I'm curious about something. We all the time hear about priests having sexual "lapses." We know that they typically get moved to another parish. Are there any accounts of nuns screwing around? What happens to them?
Religious orders are very closed communities. Once a nun makes final vows, there is a great deal involved in kicking the nun out or her leaving voluntarily, and both instances require the Pope's permission. Religious communities handing things in all sorts of ways, which are often determined by who is in charge at the time. Because of the nature of the closed community, behaviors are tolerated that wouldn't be in other groups perhaps. For example, I know a community in which one of the sisters taught elementary school. Each day after lunch the nun went home and took a nap for an hour or so, leaving her students with work and strict orders to behave and not call attention to themselves. This went on for years actually without intervention.

Most are way too old for JFK, Jr. But generally that's as far as they'd go out loud, and some older nuns think that's just horrible to even say a man is nice looking.
