Ex-lover: Jobs wanted ‘tantric sex in his garden shed’

Further details are emerging from the bomb­shell book about Steve Jobs by ex-lover Chrisann Brennan — including their “sublime” lovemaking, his demand for tantric sex and his reluctance to use contraception.

Brennan dated Jobs for five years from 1972, and they were living together when Apple took off. Their relationship ended in 1977, after she became pregnant with their daughter, Lisa. Jobs denied he was Lisa’s father for years, even though a paternity test in 1979 proved he was.

In “The Bite in the Apple: A Memoir of My Life With Steve Jobs,” bought by Page Six at the Strand Book Store, Brennan describes how they “shared nights of lovemaking so profound that, astonishingly, some fifteen years later, he called me out of the blue to thank me.”

She relates how Jobs visited India in 1974, and returned with new ideas: “It all broke open between us when he asked if I would make tantric love with him in his garden shed.” She writes she refused, as they were not spiritually prepared.

According to the St. Martin’s Press tome, out on Oct 29, Jobs developed a sexist attitude to women after India , saying he “started to reject the feminine aspect as inferior to the glorious masculine.”

And this spilled over into their lovemaking, Brennan writes: “Our birth control method up to that point was Steve’s coitus interruptus, also called the pull-out method, which for him was about his conserving his energy for work.” She added he didn’t want to climax to build “power and wealth by conserving one’s vital energies.”

A concerned Brennan got an IUD, but became pregnant within 24 hours of having it fitted. She writes she knew when conception took place because Jobs was “truly kinder” that night.

But when she told him the news, “Steve’s face turned ugly. He gave me a fiery look. Then he rushed out of the house without a word.” He refused to talk about the baby, and, “told me he felt like I was stealing his genes.”

When the test proved Jobs was Lisa’s dad, he agreed to pay $500 a month support. Apple went public weeks later, making him millions.
