I suppose the first ones people think of are Mick Jagger and Frank Sinatra. But this is a question deserving of far deeper rumination.
I don’t picture Bing Crosby or Elvis hopping from bed to bed as much as those two; doesn’t seem like part of their personalities. Jerry Lee Lewis, maybe, but not Elvis.
Billy Eckstine was one handsome bastard. Sammy Davis looked like he had the, er, energy. I don’t want to think about Al Jolson naked, not at all.
I like to think it was Rudy Vallee. He was remarkably good-looking and a HUGE star during a period known for promiscuous fucking. Lots of short-skirted flappers following him around, no doubt. I’ve been looking for a good lascivious biography of Vallee, but Amazon says that the extant ones seem to stay away from his bedroom shenanigans. One was written by his widow. Clearly THAT’S not the one to read. “Rudy attended church every Sunday and was under the covers every night by ten, with a cup of Ovaltine and a good wholesome novel.” Pah.
For the purposes of this thread, let’s stick with musicians. Okay, singers anyway. No sports heroes, no astronauts, no statesmen, no movie stars. And definitely not Henry Kissinger.
I really don’t have any guesses, but based on my observations of the “poontag habits” of rock stars and non-stars alike, I doubt looks or outward personality has much to do with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some “boring” artist with a long-term marriage.
Don’t forget the lead singer from Three Dog Night !
During an interview on the Howard Stern show, he claimed to have gotten so much nookie so often that his manhood somehow “broke” :eek: during one particularly vigorous session. He ended up needing surgery to get back in the sack!!
Might have been Bill Wyman instead, who claimed in one particularly active stretch to have been about twice as “productive” as Brian Jones, who more than doubled up Mick Jagger, who easily lapped Keith Richards, who put too shame poor, monogamous Charlie Watt ( who didn’t sleep around at all ). Wyman and Jones apparently made a bit of a game of it, with Wyman in particular fascinated with the statistics of it all. More than a little sad, really.
For fans of British artists, Mick Hucknall of Simply Red has claimed to get plenty, all the time. :dubious:
When my sister was a tween, in the early to mid 1980s, she and a friend were at the mall and my sister said, “Let’s go into Vanity” (a clothing store which then and now is aimed at teens and younger women). Her friend replied, “Why not? Prince has.”
I’ve also heard this about Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, who isn’t that great looking and has been married to the same woman for at least 40 years.
When I was in college, in the early 1990s, a guy I worked with asked me if any of the guys in R.E.M. had kids, and I made him and some other people squirm by replying, “They probably all have kids they don’t know about.” And by all accounts, the biggest personizer in that band is not who you’d expect. It’s actually Mike Mills, who AFAIK has never been married but does have a son who is now in his 20s. Most of their fans did not know the boy/man existed until around 2000 or later.
As for Elvis, he too was said to be quite the ladies’ man but was rather…WEIRD…sexually. Among other things, it’s been said that he could not perform with a woman who had given birth, which meant that his sex life with Priscilla vanished after Lisa Marie was born.
IDK if it still exists, but some years back, I found a message board for groupies, and the one celebrity who would have groupies that they had never received a report on - good, bad, or indifferent - was Eddie Van Halen. :eek:
That board also had lists of rock stars - mostly hair band performers - and their assorted physical attributes, preferences, etc. The board had a thread started by a woman who said she was married to one of the guys listed, and said, “I don’t know who that woman was with, but it definitely wasn’t my husband!” :smack:
Sounds like Donna’s Ho Board over at Metal Sludge. It’s still around but sadly a shadow of its former self. Much like Metal Sludge as a matter of fact. I didn’t search for EVH on it but he doesn’t appear on the Penis Chart (yes, that’s a thing at Sludge) so take that as you will.
