JFK “almost certainly” infected Jackie with multiple sexually transmitted diseases, including asymptomatic chlamydia that likely caused her fertility problems and made her unable to carry so many pregnancies to term.

While toying with the idea of divorce, Jackie struck a surprising deal with Joe, JFK’s father.
He agreed to pay her a million dollars if she stayed in the marriage, “and millions more if Jack gave her a sexually transmitted disease again.”

JFK sent a depressed Jackie to an elite mental hospital, Valleyhead, Massachusetts, in 1953. There she received three rounds of electroshock therapy in just one week.
The treatment “made her shake so violently that her bones sounded like they were breaking,” Callahan reveals.

The parties were often attended by his brothers, Ted and Bobby, as well as a large number of young employees.

9.
JFK impregnated a 15-year-old babysitter when he was a senator, something Jackie knew about. In fact, her infidelities were so rampant that Jackie suspected JFK of sleeping with his own sister, Lee Radziwill.
10.
Despite this “high libido,” JFK was terrible in bed. Jackie herself said: “He goes too fast and falls asleep.”
Many of his lovers were equally dissatisfied. ‘No kisses, no preparation…no fun. He never lasted more than three minutes and he didn’t seem to enjoy sex,” Callahan writes.
