Reviews"Packed with colorful character sketches and bawdy puns...this ribald and richly detailed history entertains." -- Publishers Weekly "A racy, revealing look at illicit sex involving the country's highest office." -- Kirkus Reviews "Herman adroitly exhibits her storytelling prowess in blending the documented gossip of the time with personal details from interviews and memoirs to write a book that is both historical and wildly entertaining." -- Library Journal "At a moment when presidential sex scandals have few immediate consequences, this book will remind readers of the moral and political complexity of the topic while providing an entertaining introduction." -- Booklist "Fascinatingly humorous and surprisingly illuminating . . ." -- New York Journal of Books "Well researched...although humorous at times, Sex with Presidents does not water down some of the real miscreants who lived in the White House." -- BookPage "Addictively Good Dish" -- Entertainment Weekly "Sexy, Dishy and Funny" -- New York Times, Well researched...although humorous at times, Sex with Presidents does not water down some of the real miscreants who lived in the White House.

SynopsisIn 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?, 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.

Title was to grab one's attention (as a book title is supposed to do).
This book appears to have been well researched, but to me it seemed to be very biased. The modern day presidents "exposed" in this book were all democrats with little or no republicans (Trump was the exception) being discussed. Ike was said to have "attempted" to have sex with Kay Summersby, but was "unable", possibly out of guilt for cheating on Mamie (author's opinion). No mention was made of H.W. Bush's numerous affairs, or of Ronald Reagan paying for his lover to have an abortion. This book was the height of yellow journalism, and was very one-sided. The author would make a great reporter for the National Enquirer (or as I call it, the "National Caca"). I do not recommend this book for the serious historian. There were several interesting facts, if indeed if they were true, but not enough to rescue this political hack job. Sorry I spent my money on this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
