In the 18th century, Catherine II great was the Empress of Russia, whose rule led to the modernization of the Russian Empire.

But the history of her sexual life is filled with awkward yet erotic things.

Catherine had sexual relationships with many male lovers throughout her life. She used some of her lovers just for her political gain.

And many of them were relatively younger, and she used to fulfill her sexual desire and fantasies.

In addition, she also had multiple relationships with Russian nobles.

She was always having allegations such as libertine and nymphomaniac(slut). For her sexual fantasies, she had a wide collection of erotic furniture.

Have a look at her collection:

There is also one legend that Catherine ordered one erotic cabinet for her suite of rooms.

Her furniture was highly eccentric and carved out penises, vulvae, and erotic art. There were some statues of naked men and women, in some erotic artifacts which were brought from Pompeii.

During the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1940, two Wehrmacht officers saw those rooms.

Both of the Wehrmacht officers filed a report later, but yet no report has been ever found, even no other records found during WWII other than the aforementioned legend.

There are many sayings as well that all her sex and erotic stories were fabricated after her death as another bawdy tale.

She was also called “Messalina of the Neva”, while some called her the name ‘nymphomaniac’.

Her love for pornographic furniture remained unconditional.

Her Death

Her death remained a mystery. According to history, there are two stories that probably were the causes of her death:

  1. She died while having sex with a horse:
    As an urban legend claims that she was having sexual intercourse with a horse, and suddenly the harness was broken, and the horse crushed her.

This incident took place in 1796 when She was 67 years old at that time.

2. She died of a stroke in her bathroom:
One legend claims that when she sat on her toilet seat, the seat broke, and she collapsed in the bathroom with a stroke.

Later one day on her bed, she took her last breath.

There is also a version that existed that she was assassinated very cleverly, by hiding spring blades in the toilet seat.
