john was PLOTTING 😭

In her book Body Count, she says:

“He settled right into a chair, with me on his lap. The eyes were bigger than ever, and the kisses started on the neck and worked their way into more interesting places. The sheepdog followed us into the bedroom to watch. He hadn’t been terribly good or terribly bad. He seemed to rush into it, as if thinking about meant he wouldn’t make it. The relationship began on his ‘save me’ lament, not on a rush of sexual flashes.” [...] His eyes searched mine in a tender, helpless way. He asked me, ‘Do you think you could take care of me?’, I said, ‘I don’t know, we’re so different. I’d be glad to give it a try.’ [...] It’s not important sometimes if a person isn’t particularly good in bed. He had his hang-ups, and I think that he felt sometimes that he wasn’t manly enough. […] The relationship began on his ‘save me’ lament, not on a rush of sexual flashes.”

Later in a conversation with someone, they asked her, "You went with Paul McCartney, didn’t you?’ What’s Paul like? I heard he was gay."

And she replied:

‘He might have gone that way but he didn’t. He really didn’t dig fucking that much, if that’s any kind of an answer.’

David Puttman (a friend of Paul who produced the promotional video for "Maybe I'm Amazed") also said this:
