Ravana was really lusty...............haha that brought his death here what i found about Ravana longing to women Ravana was known for his virility as well as his aggressive conquests of women. Ravana had several wives, foremost of whom was Mandodari (she got her name from Mandore, Jodhpur her parents ruled Mandore) - daughter of Mayasura and an apsara. Mandodari was renowned for her wisdom and grace as well as beauty. In addition to his wives, Ravana maintained a harem of incredible size, populated with women whom he captured in his many conquests. Ravana forced himself upon any woman who rejected his advances. Two significant encounters occurred that would shape the course of the Ramayana. The first was the molestation of the sage-woman Vedavati. Vedavati had been performing penance with the intention of winning Lord Vishnu for a husband. Ravana met her at her hermitage, her beauty enhanced by the austerities she had performed. She, however, rejected his advances. Ravana proceeded to forcibly take her, upon which she prophecied that she would return to the mortal world as the cause of his death. She then created a pyre and let herself be consumed in it. She was re-born as Sita, thus becoming Vishnu's (as Rama) wife, and the cause of Ravana's defeat. The other was the molestation of the apsara (celestial dancing girl) Rambha, who turned out to be betrothed to Kubera's son Nalakuvara. Ravana was enamoured of her, and not even this plea deterred him. Kuvera's son then cursed Ravana's heads to fall off, if ever he forced himself on any woman. This curse is said to have kept Sita chaste, while she was Ravana's captive for nearly a year.
