  Faithfull had three miscarriages and four abortions. The first abortion was in 1965, when she had become pregnant by Gene Pitney; the procedure was still illegal in the United Kingdom at the time and Faithfull stated that she had a hard time dealing with the guilt. She began to feel better once her son was born the year after. Subsequent terminations were from her period of drug abuse as she did not wish for the children to be born as addicts.
  
  During the 1960s, Faithfull had relationships with both men and women.
