Was Michael Jackson impotent?

The death of stars seems to trigger the public imagination in the most unexpected ways. Probably due to our methodical approach to male and sexual health, some readers engaged us over our Twitter account to ask for MHD’s opinion about Michael’s potency in the context of allegations about the conception of his children with sperm from a donor.

There have been a number of reports as to how bad the state of Jackson’s body was; The Sun reported that the “King of Pop” was a virtual skeleton. It was alleged that he had hardly eaten and only had pills in his stomach. However, we have to wonder how much truth there is in this story.

With all respect (or lack of) due to regular high-quality material published by tabloids, such comments cannot be sustained without hard evidence. However, if you too were wondering how come both Michael’s elder kids have flawlessly white skin, here comes the answer: they were indeed conceived by Michael’s second wife, Debbie Rowe, but are not his biological children. In fact, Rowe herself claims that Paris and Prince were conceived with the help of a sperm donor. “Michael knows the truth. He has to come clean” she is quoted as saying. The fact is, from what Rowe has stated over the years, we can deduce that she and Jackson entered what is called a “surrogacy agreement” in 1996, about nine months before they were officially married. What that means is that she agreed to bear his children - not his biological children, mind you - and got a nice little reward for it.

We also liked the idea of little Blanket being a human clone created from his father’s genetic material. It sounds so high-tech and sci-fi that we could not ignore it, and it tickles our conspiracy sense as well. Fortunately MHD is not written in ink,  so that we can spare some trees from supporting our speculations.

There was so much contradicting information about Michael Jackson, both before and after his death, that any theory can be developed and sustained with “facts” as long as we don’t care who leaked those facts in the press in the first place. Could Michael have normal erections? Dr. Strangelove said yes, and I concur with his opinion. His art tapped well into human sexuallity and he was not shy to dance his way about it. Was he impotent? Modern science has detailed so much the definition of impotence that we find it hard to believe such a theory would hold unless an analysis of his DNA proves us wrong. Sometimes the easiest explanation is simply the truth - he was a normal man with an unusual and very troubled life, and maybe we should remember him this way. No gory picture from the autopsy can shake the living, breathing image of the King of Pop.
