John Wilmot was a lusty lord who wrote some of the dirtiest poetry in the Restoration era about everything from dildos to public sex to premature ejaculation! He also abducted an heiress, pretended to be a gynecologist, trained one of the great tragic actresses of the day, and had affairs with men and women alike. All his drunken shenanigans constantly got him into trouble with King Charles II, but his charm and way with words always got him welcomed back… until they didn’t.
