Even a couple of The Beatles bated together back in the day

It’s not really too often that you hear about the antics that go on behind the scenes of some of the worlds biggest bands and performers, but every now and then a story comes up (excuse the pun) which really grabs the imagination.

You expect to hear about the trashing of hotel rooms, the groupies being kicked out after a blow job in the toilets backstage, or even the occasional orgy on the tour bus, but it’s not often you hear about band members jerking off together even though you know it must happen more than we know.

Maybe these stories are kept secret for the sake of image? I assume tour managers and personal assistants are all sworn to secrecy over a lot of the things that go on, but no one can keep one of the most famous musicians in the world from spilling the beans.

I think it was a one-off. Or maybe it was like a two-off. It wasn’t a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn’t think much of. It was just a group.

Paul McCartney recently revealed in an interview for GQ that he, John Lennon and a couple of other lads from back in the day spent some time wanking one out together!

Yes, you read that right. Paul McCartney and John Lennon had at least one friendly wank with a few friends, possibly two.

Describing the scene McCartney says: “What it was was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.”

He goes on to explain that it was just once, or maybe a couple of times. Personally, I’m wondering if maybe there were quite a few more times and that Paul just wasn’t aware of them. It’s no secret that John Lennon was a little more open-minded than most back in the day, a “free-love” proponent, the kind of guy you could imagine being involved in every orgy within a 100 mile radius of wherever he happened to be.

However many times it was, or however many were involved, McCartney seems to have a healthy attitude to it all these days, adding “It wasn’t a big thing. But, you know, it was just the kind of thing you didn’t think much of. It was just a group.”

We agree with Mr. McCartney, it’s not a big thing, just the kind of thing lads do.
