Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Management consultant Hagood charts, in varying levels of detail, the sexual adventures of 13 presidents. He raises the possibility that bachelor president James Buchanan was a homosexual and was deeply involved in an affair with roommate and Pierce administration vice president William Rufus King. He retells the tale of Warren G. Harding "inaugurating" a White House coat closet with longtime mistress Nan Britton. President Kennedy is accused of using LSD to "heighten his sexual pleasure." While sources are provided for many of these tales, many crucial references go undocumented. The chapter on Clinton is the only one that is scrupulously footnoted. For much of its most damning evidence, this chapter relies on Gennifer Flowers's 1995 self-serving memoir. Unscholarly and, failing that, not particularly good trash; not recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good book on the personal lives of our Presidents,
By
This review is from: Presidential Sex: From the Founding Fathers to Bill Clinton (Paperback)
good book on a touchy subject. Presidental Sex deals with the personal lives of our Presidents and their sexual shindigs that they had. From Kennedy to Clinton to George Washington to LBJ, this is a good book. It's humerous in ways. for example, one time JFK was in the swimming pool with i think Bobby and some women when he was told that Jackie was coming to the White House pool for a dip. When she got there, all she saw was the wet footprints of culprits. good book.
3.0 out of 5 stars
A presidential tell all for the ages,
By A Customer
This review is from: Presidential Sex: From the Founding Fathers to Bill Clinton (Paperback)
A revealing glance at the sexual behavior of our past presidents up to Prsident Clinton. What is not said is nearly as interesting as what is. The dalliances of JFK were well known, but what about Dwight D. Eisenhower? The book clearly shows how the media has continually moved toward loser standards as the years progressed. Did you know we had a homosexual president and maybe a vice-president too? It's all there. Humerous and sometimes stupid, but overall, a good effort at a very ugly subject.
