Devotion to his mother
In a newspaper interview with The Memphis Press Scimitar, Elvis was open about his close relationship with his mother. "She's the number one girl in her life, and she dedicates her career to her." Throughout his life, "his son would call him by the name of a pet," and they communicated with the babble chatter. Presley even shares his mother's bed "until Elvis is a teenager," just because his family is so poor that they can not afford two plush beds. According to Elaine Dundy, "it is very painful for her to leave her child even for a moment with others, to let others touch Elvis." Presley himself said, "My mother never let me out of her sight, I can not go to a creek with other kids." His father, Vernon Presley, spoke of Elvis's close relationship with his mother "after his son became famous, almost as if it was a source of wonder that anyone could be that close."
During Presley's ride, Gladys became desperate, depressed and lonely and began to ignore his health. She gained weight and started drinking every day. He had wanted Elvis to succeed, "but not so that he would be separated from him." The crowd's hysteria frightened him. " The doctor diagnosed liver problems, and Gladys's condition finally worsened so he was hospitalized in August 1958. At that time, Elvis was in Fort Hood, Texas, to fulfill his military obligations, but he got emergency leave to see him, and a special aircraft hired to take it home on August 12th. Gladys died on August 14th. Elvis and Vernon were very upset over his death, with Elvis "crying and crying hysterically," and eyewitnesses recounted that he was "almost always mourning" for days. During and shortly after the funeral, Judy Spreckels and Nick Adams, Presley's best friends at the time, tried to entertain the singer.

SMA and star start
Presley's early experiences ridiculed by his classmates for being "a mama's son" had a profound effect on his clumsy progress toward girls. He has no friends as a teenager. Beginning in his early teens, Presley embarked on a "relentless pursuit of the girls," but was rejected outright. At school, anyone who wants to provoke a little girl to cry angry just has the chalk "Elvis loves -" and then the girl's name on the board when the teacher came out of the room. "However, according to Greil Marcus, Elvis," Whatever his mother thought, "seems to have spent some time" as a teenager in Memphis's black neighborhood, having sex with black girls. "
His first lover was a fifteen-year-old Dixie Locke, the singer sang since he graduated from Humes and during the time of Sun Records. Although still a rising star, Presley also has a relationship with June Juanico, who is said to be the only girl her mother approves, but according to Juanico's own words, she "never had sex with Presley." In June of Juanico Elvis in the Twilight of Memory, he stated he was afraid of getting pregnant. However, since the singer's death, many relationship claims have been made by women who are no more than acquaintances or have short exaggerations exaggerated for personal gain. Juanico even blames Elvis's manager, Colonel Thomas Parker, for pushing Presley to go out with beautiful women just "for publicity."
Between 1954 and 1956, as his fame began to rise, Presley became the subject of Hollywood stars and worshipers such as Natalie Wood, Judy Tyler, Shelley Fabares and Connie Stevens. His mother believes that Wood is a fraud who hopes to "snare" the singer only "for publicity purposes." When a columnist wants to know if the romance with Presley is "serious," Natalie's cool answer is, "Not now." "But who knows what will happen?" One of his judgments about Elvis is, "He can sing but he can not do much else."
The main woman in her life
Some authors have written that "Elvis busied her nights with various girlfriends" or that "her one-night stand list will fill the volume." Actress Anne Helm, for example, stated that Presley "really likes sex." "I'm having fun", he said. "And that's special." He further claims that Elvis loves the baby-colored yellow dolls that he bought and that he gave his pills after making love to her.
But it is not clear whether the "sex symbol" actually had sex with most of the women she dated. Her early boyfriends, Judy Spreckels and June Juanico say they have no sexual relationship with Presley, and there are some women with whom Elvis quickly passes sexuality altogether, enjoying a comfortable friendship. Spreckels, singer Betty Amos, Patti Parry hairdresser, and others close to Presley all fill the role of sister to Elvis. Despite claiming no sexual intercourse with Elvis, June Juanico said in an interview for the film Elvis 1956, "I will not say what happened between us. Byron Raphael and Alanna Nash have stated that the star "will never put himself in one of these girls..." (for a number of reasons). Albert Goldman speculates that Elvis prefers voyeurism rather than normal sexual intercourse with women. Goldman went on to state that during his military service, Elvis had "found a prostitute and took intense fear of a sexually transmitted disease that led to claims that he had an unnatural fear of sexual penetration." Alanna Nash, in her book, Baby, Let's Play House: Elvis Presley and Her Loving Woman (2010), expressed the need at Presley to play Pygmalion and father for a very young girl, whom she likes to overcome. A blooming Mama's son, "he says, the young Elvis is an imperfect and very religious woman, fearing sexually transmitted diseases that he will not actually" go into "women, never undress, and pay more attention watching a complicated table, often involving the foot.
June Juanico "recalled as she stood in front of Elvis in front of her group of hangers, who even began to accompany her everywhere.He grabbed her arm, took her to the bathroom and declared: 'Look, you're right, I'm really sorry.' He held him there for five minutes, then bragged, his image intact. "Julie Parrish, Presley's co-star at Paradise Hawaiian Style, recounted," Once on the set I had real pain on my side - side effects, I think - and Elvis scooped me up, took me into his trailer and closed the door Outside the crew was waiting and wondering, but Elvis did not notice the sarcasm He put his hand on my side and tried to heal on me. "Playboy star and actress June Wilkinson recalls that she" met Elvis at King Creole. "She invited me to dinner at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel... Then Elvis gave me a tour to her room , sat me in bed in his bedroom and sang for me for two hours. That is all. The next day... we had dinner again. She is very sweet, and she is friendly. She has more than sex in her mind. He took me to the airport on time, and our roads never crossed again. "
However, the singer is not always sweet and friendly to women. When Christina Crawford, Joan Crawford's adopted daughter, visited Presley, they were watching Bonanza in the TV room. "Elvis has smoked a cigar... when Christina tickled her and rambled on, apparently seeking immediate attention." Suddenly, as Buzz Cason recounts, "he hangs the contents of his cocktail glass right into Elvis's face... Cigars go 'phhhtttt' and he jumps... He grabs his hair." Get rid of this bitch. from here! 'she screamed, leading her to the front door as she struggled to follow a rather quick pace as she pulled the key. The commotion occurred when the 'boys' rushed to help try to prevent too big a scene. "
Peggy Lipton claims that Presley is "almost helpless" with her. He attributes his helplessness to his childhood and heavy drug abuse. Cassandra Peterson, better known as "Elvira", says that she knows Presley only for one night and all they do is talk.
This claim is directly contrary to comments from actresses such as Cybill Shepherd, who admitted her affair with the singer and said she has introduced Elvis to certain romance techniques. However, "the widely quoted claim that he taught him the joy of oral sex is viewed with skepticism by other King lovers." In an interview, Shepherd reveals that Presley kissed her all over her naked body - but refused to have oral sex with her. Her slow, soft cocks ended in her navel. Elvis explained to him, "Me and the guys are talking and, well, we do not eat pussy." He always knows their relationship is doomed and they will not survive as a couple. He said, "The fact is, Elvis is captivated at the speed in the army... Then it becomes uncontrollable Do I want to be with someone who will drag me down? The only way to stay with Elvis is by doing drugs."
In his memoir Ann-Margret (Presley's co-star at Viva Las Vegas) refers to Presley as his "soul mate", but very little is revealed about their long-rumored romance, only "in the moment of tenderness" he bought her a round bed in hot pink.
On the other hand, Elvis is dating a lot of female friends from his film mainly for publication purposes. 17-year-old actress Lori Williams and singer, for example, went together for a while "between making Roustabout and Kissin 'Cousins ​​." He said "their courtship is not a strange story, it's very sweet and Elvis is the perfect man." He also claims that Ann-Margret "is the love of his life." Significantly, there was a big publicity campaign about romance between Elvis and Ann-Margret during the 1963 shooting of Viva Las Vegas and the following weeks, which helped increase the popularity of young Hollywood beauty. Ann-Margret remained close to Presley for the rest of her life and also attended her funeral.
Most of the books (including both Guralnick books) in Presley contained many details of his romance and his allegations included many when he married Priscilla. It has also been reported that Presley "likes to hug and suck a woman's toes, and those in her entourage who are given the job of choosing a friend for her are often asked to check the girls' feet." However, according to Alan Fortas, a Memphis football midfielder who became a bodyguard and part of Presley's entourage, "Elvis needs someone for a baby more than he needs a sex partner.He craves the attention of someone who worships him without threatening, sexual pressure, just like a mother. "In addition," Elvis befriended several young girls who had once swarmed in the driveway, or outside the fence... Some of the girls were as young as fourteen.Lastas said they were often housemates who attended the concert as part of 'Elvis private trips.' In the backyard, they play with Elvis in the Doughboy pool and challenge him to a watermelon spitting contest, They also sneak into his bedroom... for a chaotic pillow fight.Sometimes they all sit cross-legged with him in bed, flipping through fan magazines or admiring his collection of stuffed animals when they all lay together and embraced. But what happens is horseplay, not heating. "Therefore, Guralnick writes that for" the more experienced girls are not like other Hollywood stars or even with the more sophisticated children they know. "Although they offer to do something for Presley," she's not right interested. What he likes to do is lie in bed and watch television and eat and talk all night... "
Dolores Hart is a woman who likes flowers from Elvis's second and fourth films, and is her first kiss on screen. She insists that she does not have an intimate relationship with her partner. Five years after his last film with Elvis, he left Hollywood to become a Benedictine nun. Documentary 2011 God Is the Bigger Elvis covered their relationship.
Anita Wood, another girl whom Presley's mother hoped to eventually marry, was with him as she rose to superstardom, serving in the US military and returning home in 1960. If she plans to marry a girl, she wants her to remain a virgin. Anita Wood lived in Graceland for a while, though the star, in her own words, did not have sex with her. He moved after facing him over Priscilla Presley, later known as Priscilla Beaulieu.
Elvis and Priscilla Beaulieu first met in 1959, while Elvis was stationed in Germany with the US Army. Priscilla was 14 when Elvis met her. Elvis's relationship with the young woman is shown in "In his love life," by Reuben Fine, who observes that Elvis "quickly becomes attached to a teenage girl, and he is happy to have them wearing white pants on the bed with him.For a long time he will not "Brent D. Taylor has stated that" Elvis's closest female relationship usually with young girls around 13 or 14, ends when they reach the final teenager. He does not have sex with these young girls, but has pajama parties, a pillow fight and engages in 'girl talk', as he did to Gladys. "" As an immortal youth ", Elvis" attracted to young women ", and" Elvis is comfortable with these teenage girls "because he's" very unconfident... That's why he needs younger girls. " Elvis biographer, Alanna Nash, also confirmed that the singer is very fond of teenage girls. The author says that Presley is too attached to his mother and can not relate normally with adult women; apparently, Presley was looking for very young girls because she felt threatened by an older woman.
In 1962 or 1963 Elvis persuaded Beaulieus who was reluctant to allow their teenage daughter to live with her father, Vernon, and stepmother Dee Presley in a house Elvis bought at Hermitage Drive in Memphis behind Graceland. However, the arrangement lasted only a few weeks, Priscilla slipping back and forth between the houses of Vernon and Graceland. In his 1985 autobiography, Elvis and Me, written with writer Sandra Harmon, Priscilla described Presley as a very passionate man who was not too sexually sexually sexually abused. According to her account, the singer told her that they must wait until they get married before getting in touch. He said, "I'm not saying we can not do anything else, it's just the real meeting, I want to save it." Priscilla says in her autobiography that she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night. However, this claim was questioned by Suzanne Finstad.
They married on May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and daughter Lisa Marie born nine months later on February 1, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. In his book, Elvis and Me , Priscilla describes her daily life with her husband. He also said that Presley became fascinated with occult phenomena and metaphysical and prescription drug addicts, which dramatically changed his personality from playing to passive and introverted. The Presleys split on February 23, 1972, and divorced on October 9, 1973, agreeing to share their custody of daughters. When Priscilla left him for karate teacher Mike Stone, "the singer's ego was damaged beyond repair.Considering Presley's status as a universal sex symbol..., it is unlikely he could put this situation in any kind of perspective other than not 'enough human' to hold the girl." Billy Stanley, he's "not the same person" as before. Priscilla says that she faces Elvis about the divorce. According to his account, he imposed himself; "This is how a real man makes love to a woman," he said. "However, Priscilla in an interview stated that she regretted her choice of words in describing the incident, saying it was too much.
Freudian and other sexual psychologists say that Presley is "a classic example of mother/Madonna/whore separation". He "admired his mother and never recovered from his death." She met Priscilla "when she was 14. She became a mother at the age of 22, a few months before her 23rd birthday. It is said that Elvis never made love to her again after the birth of her daughter, and would never have sex with a woman who already has He did not marry again after his divorce with Priscilla and no more children. "However, Priscilla Presley stated in his autobiography that they had sex again after the birth of their daughter, and actress Barbara Leigh, who had a relationship with the singer after the birth of her own son, claiming that they often make love, even though Elvis' Realizes his son. Both accounts are contrary to the claim that Elvis will not have sex with a woman who has had children.
Linda Thompson and Ginger Alden
Six months after Priscilla left, Presley dated the beauty queen Linda Thompson. Although she was supposed to be a virgin when they met, it has been claimed that they "started with marathon sex sessions in Vegas hotel rooms." According to his own words, however, they did not perfect their relationship until after months of dating. He shared Presley's passion for gospel music and higher religious understanding, moved to Graceland in August 1972 and remained the singer's main girlfriend for nearly four and a half years. While friends remain for most of this period, their relationship eventually "splits into a colorless and gloomy existence." According to Thompson, "There are times when he is very, very difficult, there is a lot of sadness and he shows a lot of self-destructive behavior, which is very difficult for me, you know, watching someone I love so much self-destructing." In 1976, he left Presley when Elvis began dating Ginger Alden, his last serious girlfriend and the man who found his unresponsive body on the day of his death. "Someone doubts he ever had sex again," and Alden, whom Elvis has given a diamond engagement ring and may plan to marry, has been described as "too polite to say." However, Alden finally revealed in his memoirs of 2014 that they are doing "sex", showing sexual intimacy.
Memphis Mafia and other male friends
Regardless of his relationship with women, Presley has many male friends. He reportedly spent the day and night with friends and employees that the mass media intimately called the Memphis Mafia. Among them are Sonny West, Red West, Billy Smith, Marty Lacker, and Lamar Fike. Gerald Marzorati said that Elvis "can not go elsewhere without a group of childhood friends." Even the girls she dated regretted, "Whenever you're with Elvis for most of you with his entourage, they're always there..."
According to Peter Guralnick, for Elvis and the guys "Hollywood is just an open invitation to party all night.Sometimes they will hang out with Sammy Davis, Jr., or see Bobby Darin at Cloister.Nick Adams and his gang come by the suite all the time, not to mention the eccentric actor Billy Murphy... "When Buzz Cason asked Lamar Fike" how did Elvis do it - it's partying almost every night, "he" replied, 'Little something to get off and a little something to get up.' Obviously, he's referring to pills which started a trend that unfortunately in just a few years will lead to Elvis's death. "
Samuel Roy said that "Elvis, Red and Sonny West and Dave Hebler's bodyguards, apparently liked Elvis - especially Red... Ã, this bodyguard showed loyalty to Elvis and demonstrated it in the final exam.When the bullet was fired at Elvis in Las Vegas, the bodyguard threw himself in front of Elvis, forming a shield to protect him. "The author adds that those who surround Presley" live, mostly, isolated from other parts of the world, lose contact with every reality except the 'cult' and its power. "
According to Presley expert, Elaine Dundy, "Of all the new friends of Elvis, Nick Adams, with the most insecure background and temperament, also the closest to him." Guralnick says that the singers "hang out more with Nick and his friends" and that Elvis is happy Colonel Tom Parker "likes Nick." June Wilkinson also confirmed that the singer "has a group that speaks with a southern accent.The only thing I remember is Nick Adams, the actor." In Elvis's recent biography, Kathleen Tracy writes that Adams is Elvis's regular friend and often meets with backstage singers or at Graceland. "She and Elvis will go on motorcycles late at night and stay up all the hours talking about the suffering of celebrities."
