The Bourbons and sex

Marta Cibelina

The Sphere of Books

The Bourbons, the dynasty that arrived in Spain in 1700, is the oldest in Europe. If the majority of Hugo Capet’s descendants have distinguished themselves for something, it has been because of their excessive fondness for practicing sex with an ease and interest that has given a lot of play to historians and novelists of all times.

“We are talking about one of the most endogamous dynasties in the history of mankind,” argues Marta Cibelina, author of the book. “Some of them carried the Bourbon surname up to six consecutive times. The predisposition to have a special fondness for sex is inherited, as can the tendency to addiction to drugs or curly hair. It goes in the package, said without second thoughts ”.

Marta Cibelina, with her great self-confidence, has invented in this book a new genre, the historical-sexual essay, in which she describes the real tastes in bed, her wants, her vices, her most passionate and eschatological anecdotes, her fantasies. … A playful and rigorous journey through the Bourbon underworld full of funny and unknown stories. The book collects an infinity of curiosities not counted until now, both from the current Bourbons and from the first members of the dynasty. “I was very shocked by the whole part referring to the direct ancestor of Felipe VI, Luis XIV, the Sun King, and especially the figure of Madame de Montespan, a kind of Corinna or Bárbara Rey from the 18th century”, confesses the author. “I was also very surprised to learn of the existence of a Valencian woman with whom Felipe VI was madly in love. And also knowing that King Juan Carlos, despite his advanced age, as someone who knows him has told me, continues to “function” perfectly despite the passing of the years.

“Knowing our history and that of humanity is vital so as not to become a herd that can be managed by the powerful,” he says.
