now ex-wife Bobbie and their child, while Sandy, desperate to recapture his youth, dates demure eighteen-year-old Jennifer, dresses in hippie attire and espouses the "feel love" of the new generation. When Sandy and Jennifer visit Jonathan, he presents a slide show of all his lovers (victims), including a picture of Susan from the college years which he attempts to ignore, referring to them all as "frigid ballbusters", and paints increasingly degrading verbal portraits of each woman, upsetting Sandy and Jennifer. The slides included his daughter, as well.

With his impotence increasing, Jonathan seeks out prositute Louise, who obliges Jonathan's obsessive request that she perform a verbal ritual worshipping men's "virile" and "domineering" behavior and castigating women as manipulative and castrating. When Louise veers slightly from the script, an enraged Jonathan, whose libido has immediately faltered, demands that she repeat the lines verbatim to ensure his satisfaction. Even though nothing seen was pornographic, the l971 Oscar-nominated movie displayed Nickolson layed back-to-back on a sofa fully clothed with his legs spread as the prostitute worshipped him while performing oral sex (out-of-sight) at the end of the movie.

Now, I say, shouldn't Carnal Knowledge be used for research on why some men don't or can't establish an intimate relationship with a woman? Today, one of the relational problems with husbands and wives is when the husband has an addiction for pornography supported by an inability to be intimate with his wife.

Nevertheless, this story doesn't stop here, because Nicholson's upbringing was strange at best. He would not discover HOW strange till he was well into his thirties. Nicholson was born on the 22nd of April, 1937, in St Vincent's Hospital, New York City (though there is apparently no record of his birth anywhere), then his mother took him back to her hometown of Neptune, New Jersey, where he was raised by his grandmother as mother, always believing that his own mother was his older sister. He remained unaware of the situation till informed in 1974 by a journalist who'd been researching a feature on him. The details remain sketchy as, by that time, both his mother and grandmother were dead, both having taken their secret to the grave, and Nicholson subsequently had next-to-no contact with his real father. Nicholson, who was surrounded by huge numbers of females in his family, came from a fatherless home. The history of Nicholson is related to a bloodline or males who had tremendous sexual problems with numbers of females, all at one time. Nicholson indicates he is not a churchgoer.

Fast forward, Nicholson played in The Bucket List's with disease issues of prostate cancer at the center of attention. Prostate cancer is a natural for Nicholson whose had armies of sexual experiences. If you will remember, prostate cancer is linked with the numbers of sexual experiences in a male's lifetime, one-out-of three men have prostate cancer. Depending on the number of women, the faster the growing prostate cancer comes. For men carry the human palominos virus (or STDs) from youthful sexual expressions on until in their 50s or 60s when it appears as prostate cancer. Nicholson's doctor bills must be huge over all the numerous sexual partners he has had -- exposing his Sexually Transmitted Diseases through 72 years. If he gets or has syphilis, it's all over.

Nicholson has made more than 72 movies, mostly mirroring his lifetime of sexual adventures, or debauchery. Being linked to a lot of younger partners, Nicholson was also the perfect guy for his role in Somethings Gotta to Give. So you see, the l972 movie Carnal Knowledge, tracks a larger part of the life of Jack Nicholson. When recently interviewed, Nicholson claims he is now looking for love, when considering his intimacy problems with females. Karen Kristopher reporting.
