Even during his residence at the Zarzuela Palace, from his abdication in 2014 until his move in 2020, the emeritus king could not resist the temptation of his amorous escapades. Accompanied by an arsenal of essential medicines, his private life has remained as turbulent as ever, navigating between the demands of a lifestyle that defies time.
The Need for Help
Over the years, Juan Carlos I has found that his vitality has evolved in complex ways. In the colonel’s view, he has come to rely on “essential medications for revelry and sexual euphoria,” which shows an adaptation in his quest to maintain relationships with his multiple partners.

Likewise, the journalist Pilar Eyre has shared reports about his alleged testosterone therapy, which would have been an important resource for the emeritus king to be able to continue with his lifestyle. Eyre points out that this treatment was essential for Juan Carlos I to maintain his energy and enthusiasm in a scenario as complex as that of his love affairs.
Reflections on Sexuality

The relevance that the former monarch attaches to his reputation as a passionate lover is undeniable, evidencing a persistent connection with his identity, even in his more advanced years.
