There was glamorous Jackie, of course. And mother Rose, who nurtured his White House ambitions. And all the others: a movie star, a teenaged intern, a mistress with Mafia ties and more.
Without a doubt, John F. Kennedy -- whose assassination 50 years ago this month still looms large in the American consciousness -- had a complicated relationship with women, many women.
Either he embraced them as pillars of strength on his journey to the US presidency, or he toyed with them to satisfy a unfathomable libido, in a "Mad Men" era when alpha males called the shots.
"It depended on the woman," said Larry Sabato, author of the just-published bestseller "The Kennedy Half-Century: The Presidency, Assassination and Lasting Legacy of John F. Kennedy."
"He could be gracious and respectful of those with power and influence," Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, told AFP.
"But JFK had a nearly insatiable sexual appetite -- and in our terms today, he treated young and beautiful women as sexual objects."

Love the last line, but when did alpha males stop calling the shots?
The betas aren't doing it.
