3 Simple Steps to
Be a Cleopatra in
the Bedroom

“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, But she makes hungry Where she most satisfies.”

Antony & Cleopatra

1. CHOOSE WISELY You don’t need to have sex with a lot of men, just the right men. According to her biographer, Cleopatra only slept with two men. Thousands of years of gossip and scandalous rumors, and only two men! Of course, they were Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, both powerful (and married) Romans. But the queen chose wisely: one for power and one for love.

2. BUY REALLY GOOD SHEETS According to historians, Cleopatra used to wrap herself in bed linens and then have the bundle delivered to Mark Antony to unwrap. (So much classier than the naked-under-the-raincoat trick.) While you might not have the household staff to pull off a Wrap and Deliver, you can spend a few bucks on good sheets.

3. MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOUR MAMA GAVE YOU Experts agree that Cleopatra was no great beauty, but she managed to pretty much define female sexual power for thousands of years. How? She worked it. Charisma and confidence, ladies, are the most powerful aphrodisiacs.
