I would not think that in their youth they were over-exaggerated.

I mean, Charlotte Bronte's descriptions are convincing enough to want to go back in time and shag her.

Not all of them were… hopefully.

All this reminds me of is that one Horrible Histories book that said Inca women washed their hair in pee to attract a man.

She's fine enough for a one-night stand.

I am not sure I would prefer her for a relationship though (which isn't the point of time travel in the first place. I mean, who would want to be stuck in 19th century England or in a relationship with a potential ancestor? Although make sure you carry a lot of condoms and whatnot with you to the past, you'll need them.)

This is just an excuse for you to sleep with lots of hot Inca women.

Inca women were not exactly "hot".

Although, I don't know much about how wild they were in bed; while I never had sex with any of them in the past, I did hear stories here and there about their partners being satisfied enough.

Charlotte had a lovely smile but that family ... *shudders* Miss Austen was much livelier, an excellent dancer. I rather liked Miss Evans, George Eliot, that is. Mrs. Carlyle was a true character, though not unlikeable. Mr. Butler said, "It was very good of God to let Carlyle and Mrs Carlyle marry one another, and so make only two people miserable and not four."

Impregnate every single woman?

Isn't that a little difficult?

You don't?

Sounds like an idea for a TV programme from one of my colleagues - he called it Time Shagger.

Not when you have a time machine.

Duh.

Well, with sufficient time-management skills, maybe some spreadsheets or a database to keep track of the numbers... I'm sure it could be done, but it'd take an awful lot of time given the equipment involved has a biologically-enforced cooldown period.

Time.

It's a magical solution to all of these problems.

That usually varies even then though.

I'm not even a Doctor Who fan, and my first thought was "Sonic screwdriver *immature giggling*" (I'm so mature!)

You sure were social back then.

I've always been fairly social. Oh, there were times when I had to go wandering but I generally do like people.

If you use the time machine to wait for the cool down to end where would you go? If you go to the time before you shag the one person only to do another person would that not cause a paradox since there's more than one of you in that part of time? And if it repeats tht would tear apart the universe and THEN where would we be?

Hmmm ... the universe would be filled with eternally tumescent men, all of whom look the same. Not a good image, no.

This doesn't sound like something anyone wants, really. It would be a very sad universe.

Drawing of an Inca Warrior

Even though the Inca had Centralized rule, cities, organized military and had a so called sophisticated bureaucratic civilization and had conquered many other people, they could never conquer the Shuar tribes which were primitive people who lived in family or extended family units in the jungle. They had no Central Government. They came together when threatened. And they would not surrender.

Actual old photo of a Shuar Warrior. Did you see what he has on top of that pole. They were famous for that. Inca and Spanish steered clear of them.

So the only way the OP could possibly conquer them is by defoliating the entire jungle.

I dunno, I'm not the one presenting the problem, merely a solution of sorts.

We're just going for having sex, perhaps drunk sex, but sex nevertheless.

I'm sure looks don't matter at that point.

Hard to get started if they are unattractive, but alcohol could fix that I suppose...

I don't get turned on by power. Intelligence however... And alcohol enhances all the good and minimizes the bad...

Personally, I don't know - I've never been in the position where I might have power, nor do I know anyone who might be considered "powerful".

Well, bar superiors at work.

I like the cut of your jib!

Thank you. I wasn't even trying.
