In this fascinating work of popular history, the New York Times bestselling author of Sex with Kings and The Royal Art of Poison uncovers the bedroom secrets of American presidents and explores the surprising ways voters have reacted to their leaders' sex scandals. While Americans have a reputation for being strait-laced, many of the nation's leaders have been anything but puritanical. Alexander Hamilton had a steamy affair with a blackmailing prostitute. John F. Kennedy swam nude with female staff in the White House swimming pool. Is it possible the qualities needed to run for president--narcissism, a thirst for power, a desire for importance--go hand in hand with a tendency to sexual misdoing? In this entertaining and eye-opening book, Eleanor Herman revisits some of the sex scandals that have rocked the nation's capital and shocked the public, while asking the provocative questions: does rampant adultery show a lack of character or the stamina needed to run the country? Or perhaps both? While Americans have judged their leaders' affairs harshly compared to other nations, did they mostly just hate being lied to? And do they now clearly care more about issues other than a politician's sex life? What is sex like with the most powerful man in the world? Is it better than with your average Joe? And when America finally elects a female president, will she, too, have sexual escapades in the Oval Office?… (mais)

Absolutely incredible and entertaining the entire way through. Makes great points and isn't just tabloid smuck. ( )

An enjoyable and interesting read. Depressing how terribly some of the Presidents treated the women. And that has not improved in modern times. ( )

I've heard a few of these stories but never fully in detail like she does in this book. It's seriously amazing and I think everyone would enjoy this book, not just political junkies like myself. ( )

This is a breezily written book recounting the sexual peccadilloes of presidents from Thomas Jefferson to Donald Trump. It's hard to know how much of what she writes is true because there are no footnotes and just a sketchy bibliography. However, who doesn't like a good gossipy read? And this certainly fits the bill.
