Men act like dogs after having sex
JACK Nicholson says men act like dogs after having sex. The Hollywood bad boy — famous for his womanising ways — says all guys forget about women one hour after having sex with them, just like canines, reports gossip website femalefirst.co.uk.
He said: “We have more in common with a male dog than we do with a woman in this department. This may be male chauvinism in a certain context. But, baby, it’s also science!
“I don’t have much philosophy other than ‘live in the now’. And that’s very difficult to do. Don’t leave something that you really want to do undone.”
But father-of-five Nicholson also said his promiscuous lifestyle in the ’60s could have led to him fathering up to “9 000” children.
He laughed: “There could be 9 000 for all I know — I used to live so freely.”
Nicholson, who smashed a motorist’s car window with a golf club in 1994, says golf still brings out his fiery temper.
The 70-year-old star told Men’s Journal magazine in the US: “I’m not a very Zen guy. I’ve laid in sand traps and cried, and hurled golf clubs in lakes.”
Nicholson says he gave up one-night stands over fears he would catch Aids.
The screen legend says he was terrified of catching the potentially deadly STD when it emerged and admits he became far more careful about sleeping with strangers.
Nicholson said: “In my lifetime, from World War 2 on, life got freer and freer until herpes, then Aids. That was the end, ask any bar owner. Things moved to the right.
“Once this idea that you can die from sex got into people’s heads, it became a weapon in the hands of stiff, erect, martinet father/parent fascists to suppress sensuality. When you start doing that, society gets rigid and social life as I knew it was over, fast. I loved that era, and it’s gone.”
Nicholson also says he pities young people because they have been warned about the dangers of promiscuity.
He explained: “Everything is about infections now. Anybody under 30 has never known the freedom I knew. They’re frightened, they have no idea about alternative lifestyles.
“Freedom has never been part of the air they breathe. Naturally, I reacted differently to this fear of freedom, because it is a fear of feeling. I’m not talking about being profligate with sex and drugs. Fear of freedom is a withholding of love, and it’s unyielding.”
