Clive Davis Comes Out As Bisexual

Truth rating: 10

Clive Davis confirms his bisexuality for the first time in a new memoir.

The legendary music executive’s “The Soundtrack of My Life” reveals that he had his first sexual encounter with a man during the “era of Studio 54.”

“On this night, after imbibing enough alcohol, I was open to responding to his sexual overtures,” writes the twice-married Davis of his experience, describing it as “welcome relief.”

Davis and his second wife split in 1985 after “soul searching and self-analysis,” and he writes that he entered into simultaneous longterm relationships with two women and a man before becoming monogamous with an unnamed male doctor in 1990.

For the last seven years, he has been in a relationship with a different unidentified male companion.

“Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you’re either straight or gay or lying, but that’s not my experience,” says Davis. “To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate.”

Most of “The Soundtrack of My Life” details his decades-long career in the recording industry, where he’s impacted everyone from Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen to Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys.

An entire chapter is devoted to his work with the late Whitney Houston, with whom Davis was particularly close.

    To judge by your sex history I would call you a slut sir!
    And I would rather not comment on the article per se, as it is exposing world lying propaganda!

    Slat doesn’t necessary mean, that one is working as a prostitute. Specially these days. Slut is actually a nicer title why I had in mind.
    People who are having sex with who ever they feel like to,, have no boundaries, can not control themself are sometimes caled ” easy” as sluts, who have no problem to sleep with anyone for money.
    Many people introducing this lifestyle, changing their sex preferences whatever way they wish, and can’t see anything wrong with sleeping with more people at the same time.
    I am not pushing my standards of morals onto the other people, but I am certainly expressing my opinion, that is in complete disagreement with behaviour like this.
    What is even more disturbing to me is, that man like this writes a book, with public’s believing that he achieved something, that he is a big man, therefor everything else is acceptable. If he has sex with animal, people would still were able to justify it, putting it as a different lifestyle, a new sex wave.
    What is next?!
    I absolutely hate man like him, and the fact that he is actually proud to behave like slut, is beyond me.
    Again, each to each own, but to have sexual relationship with 3 people at the same time, is unexpectable to me, and I believe we are still living in monogamous society.
    If these days someone cheat on other, and it happens to be famous actress ….all hell brokes. People coming with advices,,judgment,…they are disgusted and their fate in love, moral, and marriage are broken and shattered.
    But when some rich white collar funded person, about who I read too much to picture his character, talking about his sex life the way he does in his age, people find it refreshing.
    Well, that’s not me.
    Young generation these days is inspired by money only and mainly. Young people coping rich people behaviour, as exceptable by public, and those associated with those “moral pillars” of our society are pushed to do things they are not comfortable with, sometimes only learn to become comfortable with them, as they weight their option between become somebody or get back home to their ordinary lifes.
    Not just once, celebrity came out and talked out about sexual abuse, wild practise, drugs, etc. At the parties, where rich people can do all they wish, those-wish-to-be small dreamers sacrificing their values for a chimera of fame, only to wale up very late and find themself with depression, unable to cope with their past.
    I believe on certain values, that distinguish us from animals. We are humans, with ability to control ourself, with ability to say no.
    To want something doesnot mean to must have it.
    I could just write, that having a group sex is something against my beliefs, one of many things I am disgusted with in that article..
    But I gues, beliefs are not “cool” anymore.
    And obviously,,,,,we HAVE to accept other lifestyles, otherwise we are just ignorant.

  • MissZee

    it’s fine to have your beliefs…but to take away their rights as citizens because of your beliefs is wrong…if people say that only God can judge, then why is it that everyone is judging those they seem as inferior?..they aren’t changing your lifestyle…and he isn’t going to change yours..also, it is true we are able to control ourselves but there are people who choose not to control it because they are for thrill because they know it is dangerous.
