The Love Life of Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley's love life is an intriguing topic because of his rock star lifestyle. As with today's rock stars, Elvis  had a very large following, a large percent of those were females. One could imagine that with his busy tour schedule, it would be very hard to sustain a stable family. Even if Presley did find a wife, would be be able to remain faithful in a life filled with the temptations of women, money, fame, and drugs. It is speculated that Presley developed a fear of sexually transmitted diseases, which corresponds with his lack of sexually activity with the numerous of girlfriends that he accumulated over the course of his career. There are numerous reports of women that dated "The King," and they all have testified to not having sexual relations with him. But in retrospect, it is very improbably that he remained "clean" for the decade that his career lasted. The fact that he continually traveled around the country would pose a problem for raising a family. In my opinion, the temptation of young women throwing themselves at you would be to great for most men to withstand. Elvis Presley did, in fact, find a wife in Priscilla Ann Wagner, but do to lack of intimacy and Priscilla's affair with a karate instructor, the couple divorced. Six months after Priscilla left, Presley started a relationship with beauty queen Linda Thompson. They had a very passionate relationship at starts, but it slowly faded to a dull association. Linda was the last woman to be involved with "The King," because she found him dead from drug overdose. In general, if the reports are true, Elvis Presley enjoyed many partners, but very few were sexual partners. It turns out that women were not the most tempting factor for Elvis, drugs were.
