    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2003/mar/02/science.research
    One in every 200 men alive today is a relative of Genghis Khan. An international team of geneticists has made the astonishing discovery that more than 16 million men in central Asia have the same male Y chromosome as the great Mongol leader.

    It is a striking finding: a huge chunk of modern humanity can trace its origins to Khan's vigorous policy of claiming the most beautiful women captured during his merciless conquest.

    'One thirteenth century Persian historian claimed that within a century of Khan's birth, his enthusiastic mating habits had created a lineage of more than 20,000 individuals,' said team leader Dr Chris Tyler-Smith. 'That now appears to account for around 8% of the men in central Asia.'

    The team, from Britain, Italy, China and Uzbekistan, took tissue samples from 2,000 men from central Asia, and studied each one's Y chromosome, the genetic package that confers maleness and is passed only from father to son.

    'Y chromosomes belonging to different men vary slightly. One in every 5,000 DNA units is not the same,' said Tyler-Smith. 'But when we looked at our results, we found a huge group that did not show any differences. We were absolutely amazed.'

    One researcher, Tatiana Zerjal, even suggested they had found the genetic footprint of Khan. 'It was just a joke,' added Tyler-Smith. 'Then we began to look more closely at our results, and realised it was the only really feasible explanation for what we had found.'

    First the team, whose results are published in the latest edition of the American Journal of Human Genetics, found the geographical spread of possessors of the chromosomes almost exactly matched that of Genghis's empire, which stretched from China to the Middle East. Then they discovered that all of these men shared a common ancestor. Again the answer was consistent with the march of Khan, who lived between 1162 and 1227.

    'There are only two ways a single Y chromosome can make such a mark on a population,' Tyler-Smith said. 'The chromosome could in some way confer its owners with some biological advantage. But given that a Y chromosome is little more than a biochemical switch that turns an embryo into a male child, it is hard to see how it could have such an effect.

    'The other explanation is that its original possessor had some incredible social advantage over other Y chromosome possessors, allowing its owner to pass it on, over and over again. Khan fits that bill perfectly. He had many wives, and was enthusiastic in his attentions to other women.

    When Mongol armies attacked, their spoils were shared among the troops and officers, with one exception. The most beautiful women were reserved for Khan.

    The Men of Paraguay. In 1865 they went to war against Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina with a pre-war population of 525,000 people, 5 years of war later the population dropped to 221,000 of which only 28,000 were male. Paraguay present population is 6.3 million so a good few lads had to pull extra shifts.

    Our own Niall of the Nine Hostages is one of the most fecund male lines in the world.

    AFAIR Casanova wasn't that much of a womaniser. As far as numbers go anyway. IIRC he only slept with about 20 women?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    To be honest Henry VIII wasn't that much of a womaniser. Yes he had five wives but I don't think he had many affairs outside of his marriages??? 5 women isn't a large numebr to have slept with. I might be wrong though.

    Rapists like Niall don't qualify as womanizers.

    Flynnt and Hefner pay women to have sex with them which disqualifies them as true womanizers.

    Eh, it was 6 wives. remember:
    Divorced
    Beheaded
    Died
    Divorced
    Beheaded
    Survived

    I think thats the right order.

    Catherine of Aragon was an arrange marriage.
    Anne Boleyn only married him to advance the reformers, she cheated on him and he murdered her.
    Jane Seymour was a submissive baby machine who died in childbirth.
    Anne of Cleves was a horse to quote Henry.
    Kathryn Howard was a teenage girl who also cheated on him.
    Katherine Parr was forced to marry him and was probably cheating on him too.

    Henry VIII was a rapist at best and a serial killer at worst.

    He doesn't qualify.

    Womanizers get woman to fall in love with them willingly and get their sex using their charm as currency not money.

    They use wit, poetry, playful insults, back-handed compliments and self-depreciating humor.

    Most importantly is being comfortably sexual at all times.

    *pedant alert* :DTechnically/legally there was only two wives, or if you were the pope at the time four. He had a couple of papal annulments so legally by that defintion he wasn't married in the first place. So Catherine of Aragon and Catherine parr were the only two actual legal marriages he had. The only two marriages where he was largely happy. Well ann of cleves he may have divorced/annulled, but he liked her enough not to chop her head off and indeed made her his "beloved sister" among the court.

    I would agree the Henry was a teeewat of the highest order. A petulant egotistical and pretty damned stupid oaf. Rapist? No, don't really see it. The women he bedded were only too happy to climb on board. At first. Serial killer? Not even close. He was driven by the need for progeny as all rulers were at the time and at the time "barreness" was assumed to be the womans fault. IT seems oul henry was shooting blanks or his bullets didnt go far. Though his one heir that did make it was one of the more clued in and smart monarch the English ever had. Lizzy the first.

    Oh, strangely enough wasn't Mussolini notorious for the amount of women he slept with?? Apparently he could go through three a day when he was stressed :eek:. The women weren't forced either, apparently he was quite the charmer.

    Another Italian, Antonio Cassano, has quite a reputation although how much is true is a different story.
    With food and sex Cassano doesn’t joke around. He talks about his important stories (”Four girlfriends in 11 years is a low number“) and the rest (”To summarize, I had a few other adventures. Let’s say that between the 600 and 700 women I’ve been with, around 20 were from the show business world“). And then: “Many times I played great games right after having sex. Go look at Roma-Juve 4-0. I had sex at six in the morning that Sunday, with one of the many ‘friends’ I had at that time. In Madrid it was even easier, because we were in a hotel, the whole squad and staff on one floor, so on the floors above or below you could invite whoever you wanted to meet you during the night. I made friends with one of the waiters. His job was to bring me 3 or 4 cornetti after I had sex. He would bring the cornetti to the stairs, I would bring the girl and we would make a trade: he took the girl, I stuffed myself with cornetti. Sex plus food, the perfect night“.

    I think that discussing 'techniques', as it were is probably relevant, at least in so far as the only common definition of 'womanizers' here has been that they have had sex with many women - by that logic, Peter Sutcliffe would likely qualify.

    Even characters like Henry VIII really cannot really be considered, because the option to refuse his advances never really existed for those women he took a shine to.

    If we narrow it, at least to consensual sex, albeit engendered with deceptive seduction techniques, then you probably would get a more agreeable list.
