Elvis and Priscilla Presley married in 1967, more than seven years after their relationship began in Germany in the late 1950s. The couple didn't physically consummate their relationship until their wedding night. In her 1985 memoir "Elvis and Me," Priscilla Presley recalled tearfully begging her boyfriend to meet her physical needs. He refused every time.

She and Elvis kissed and snuggled, and the couple took explicit, sexually charged Polaroid pictures of each other. Throughout their dating years, Elvis carried on flings and affairs, notably with Ann-Margret while filming "Viva Las Vegas." But Priscilla remained technically chaste — per Presley's wishes and in line with a deeply-held personal philosophy regarding whoever he chose to marry.  "Something in his Southern upbringing had taught him that the 'right,' girl was to be saved for marriage. I was that girl," Priscilla wrote in her People essay.

Nine months to the day after their 1967 wedding night, the Presley parents became the Presley family when their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born. After the birth of their child, Elvis lost all sexual interest in his wife, claiming that he couldn't be with a woman in that matter because she'd been sullied by childbirth. "He had mentioned to me before we were married that he had never been able to make love to a woman who had a child," Priscilla wrote in her memoir.
