Paul McCartney vient de sortir son album solo du nom de Egypt Station la semaine dernière. Ce premier disque en 5 ans marque la présence remarquée de Sir Paul dans presque tous les médias majeurs pour faire la promotion de cet album. Dans sa dernière entrevue au magazine GQ, Paul raconte plusieurs détails de sa vie sexuelle avec les Beatles.
McCartney a répondu aux questions des fameuses sessions de masturbations avec John Lennon. Sir Paul a confié que c’était arrivé “une fois ou deux” et que c’était arrivé chez John directement. Ils étaient 5 hommes et à la place de boire et de faire le party, ils ont commencé à se masturber ensemble. Ils criaient des noms comme celui de Brigitte Bardot pour s’exciter. Lennon a fait une blague et il a crié le nom de Winston Churchill. Assez turn off.
Il dit que tout cela était seulement pour le plaisir, et que personne n’a souffert de ces sessions. Pas même Brigitte Bardot.
Les explications de McCartney dans l’entrevue :
“It was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.
We were just, “Brigitte Bardot!” Whoo! McCartney says, and then everyone would thrash a bit more.
At least until one of them—the one you would perhaps expect—opted for disruption over stimulation.
“I think it was John sort of said, ‘Winston Churchill!’” McCartney remembers, and acts out the aghast, stymied reactions.
“There weren’t really orgies, to my knowledge. There were sexual encounters of the celestial kind, and there were groupies.”
“I think it was a one-off,” McCartney replies. “Or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn’t a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn’t think much of. It was just a group. Yeah, it’s quite raunchy when you think about it. There’s so many things like that from when you’re a kid that you look back on and you’re, ‘Did we do that?’ But it was good harmless fun. It didn’t hurt anyone. Not even Brigitte Bardot.”
Sir Paul raconte également que les membres des Beatles ont vu George Harrison perdre sa virginité à l’âge de 17 ans et qu’ils ont applaudi une fois que c’était terminé. Des vrais amis.
“I think that’s true,” says McCartney carefully. “The thing is, these stories, particularly Beatles stories, they get to be legendary, and I do have to check: Wait a minute. I know we had one bed and two sets of bunks, and if one of the guys brought a girl back, they could just be in the bed with a blanket over them, and you wouldn’t really notice much except a little bit of movement. I don’t know whether that was George losing his virginity—it might have been. I mean, I think in the end this was one of the strengths of the Beatles, this enforced closeness which I always liken to army buddies. Because you’re all in the same barracks. We were always very close and on top of each other, which meant you could totally read each other.
Paul McCartney a aussi nié qu’il y avait des orgies lors des tournées des Beatles, mais plutôt des “sexual encounters”. Il a raconté la nuit qu’il a passée avec deux escortes de Las Vegas.
There weren’t really orgies, to my knowledge. There were sexual encounters of the celestial kind, and there were groupies. The nearest it got… See, this is my experience, because I’m just not into orgies. I don’t want anyone else there, personally. It ruins it! I would think—I’ve never actually done it. Didn’t appeal to me, the idea. There was once when we were in Vegas where the tour guy, a fixer, said, ‘You’re going to Vegas, guys—you want a hooker?’ We were all, ‘Yeah!’ And I requested two. And I had them, and it was a wonderful experience. But that’s the closest I ever came to an orgy. See, the thing is, in the next room I think the guys might have ordered something else off the menu.
Il a aussi parlé du fait que John était un “swinger”.
So that would figure if John was saying, yeah, it was all bacchanalian. I think John was a little more that way, because thinking back, I remember there was someone in a club that he’d met, and they’d gone back to the house because the wife fancied John, wanted to have sex with him, so that happened, and John discovered the husband was watching. That was called ‘kinky’ in those days.
And was he okay with that?
Yeah, he was fine. So I think maybe John experienced a bit more of that than I did. Tell you the truth, I just didn’t fancy it, that kind of thing. Someone else’s wife? I definitely wouldn’t want the husband to know. You know, that seems sensible to me. Am I too sensible? I don’t know. Mine wasn’t particularly crazy but it was a lot of fun. And there was a lot of it. So that was good enough for me.
