A thread on jfk because i’m bored and have had a hyper obsession on him for the past two days
ok so jfk was born may 29 1917 and was the second oldest of nine children to his very wealthy parents. his father was born into a powerful political family in boston and he made a ton of money off the stock market and real estate.
as a child he lived in boston but he moved to new york in his teens. at 14 he went to choate school that his older brother also attended. he was in many sports in hs but he had terrible grades. however, he was the only student subscribed to the nyt so ig he was informed
he became extremely ill at 16 and got pulled out of school to go to the hospital and told his friends “they put so much stuff up my rectum i don’t even feel myself crap anymore” they thought he had leukemia but he didn’t. he had addison’s disease and hid this throughout his polit
ical career. at age 17 he met mary pinchot meyer at a school dance whom he would later have an affair with. he joined the navy to fight in the war but his health was so poor he didn’t even pass the physical. he was able to join because of his fathers connections.
he actually went to harvard BEFORE he went into the navy and he went into the military because of his big brother. his big brother died in the war, his brother actually was the one that wanted to go into politics and after his death john decided he would go into politics.
he had incredibly heroic acts in the navy and ran for congress at age 29. he was elected to congress for three terms and then the senate two times. here’s where it gets interesting. at age 17 he lost his virginity to a prostitute in Harlem.
after this when he was 17 he had back surgery and wrote to his friends “right now im really missing sex” like omfg dawg you just got spine surgery and that’s what you tell your friends ?? anyways he had a terrible sex addiction that would lead him to cheat on jackie a LOT
so enter stage left ms .jacqueline. jackie and john met at a dinner party where he asked her out over the asparagus and then proposed a few months later. three weeks before the wedding he went to paris where he met gunilla von post.
now at this point he is 36 and a senator. he met gunilla when she was 21

that night they go to dinner together and he tells her “i’ve fallen madly in love with you tonight and if i met you just a week ago i would have called this entire wedding off “
so after that night they write back and forth between eachother and they desperately want to meet eachother but things keep getting in the way. he had to have surgery and almost DIES on the table and then they see eachother two years later in 1955 in sweden and spend a week there
so they also consummate the relationship in 1955 and he basically tells her this before they do it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😏" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht"> anyways he meets her parents and they know he’s married but i mean come ON he really loved gunilla like i’m not endorsing cheating but wow.

BRUHHHHH HE LITERALLY TOLD HER THIS. so they leave eachother and he tells his dad he wants to divorce jackie so he can be with gunilla. his dad says no because it would ruin his political future so jfk tells gunilla “it’s so complicated but i wish i could be with you”
after this affair that lasted two years he still has this sex addiction problem so much so he said in a quote “if i am not with a woman nearly every day i get a headache” like come on why don’t you just pop a tylenol
so he actually had an affair with a woman who also was a mobsters mistress while he was president. i’m not even gonna bring up marilyn in this thread because it’s believed that they only slept together once but they were friends.
his brother bobby was also the united states attorney general and saves his brother a LOT because he had a bad habit of sleeping with literal spies. he slept with a NAZI who bobby had to get deported before she could spill to the press.
