The Manson Family

No, my lunatic radar is very strong.

I did hang out with hippies but would not be happy living with them. I like my own space, always did.

No. I don't associate with the underclass.

No. The idea of living in and with all that trash and filth makes me shudder.

I tend to like people who bathe regularly, so no.

I’d just attend the orgies

Didn't Charlie use some of the hotter guys (Bobby Beausoleil) to attract members to his harem?

No. They all stunk.

I'd ultimately be too lazy to join a cult. Unless you're at the top, they force you to do all types of shit work. I can't be bothered.

I'm not a joiner.

It was just a harem for him. All the 'girls' had to have sex with him.

Did the guys fool around with each other?

R11, I believe one of the male members of the family (Paul Watkins?) said they did in an interview.

Which Manson girl did Lens play?

Gypsy

R15, I am sure Gypsy must have been thrilled with that casting choice.

White trash living among the canyons in Chatsworth still exists. It is a gross subspecies nobody halfway sane or sober associates with. I was sitting in my car drinking a coffee (to go only) and had the AC on and a freak ran to my car and tried to open the door. I started honking and he ran...just a disgusting place and a subset of society exists there that nobody talks about. They are off the grid and you need to run like hell.

Charlie let in just about any man who wanted to join as long as they acknowledged his top-dog status. Girls had to fuck Charlie and anybody Charlie wanted them to fuck, in any way he wanted them to fuck, or they didn't get in. Basically, if you didn't have raging Daddy issues and cripplingly low self-esteem that manifested itself in subservient, hypersexual behavior, Charlie didn't want you. The only exception was if you had access to money--Angela Lansbury's daughter hung out with the Mansons for a while when they were in LA, until Mommy cut off her credit cards.

Manson did not invite homosexuals to join his little family!

If any of us tried to join, we'd probably have been murdered for whatever we had in our pockets.

Sometimes, laziness pays off.

Angela Lansbury was no fool.

R19, wasn't Manson himself quite bisexual?

R21, I believe that Manson had had homosexual relationships in prison, but when he got a chance to have things the way he liked he set up a straight man's dream cult. Few male cult members and those accepted his authority, and the many women were completely sexually subservient. He'd impress guests or pay back favors by telling the girls to "strip and suck", and they girls would immediately drop their clothes and blow whoever he told them to blow. He'd also have them have sex with whoever was convenient to himself, such as potential recruits or the owners of whatever land he was on, or each other when he wanted a show or there was a male-female balance during an orgy. Actual homosexuals would have threatened the group dynamics.

If a single homosexual was there no way would the Manson family's hair dos look like they did. Really!

R22 - actual homosexuals would have threated the group's hair styles.

What sane homosexual would want to hang around people with such questionable hygiene? Can you imagine how those women smelled during those orgies? Perish the thought!

I would've hung out with them, because there were hot boys like Bobby Beausoli around.

The whole story of Manson and how we essentially wandered into his family, etc., is bizarre. I would neither attract them nor be attracted by them.

Why, I’d jump at the chance!

Live with a bunch of naked hippie chicks? No, but thanks for asking.

R29 What about a bunch of naked hippie guys?

Bobby Beausoleil was the only hot one. The other Manso family dudes were very unfortunate looking.

One fun fact that surprised me: I read Diane Lake's autobiography about being a Manson girl. Surprisingly, she said that Charlie Manson insisted they stay clean and wash themselves/bathe daily.

Apparently, Charlie did not abide smelly snatch and cheese dick!

No, they look like they smelled.

Charlie himself didn't bathe much, though.

Manson was fundamentally heterosexual, but power and dominance are what really got him off. He fucked up his parole as a teenager when he was caught raping another boy at knifepoint in the prison showers.

R30 - forget it...they had lice and smelled like the river and were ugly as hell

Er… maybe they looked better with their clothes off.

I would want nothing to do with that stinking bunch of freaks.

Their shaved heads seemed provocative and like the height of cutting edge fashion.

The girls were runaways, most of them picked up on Hollywood Blvd.
