A new biography claims Warren Beatty slept with 13,000 women—placing him beneath Fidel Castro and Wilt Chamberlain, but above Jack Nicholson and Charlie Sheen. VIEW OUR GALLERY.
For many A-listers, sleeping around comes as naturally as receiving a huge paycheck. Some have serious game—like Wilt Chamberlain, whose claim that he bedded 20,000 women inspired a sketch on In Living Color, and others, like Magic Johnson, were merely hitting the sheets to live up to their names. Combing through quotes, sources, and interviews with the infamous men leads to a list of men with astonishing career statistics. The usual suspects are all there: Porn stars, rock stars, Hugh Hefner—who bedded thousands of bunnies since founding Playboy in 1953. But money and status aren’t all it takes to woo the ladies—an unknown hotel porter at the Venetian in Las Vegas has reportedly slept with 8,000 women. (It probably helps to have instant access to suites.)
Tabloids are quick to christen the next generation of young Casanovas, but the modern-day prospects are looking a little thin. No less a stud than John Mayer recently admitted, “I should be having sex with more girls.”

You forgot author Georges Simenon, creator of fictional detective Maigret. Conquests: at least 10,000 women.

Gross. That's exactly why when a pro basketball player approached me at a club one night, he was told to keep it moving. I don't care how famous you are. No amount of money is worth VD. Eww.

I wonder if women ever consider that at least in part some of the behavior of Neanderthal males is a result of what OTHER WOMEN have agreed to do for and with these men. For every man cheating on his wife...there is a woman or women cheating on her too and these hussies are sooo willing to play the role as an easy piece...guys come to believe all women will behave that way given the chance. That observation is not to give a pass to IDIOT MEN!

Now how, you might be wondering, did the book's author, Peter Biskind, calculate all of Warren's sexual activities? Well, it was as simple as 1, 2, 3, or so the New York Post reports: "Using simple arithmetic...12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on."
What a maroon! Is Biskind talking about separate acts of intercourse, with a different woman each and every time? Say again? A completely different woman for each act of intercourse or "stolen kiss?" Are women, to Beatty, like toilet paper--use once and flush--or might he have had more than one act of intercourse with any given woman? I guess Biskind is counting on readers being incapable of rational thought or even basic arithmatic skills, for that matter. Next!

Well they were all up for it! whatever......humans are just monkeys without the fur!

Genghis Khan would have been a fun one to put on there. I don't know how the math works (i.e. how many conquered women that would cover), but I have seen estimates of 16% of the present-day male population of Asia carrying a Y-chromosome from the Khan.

You mean "Greatest Sluts of All Time" don't you?

Why do they use like conquest, conquered. That turns me off.
That said, only a fool would believe women are ever conquered.
Look at the Woods case. Look what that cost him. Why not go in the bathroom and close your eyes, it is probably more fun and of course safer.
I am kidding of course.

I meant use Words.

OK...Beatty, Chamberlain etc were all with women who wanted to be with them. Castro on the other hand RAPED 2 women a day for 40 years. Probably making him the most prolific rapist of all time...certainly not a stud or lover by any definition.

Pffft. I'm 59 and exceeded Casanova's 130. The only man in that profile that appeals to me is Nicholson. Beatty was beautiful but doesn't have the charm that Jack does. I was at the viewing of his directorial debut, Drive He Said, and if I weren't with a writer from Rolling Stone, I may have flirted with him. I don't know that he would have responded, but I got a lot of attention in those days. They were fun and wild and I've never regretted any of it, nor do I have any shame.

Ah youth, divine treasure, where have you gone? LOL

It would take Beatty 35 years to bed 12,775 women. He didn't marry until he was in his 60's. It's possible, he could have also slept with more than one at a time. He was quite the lothario.
Thank you.
