Who said history has to be dry, this is a hot story. Columbus took his childhood friend with him on his second voyage and here's what the friend wrote in his diary about one incident, Penthouse Forum style circa 1492.

"While I was in the boat, I captured a very beautiful Carib woman, whom the said Lord Admiral(Columbus) gave to me. When I had taken her to my cabin she was naked?as was their custom. I was filled with a desire to take my pleasure with her and attempted to satisfy my desire. She was unwilling, and so treated me with her nails that I wished I had never begun. But?to cut a long story short?I then took a piece of rope and whipped her soundly, and she let forth such incredible screams that you would not have believed your ears. Eventually we came to such terms, I assure you, that you would have thought that she had been brought up in a school for whores."

Somebody make this into a porn scene.
