There\u2019s a word for what Mick Jagger had: Nymphomania.<\/p>\n
All those years ago, in 2010, Maroon 5 may have been more right than they\u2019d imagined, on their sticky pop chorus wth Christina Aguilera that insisted drunk kissing and licentious seduction all lead to the \u201cmoves like Jagger\u201d. How might one \u201ctake me by the tongue\u201d, anyway?<\/p>\n
A fact like this could quickly be dismissed as hearsay. Who\u2019s to really say whether The Rolling Stones frontman had a sex addiction? The intensity of his libido might\u2019ve been increased by the fame, the popularity, the sycophantic obsession that comes hand-in-hand with heading a hugely popular band throughout a time where sexual liberation was newly celebrated and, heck, the contraceptive pill became a thing.<\/p>\n
Well, one person attempted to duly offer an answer, and that\u2019s Christopher Andersen, who covered Jagger\u2019s history for more than four decades, culminating officially in his book, Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger. Though he didn\u2019t interview the man himself, the writer spoke to his family, friends, wives, co-workers, and mistresses to learn of his alleged over 4,000 lovers. \u201cI\u2019m no paragon of virtue,\u201d Jagger once remarked. He can say that again.<\/p>\n
Andersen uncovered a shocking story about the wild times of the \u2018Heaven\u2019 singer. He shared with CBS News, \u201c[Jagger\u2019s second wife] Jerry Hall proclaimed after putting up with his infidelity for 23 years that he was a sex addict, and she asked him to get help. Keith Richards asked him to get help, and they were thrilled when he sought help from a sex therapist until he seduced the sex therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Imagine how painfully awkward that conversation must have been for Richards. The fact that his friend intervened shows just how awful the situation at hand was, though it\u2019s only guesswork what was said during the conversation. An entire pack of cigarettes was inhaled, most probably.<\/p>\n
Andersen continued, \u201cI mean, that\u2019s the kind of guy we\u2019re dealing with, somebody who has personal demons and compulsions, I think.\u201d Jagger has eight children range in age from 52 to six years old. He also has five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Hall once called him a \u201cpredator\u201d.<\/p>\n
You might cry\u2014why did no one attempt to capture this at the time? Where\u2019s the tangible record of his gluttonous debauchery? Well, they did: in 1972, a tour documentary was withdrawn from broadcast. The depiction of Jagger snorting cocaine and groupies having sex with tour members was deemed inappropriate for broadcast, for some ungodly reason.<\/p>\n
We will never truly know what went on inside that therapist\u2019s office, not on the silk chaise longue Jagger might have leisurely stretched out upon while bemoaning the deep-seated longing at his core. He might have made eyes at the therapist, sure, who might have decided, for one time and one time only, to go back on their resolve, who might have thought to themselves: \u201cOh, go on then, just this once. It\u2019s Mick Jagger, for fuck\u2019s sake.\u201d Something tells me this guess isn\u2019t so far from what the sofa saw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
