that time when he and his wife kept five young women and one young man captive in their house. For six weeks, Sade used his victims for sex. He would even lure young women from the surrounding village by drugging them with a "Spanish fly" aphrodisiac.

  He spent the last 13 years of his life in an insane asylum, before he perished in 1814.
• 

  (#2) Aleister Crowley

  • Dec. at 72 (1875-1947)

  Who was he?

  Aleister Crowley was a British writer, prophet, and magician, though not quite the bunny-in-a-hat type that most people love. The real kind. The kind that does a lot of drugs, doesn't shower, and makes love with people as part of his religion.

  Why is he famous?

  He was a well-known occultist. As the prophet of his new religion, Crowley developed Thelema, a polytheistic religion that ushered in the belief that its followers should follow their own "True Will" and neglect their ego. Basically, he was a famous almost-real-life-warlock who stirred up a bunch of people at a time when it was relatively easy to stir people up.

  Apparently, the faith follows the idea that the 20th century would usher in a new ethical code that would be followed: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

  So, why is he a pervert?

  Crowley not only founded a religion based on magick, but he also founded something called "Sexual Magick" which is basically just using climax and/or arousal (and sometimes fluids) as parts of a spell.
