If Viagra Did Not Exist, How Did Ancient Kings Manage Sexual Life With Many Wives?

History, Biology, and the Truth Behind a Popular Myth

Introduction

A common question often arises when people discuss ancient kings and emperors:

“If Viagra did not exist in those times, how did kings increase their sexual power to adjust with so many wives?”

This question sounds logical at first, but it is built on a modern misunderstanding of ancient life.

To answer it honestly, we must remove today’s assumptions and look at history, biology, and royal social systems as they truly were.

The reality is far more grounded—and far less dramatic—than popular stories suggest.

The First Misunderstanding: Many Wives Did NOT Mean Constant Sexual Activity

Modern thinking assumes that:

Kings had many wives

Therefore, kings were sexually active with all of them regularly

This assumption is incorrect.

Historical Reality

In ancient royal systems:

Wives lived in separate residences or quarters

Sexual access was occasional, not daily

Many marriages were political or symbolic

Large harems represented power and alliances, not sexual routine

Having many wives did not mean satisfying many women every day.

👉 Number of wives ≠ frequency of sex

Kings Did Not Live Under “Performance Pressure”

Today, sexual ability is often measured by:

Duration

Frequency

Comparison

Medical benchmarks

Ancient societies had no such standards.

Sex was viewed as:

A duty

A means of producing heirs

A royal privilege

There was no concept of sexual performance anxiety, no medical diagnosis of “low performance,” and no social pressure to prove masculinity through bedroom endurance.

Youth and Natural Biology Played the Biggest Role

Most kings:

Married young

Became rulers in early adulthood

Were physically active (riding horses, hunting, warfare)

At a young age:

Testosterone levels are naturally higher

Erectile function is naturally strong

No medication is required

As kings aged:

Sexual activity naturally declined

Health issues appeared

Many rulers faced infertility or weakness

👉 They aged like normal human beings. Power did not stop biology.

Most Wives Were Not Sexually Active With the King

This is rarely discussed but historically documented.

In large royal households:

Only a small number of wives or concubines had regular access

Many women never shared a physical relationship with the ruler

Some marriages existed only for:

Political loyalty

Regional representation

Status display

Many women lived entire lives without producing heirs.

👉 The king did not need extraordinary sexual capacity.

Authority, Not Sexual Power, Defined Royal Relationships

A critical truth often ignored:

Royal sexual relationships were shaped by authority and hierarchy, not performance or desire.

Modern relationships are based on:

Mutual consent

Emotional bonding

Equality

Ancient royal relationships operated under:

Command structures

Social inequality

Absolute power

This makes direct comparison with modern life unfair and misleading.

Herbal Remedies Existed—but Were Limited

Yes, ancient cultures used:

Herbs

Tonics

Traditional remedies

But:

Effects were mild

Often placebo-based

No scientific proof of strong enhancement

There is no historical evidence of any substance comparable to modern Viagra.

Many Kings Actually Faced Sexual and Fertility Problems

Historical records show:

Kings with many wives but no heirs

Succession crises due to infertility

Illnesses like obesity, gout, liver disease

Depression and early death

If kings truly had extraordinary sexual power, such problems would not have been common.

Why This Myth Exists Today

This belief survives because:

Movies exaggerate royal virility

Alcohol culture seeks justification

People confuse power with sexual ability

Modern stress creates insecurity, leading to romanticized history

But romantic history is not medical reality.

The Truth in Simple Words

Ancient kings did not “increase sexual power” the way people imagine today.

They:

Did not maintain constant sexual activity

Did not satisfy dozens of wives regularly

Did not possess special biological advantages

Relied on youth, authority, and social structure—not enhancement

What Modern Men Should Learn From This

Sexual health today depends on:

Physical fitness

Mental calm

Quality sleep

Balanced nutrition

Stress control

Not on:

Alcohol

Myths

Historical fantasies

Conclusion

The idea that ancient kings needed or possessed extraordinary sexual power is a modern illusion, not a historical truth.

They lived under completely different social systems, expectations, and realities.

Trying to compare royal life with modern personal health only creates confusion and insecurity.

True strength—then and now—comes from balance, discipline, and self-control, not from myths or substances.
