King Chou-hsin of the Shang dynasty (1558-1302 B.C.) has been represented as the first "playboy king" in Chinese history. He was said to be more than eight feet in height, the tallest man in his kingdom; he was described by one historian as a man "with a back as strong as that of a tiger and a waist comparable to that of a bear." He was said to kill tigers and leopards with his bare hands. Night after night, so it is said, he would cope with "ten healthy and strong women in a row" without any sign of contentment. One trick was to order a naked woman to entwine her legs round his waist: virtually supporting her on his erect member he would then walk round the room.
