readily accessible "help meet"? Or was the lovely Mrs Churchill ever accomodating? One might find both the great man's girth and cigar distracting, and I've heard nasty rumors of an STD being passed along in the family. Does anyone care to elucidate us on Churchill's affairs d' cour? If so, spit it out.

Was there slippage?
It's probably safer to assume there wasn't.
Not all male politicians have trouser malfunction problems.
It's quite clear that Winston and Clementine had a long and successful marriage.
Don't forget he was 65 at the outbreak of WW2, though the date when this incident occured is not recorded:

as far as Sir Winston's parents go.....
Lord Randolph's chums at school got him beastly drunk and set him up with a street whore, which is where he got syph........syphilis takes time to do its work and can even be in remission for years and years and probably neither Randolph or Jennie knew the time bomb ticking away..........till when Winston was just a lad, Randolph Churchill the best and most shining light of his party and a man 100% certain to be Prime Minister, descended into madness over a very public two year period.
One can only assume the effect on Sir Winston......
In William Manchester's excellent, nay definitive 2 volume biography "Winston Churchill: The Last Lion" never even hints at Winston foolin around.
and as a note......through his American mother, Winston was third cousin to both Franklin Roosevelt and Douglass MacArthur.....strong bloodline there.......

The rumour was that his socialite mother got the STD that broke Winston's father's brain.
So far as the general public know, he was faithful, so I shall leave him untarnished.
Nelson and the Duke of Wellington were not perfect in that regard. But they were national heroes, nonetheless.
Churchill felt the burden of history upon his shoulders, for he was a descendent of the Duke of Marlborough.
The fate of an empire in a man's hand often makes him need a brandy glass in the other.

I don't really care. Without him (and Roosevelt, who probably engaged in some extracurricular activity) we would be greeting each other with "Heil!"
