Would JFK be elected as president today, given his unceasing pursuit of casual sex?

Asked by Dutchess_lll (8753points) September 30th, 2019

On Amazon Prime I found a documentary called “JFK’s Women.”
The dude had tens, if not literally hundreds, of casual sexual encounters when he was president….and when he wasn’t. He supposedly told brother Bobby that he gets migraines if he doesn’t have a “strange piece of ass everyday.”
The FBI was beside themselves trying to figure out who might be a spy.
He had sex with Mafia women.
The all male press knew about it but didn’t want to rat him out because they admired the ease with which he was able to get women to sleep with him.

I knew he wasn’t the most faithful husband but the documentary just left me shocked.

No, he couldnt hide it with tech. He was such a ho! The mob parties in Tahoe for example. Headaches, great excuse!!

But in his day everyone tolerated it, even Jackie. In their circles it was expected behavior. His dad, Joe, did it.

If it were out in the open, no need for secrecy, it would be fine, as long as Jackie was OK with it.

The problem for politicians (and illicit sex) is not the sex. It’s the risk of being found out, and the resulting blackmail.

If there is no blackmail, because there is no secret, then why not?

Well, I doubt Jackie was “fine with it,” but there was nothing she could do about it.
The problem was JFK was sleeping with possible communist sympathizers, and possible Soviet spies, and some of the women were mafia.

And who he’s talking to about those politics in the “privacy” of a bed.

@Dutchess_lll That would be some pretty boring sex if he is talking politics in bed.

There are man who would talk if it meant getting laid. Some men want to impress women with their power.
Lots of state secrets have been spilled in bed. I think that’s how Benedict Arnold busted himself (Drunk History.) I’d do more research but phone.

The FBI was really worried about it.
