Sex Lives of the Presidents: from Washington to Clinton

Sex Lives of the Presidents: from Washington to Clinton, by Nigel Cawthorne

It didn’t start with “Bubba” Clinton, or even Jack Kennedy. Ever since the Father of our Country was sworn in over 200 years ago, the White House has seen its share of oversexed, adulterous, philandering presidents. From Washington’s countless bed partners to Jefferson’s allegedly illegitimate children, Kennedy’s notorious womanizing to Clinton’s unstoppable libido, find out the surprising and sometimes bizarre sexual peccadillos and practices of all the men in the Oval Office.

Scanning this book is one of my guilty pleasures, discovering the torrid and lascivious high jinks and sexual shenanigans of the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500.

Full of salacious anecdotes and ribald tales of the horny Commanders-In-Chief from Washington to Clinton, each one more hilarious a hoot than the previous.

One of my favorites is when Bill Clinton told his close aide, Arkansas state trooper Roger Perry, that Gennifer Flowers “could suck a tennis ball through a garden hose.”
