[edit] Sexual life of Uluç Ali Reis the Italo-Turkish Latin Lover

I have searched the Italian marine archives (which are 1,000,000 times more detailed than Turkish marine archives) but couldn't find any information about the alleged hyperactive sex life of Uluç Ali Reis (which is cool by the way).

I personally am not surprised that Murat Bardakçı, the notorious "tabloid historian" of Hürriyet daily newspaper, came up with such a spicy story (like all his other history-related stories).

However, who cares about the sexual life/preferences/fantasies of a 16th century Ottoman admiral?

Should we add his penis size as well, if we manage to get information on that one?

Khoikhoi, believe me, even if you were famous, I wouldn't care about your sexual life.

I would rather care about your "achievements" as a sailor. 151.42.176.142 02:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree. This is simply unsubstantiated sensationalism, not stuff for WIKI. Cosal 03:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
