marilyn monroe’s sex life some people would have called me a slut I prefer a vixen Personally, I don’t think I was doing anything wrong I had it all men adored me most men would have done the same thing I did played the field I wasn’t even looking for sex just companionship I had the fame I had the wealth, the looks everything why would I want one man keeping me in place what if I wanted to see a bit more of life through the eyes of other people why am I resented for that so I start seeing my ex again and another ex and a new guy and another you know, most men would normally love to have a no-strings attached relationship with a woman why couldn’t that happen with me why is it people become obsessed with me am I really that famous that perfect I have rejected some of them so many times they had to pick up their ego from the floor but they keep coming back telling me they love me wanting me to choose wanting me to love them back why do they think I want anyone I know I brought this upon myself I wanted to go on this wild trip but I didn’t want to carry any baggage I thought I could make the men carry it for me and it seems that my bags are getting heavier and it seems that the bags under my eyes won’t go away anymore the bags are getting heavier they’re so heavy Copyright Janet Kuypers.
