The '60s sex symbol, Marianne Faithfull disclosed her aversion to sex in the BBC programme "Who Do You Think You Are?" which is due to broadcast later this month, The Telegraph reported Monday.
Marianne Faithfull admitted that she despised male celebrities and men, in general, adding that she even has to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs to make love with her previous relationships.
The now-66-year-old star confessed that the rape of her mother and grandmother at the end of World War II triggered her aversion towards men and sex, which she claimed lasted for over 30 years.
The 164 'As Tears Go By' singer and now more commonly known for singing 'The Ballad of Lucy Jordan' for the Thelma and Louise soundtrack, explained that her mother, Eva von Sacher-Masoch, Baroness Erisso, hailed from Austria, was attacked by a group of Red Army soldiers while they were liberating Vienna in 1945.
"My mother particularly, and my grandmother, naturally enough, really hated men," Marianne Said, according to a Sunday Times report. "It twisted them both. My grandmother turned away from my grandfather, who adored her. And Eva never got over that and always hated men."
"She then passed that on to me, actually. It took me years, until the time I got to 50 or so, before I could be in a relationship and love; and not have to take drink or drugs to have sex." Marianne Faithfull added.
The singer actress also talked about her relationship with Mick Jagger in 1970 and how she struggled with drug abuse for nearly a decade after ending her relationship with him.
Marianne said that her drug addiction became serious that she spent two years living on the streets of Soho, battling against drug dependency and anorexia.
"I think my mother, and her unconscious and unspoken loathing of men, had a huge effect on me," she added. "It was a big problem for me in the Sixties, especially as I had to pretend that everything was wonderful, wild and sexual. But it really wasn't."
The documentary also featured Marianne Faithfull's mother's relationship with Major Robert Glynn Faithfull after the defeat of the Nazis as well as the struggles of her Jewish grandmother, Flora.
