Maybe people aren't picturing all the extremes.
I used to hike (up to low class 5) with a woman who was quite svelte and tended to wear skimpy clothes. She had been married 9 times (in many different countries), and tended to make overtly sexual and flirtatious comments (<<voulez vous coucher avec moi?>>). Her standard way of greeting me at the start of a trip, was to jump up and wrap her legs around my waist. People who witnessed this ritual made bawdy comments.
I think her rituals were mainly an act to help build her persona, but many normally sedate wives were jealous of her.
There was no way in the world that I was going to go alone with her, even on a day hike. We were always went with at least one other person.
