Friends revealed that Brando was so in charge that he made Dean watch him have sex with strangers who he had just met as part of a twisted mind game.
Brando never reciprocated Dean's love and played a 'cat-and-mouse game' with his younger lover for his own amusement.
Friends said that Dean was like a 'puppy dog' who would loiter outside Brando's apartment in the cold - in the desperate hope his idol would invite him in for sex.
Dean and Brando were two of the icons of their generation but their dark personal currents drew them together, the book says.
The two men both studied under acting coach Lee Strasberg, they were both discovered by director Elia Kazan and they were both intense, brooding characters.
In some ways Dean was considered the successor to Brando and only got his roles in Rebel Without a Cause and East of Eden because Brando turned them both down.
In James Dean: Tomorrow Never Comes, which is due out next on Blood Moon Productions, authors Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince reveal that their relationship was far more complex than had been thought.
