'Elvis was amazing in bed but I had to teach him one important thing,' says Cybill Shepherd

Cybill Shepherd has talked about teaching Elvis Presley "one major thing" in bed.

The actress met the legendary singer 50 years ago, but it seems she hasn't forgotten a thing about their time together.

After becoming an instant star after her breakthrough roles in 1971's The Last Picture Show and then The Heartbreak Kid the following year, when Elvis heard she was visiting Memphis he wanted to meet her.

Despite just being 22 at the time, Cybill was already quite sure of herself.

Cybill has always been open about her romance with the singer, talking about their sex life multiple times.

The Express reported that she talked in an interview about what she had taught him in bed.

Referring to a chapter in her autobiography, Cybill Disobedience, she mentioned Elvis.

The chapter, which was titled "White boys don't eat...", mentioned how Elvis was reluctant to perform oral sex on Cybill.

She said: "I had to teach him how to do it. There are worse things to teach a man to do!"

However, the romance between them was short lived, with Cybill saying they split due to Elvis' prescription drug habit.

She described him as the "most beautiful man I'd ever seen", but she had "never been interested in drugs at all".

Cybill recalled that he would sometimes come into the bedroom before passing out immediately or leaving drugs and emerald and diamond jewelry for her on the bedside table.

She told Andy Cohen in and interview back in 2019: "He said 'Here’s your drugs.' 'I said, 'Where are yours?' He said, 'I already took them.' So I flushed them down the toilet and left the jewellery there. I kind of wish I’d taken it now…. I learned very early don’t let men give you something to drink or any pills of any kind."

However, Cybill has made it clear that although their short-lived affair was over, she has never forgotten their time together: "I’ve been haunted by Elvis in the sense that when I knew him, he was very sweet but also seriously into drugs... Maybe I could have helped him?"
