Damn they said Sheila was a snobb

--- She talks about that in her book 1) She was sexually abused has a child so she was an angry person and she was in love with Prince but angry with him because he would not stop running around.

Sheila admits she wasn't that nice when she was young, kind of a diva from the sounds of it, but she seemed to have realized that and changed. My feeling, we're all allowed a few mistakes when we're young, it's the people in their 40's, 50's and 60's who I don't understand when they act like little kids.

All I really wanna know from any of those confessions is, in 1 word answers...

I'm pretty sure I already have a good idea from 30+ years as an observant nosey stalkeresque fan, but...

1) Trouser snuffleupagus?
2) Cut or uncut?
3) Please tell me that his off-screen kisses weren't as awful as those on-screen kisses

Bonus question: Were the glasses he sometimes wore simply fashion accessories or legit prescription?
[Edited 8/9/16 20:09pm]

1.) not sure I understand the question
2.) cut
3.) ok - "his off screen kisses weren't as awful as those on screen kisses"
*disclaimer* I have no personal experience regarding any of the above so these are just my best guesses

Looks like the Manuela thread disappeared...

So did the one about Mayte and the annullment. Annoying because I had made what I considered to be a sensible point on it, lmao!

A trouser snuffleupagus is something that resemble an elephant/snuffleupagus trunk/nose and lives in a man's pants/trousers.

The inquiry was an attempt to delicately ask about relative size.

It was moved to the associates section. Still alive.

I'm such a technophobe, I can't even make sense of the search function...

Thank you for the update!

The Mayte anullment thread is still up. Hopefully it won't get as nasty as the Manuela thread.

My thoughts.....

Ok honestly I can see both sides of this aspect of his life....I understand how reading these stories can kinda be disillusioning to realise how, yeah he was entirely capable of treating women as sex objects....it can seem contradictory to his sensitive image and what we women have built up in our minds and our own fantasies....that being said as a female fan I always intuitivley felt he was really like this...all you had to do was listen to his music and watch his videos to understand he had a sexual appetitie and had a lot of sex in his day....with lots of different women....and reading those stories I was kinda like ....I knew the dude was kinky but wow, that story about that person walking in on his all girl orgy????!!! ....

but ladies realise men can be different from us women, sexually and he still was a man, why does he have to be perfect? A lot of men either have sex every day or watch porn EVERY day...difference with Prince was he actually got to have sex with these women....is that the worse thing in the world? It isn't like he murdered anyone.... You gotta keep it in perspective......just keeping it real as you guys know I always do. Peace and be wild!

I do not like macho men or womanizing behavior, but I guess with Prince I wear rose-colored glasses and don't think about that crap, or it would drive me batty.

[Edited 8/9/16 21:22pm]

Oh I don't like macho or womanizing behavior in real life like that either (in fact one of my high school bf's was like this (ubknowst to me at the time and wow, what a crappy experience...and I did date a guy when I was in my 20s for a little bit who was much older and he was a total player, I had been warned, lol, got hurt but learned a valuable lesson)....but when it comes to Prince I think when a fell in lust with him I was like really young and a virgin so... I thought all his womanizing ways were sexy for some weird reason and added to his mistique and I thought in my naive little head, teach me about sex Prince!!!

Agreed! I have the same experience in my life. I'm in my mid-30s now, and I feel I have learned so much, and become much kinder, and more giving to others (and myself) over the years.

.

And I think the same is true for Prince. He could be a bit of a dick and as fans we've all had moments with him, but he became a better man over time.

.

Maybe he did treat women as his sex toys, especially in the 80s, but in the last 10-15 years, I don't think he was like that anymore. Including his friendships with women like Damaris and Judith Hill, I'm not convinced they were his girlfriends (some ppl have said). I think the last serious relationship may have been Andy Allo.

.

Oh and as far as the PP confessions thread, most of that is fantasy fiction, seriously.

I agree with ya on this post, as for me I feel I have always known Prince was like this even without hearing all the t. You can just tell like you said by his musical content, the protege projects and other clues. I think this is why I sometimes did not fantasize about him back in the day as much as I would have. I would just focus on his music and still feel a certain way about it, but just not necessarily dream about him all the time when I was a younger more impressionable girl.

Prince had it going on and if he could get that many women, then more power to him. I do not like macho men or womanizing behavior, but I guess with Prince I wear rose-colored glasses and don't think about that crap, or it would drive me batty. I just focus on his music and like to hear these stories simply for fun.

[Edited 8/9/16 21:22pm]

It's silly to take issue with any of the stuff mentioned. I have no problem believing wild stories about him - not saying it's all true, but hell, the man was a world famous, fine ass rock star! With a clearly healthy libido, if he could get pussy on demand, why not? They were all willing adults, & at least he seemed to change a bit over time & wanted real love in his life, even if it didn't last. Relationships fail all the time, & sadly his didn't work out. & while no one should cheat on their spouse, you kinda know what you're getting into with musicians/actors/athletes, especially when they're super famous. Women wanted to believe they were the ONE, & maybe he believed it too... until he didn't [Edited 8/15/16 0:07am]

Yeah, I don't have much problem believing it either...it may well be fantasy fiction, but I strongly suspect P's sex life resembled fantasy fiction written by P (which I'd hope would be as freaky and over the top as it should be...and if it wasn't I would kind of want my money back ). That said, yes they were all willing adults (he made damn sure of that), but still...the youngness of a lot of them, and the age gap, when taken with his power/status and the fact that dude was, y'know, a sex vortex....kind of makes me uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure when he decided to glamour you any self-preservation instincts you might have had would prettty much go out the window...and as you say, he had a short attention span...and was pretty avoidant when it came to being honest with people about what he was up to (the way he broke up with Nona is kind of disgraceful if true)...so yeah, he made a mess of a fair few people, and that does sit awkwardly for me. And then again, I watch him play guitar and remember the man was basically just pure libidinal energy made flesh...I don't think he was put on the earth as husband material, and in some ways I think that kind of sucked for him as well, but hey, it left us with the most incredible body of work....

See, I never dug into all his personal shit. I don't know how he broke up with Nona I imagine it sucks being an admirer of someone like that, & having it go sour - colors how you feel about the music from there out (which would SUCKKKK SOOOO HARD!!). As lucky as I consider the chicks who were glamoured by P, I can see how it would have been safer to dig him from afar. But hell, they had to try. I would have fallen down the rabbit hole with him in a heart beat, knowing I'd likely get my heart smashed in the end. I don't think I would gave been able to help myself

Yeah, I wouldn't have stood a chance - not even now, when I am supposedly worldly wise an all, which is why I kind of feel for them. Luckily it makes not a jot of difference to how I feel about the music, and I don't think the music would have be the same without all that sexual energy in it...so, I guess if we have to add up all the pleasure and all the pain created, the joy comes out way on top...

Edited to add: Also, yeah, I never dug into his personal shit before April, but I think I needed to try and understand what happened, so I've been trying really hard to work him out....

The music definitely wouldn't have been the same without the sexual energy, it's so much a part of who P was, & how open he could be about something lots of people keep hidden & shy away from. It's part of what drew me to him for sure - his openness, explicitness, nastiness, & giving zero fucks expressing it in the studio & on stage. Creatively at that! Sometimes sweet, sometimes rough. I love that about him, it really spoke to me, & that was just one aspect of his game.
