It is all speculation anyway. But if the stories of his many dalliances are true he obviously was horny a lot. Can't quite see a person who is not sustaining that many affairs.

Obviously I haven't read the entire account but might we remain skeptical in fairness? Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2012 #2

We could remain skeptical, but this has the ring of truth to it. MineralMan Feb 2012 #3

Can this really be called a consenual affair? oberliner Feb 2012 #5

I don't know. She would have been 19 at the time. MineralMan Feb 2012 #11

As oberliner noted the description does not sound consensual. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2012 #16

Without reading her account, I couldn't say. MineralMan Feb 2012 #18

How is it not consensual??! DutchLiberal Feb 2012 #34

Being "in shock" doesn't denote a consensual sexual encounter obamanut2012 Feb 2012 #43

I could have described myself as being "in shock" during and after my first sexual encounter. leeroysphitz Feb 2012 #49

Shock is what your system does when it is theatened in some way. n/t EFerrari Feb 2012 #64

Too long ago and too little information to make a judgment on this MineralMan Feb 2012 #52

That's how I see it as well. TBF Feb 2012 #56

Not necessarily, and I speak from Surya Gayatri Feb 2012 #53

I would agree. I think we need to remember that this was an era of "free sex" and it was really jwirr Feb 2012 #24

I was there in 1962 also, but I don't remember free love kicking in for a few years after that. Arkansas Granny Feb 2012 #61

In my community they did not get contraception. They got pregnant and consequently married and jwirr Feb 2012 #78

I had the same response but I think it is in reference to a later time when the marriage broke up. yellowcanine Feb 2012 #70
