  (#7) He May Have Felt The Need To Maintain Priscilla's Virginity

  Elvis placed a lot of value on virginity. His preference for young women was widely known, but he wasn't quite the sex fiend that many assumed. When he first met Priscilla, she was 14 years old and still a virgin. Although fellow military officers saw him take her up to his room where they stayed until the early hours of the morning, he apparently did not consummate the relationship that night. In fact, it took him quite a while, with a lot of insistence from Priscilla, to have sex with her.

  Joel Williamson, author of Elvis Presley: A Southern Life, wrote, "He made love to her in every way short of penetration. It was as if Priscilla’s virginity was another thing that Elvis strangely and sorely needed to maintain."

  (#2) Both Natalie Wood And Cybill Shepard Criticized His Prowess In The Bedroom

  Cybill Shepherd had a brief affair with Elvis, and she said that the sex was mediocre. In Elvis: A Southern Life, Williamson writes of Shepherd's recounted experience, "He was a great kisser and very sweet, but not the stud she had expected. She ascribed the difficulty to the drugs he was taking. "It was hard for him to be a natural man,' she said. In her 2000 memoir, Shepherd wrote that she taught Elvis some new sexual techniques, but that in the end, she couldn't handle his drug use.

  Additionally, Rebel Without A Cause star Natalie Wood reportedly stormed out of Presley's bedroom 20 minutes after he wooed her, asking his entourage, "What's the matter with your boss? He's all hands and no action. I thought he was supposed to be king of the sack, but he doesn't want to do it with me." Wood also reportedly told her sister, "He can sing, but he can't do much else."

  (#4) He May Have Given 17-Year-Old Priscilla Amphetamines To Keep Her Awake For Sex

  Elvis and Priscilla often role-played in the bedroom. According to Priscilla and others close to the couple, Elvis also liked to watch Priscilla with other women: "At times, Elvis introduced another girl into the sex scene in his bedroom. In this play, Elvis had Priscilla and the girl pretend to make love while he watched, filmed, and sometimes joined in."

  Elvis gave Priscilla amphetamines, to which he was addicted, to keep her awake during their late-night sex sessions. The pair used a Polaroid camera to photograph their escapades. Elvis kept the images in a silver suitcase, which was delivered to Priscilla after his death.

  (#9) At One Point, Elvis Was Allegedly Dating Five Women

  Elvis led a very complicated love life, which isn't all that surprising considering how many young women were enamored with him. He publicly dated his first serious girlfriend, Anita Wood, for several years.

  Although they had a serious relationship, it wasn't strong enough to survive his introduction to Priscilla Beaulieu while he was stationed in Germany. Wood overhead Elvis telling his father he was torn between her and Priscilla, and she decided to end the relationship.

  During his and Priscilla's marriage, Elvis was dating five women. One was Viva Las Vegas costar Ann-Margret Olsson; when Priscilla found out about the relationship, she reportedly "picked up a flower vase and threw it across the room." Priscilla, in her own words, began to style her hair like Ann-Margret in an attempt to emulate her and win back Elvis's affections.

  (#6) A Tell-All Claims He Installed Two-Way Mirrors In His House To Watch People

  Three of Elvis's disgruntled security guards wrote a tell-all book titled Elvis: What Happened? after they were fired. In it, they claimed that Elvis seduced a 17-year-old girl who overdosed in his Palm Springs home. She suffered permanent brain damage but refused to sue out of loyalty to the singer. In another story, Elvis threw a pool cue at a girl who interrupted his game, causing serious damage to her chest. 

  Elvis also allegedly hosted parties that often involved sex between attendees and dancers. He installed two-way mirrors in his bathrooms to watch couples have sex and to see women undress.

  (#3) Elvis Reportedly Fired Gunshots At His Last Fiancé And Was Extremely Controlling

  Pageant girl Ginger Alden entered into a relationship with Elvis Presley when she was 20 and he was 41, but she reportedly met him much earlier in her life. When she was five years old, her father worked in Army public relations, and she claims it was through him that she first met Elvis.

  She and her sister Terry, a fellow Tennessee beauty queen, both met with Presley as potential partners, and it was Ginger who impressed him the most. Terry lost Elvis's affections after she easily beat him in an arm wrestling contest. He had hoped to start a new life with Ginger, but they had a tumultuous relationship, and Elvis was abusive – he once fired shots over her car as she drove away after a fight. Elvis also asked an aide to let the air out of Ginger's tires so she couldn't leave, and he threatened to lock her inside the gates of Graceland.
