Love Quote by Christine Keeler

"I have always been free with my love - it is my nature. I am easily captivated by men and they have always been attracted to me"

About this Quote

There is a practiced innocence in Keeler’s phrasing, the kind that reads as confession and self-defense at the same time. “Free with my love” sounds generous, even bohemian, but it’s also a strategic reframing: if desire is simply “my nature,” then scandal becomes temperament, not transgression. The line pre-empts moral prosecution by turning choice into character. That’s not an apology; it’s a claim of consistency.

The second sentence sharpens the power dynamic while pretending not to. “Easily captivated by men” casts her as susceptible, romantically porous. Then comes the pivot: “they have always been attracted to me.” Keeler positions herself as both acted upon and magnetizing, a classic move for women whose public narratives are written by tabloids and committees. It grants male desire a kind of inevitability while quietly restoring her agency: she may be “captivated,” but she is also the gravitational center.

Context matters because Keeler wasn’t just a model with a complicated love life; she became a symbol in the Profumo Affair, where sex was treated as a national security problem and a young woman’s body became the headline explanation for elite male recklessness. This quote reads like an attempt to wrest back authorship from a culture that made her either femme fatale or fallen girl. She offers a third role: the self-aware participant, candid about attraction, unimpressed by the court’s hunger for contrition.
