Even with what just passed (or is still happening?) I don’t get all that jazzed that much over politics. As has been true for most of my time on this planet (the only planet that I am aware of that I have ever spent time on) it doesn’t ever make that much of a difference to my day to day living who is the that big white house in D.C. To me all the bluster comes from people wanting to back the right horse (donkey or elephant in this case) and have their particular philosophies honored. Go forth and have at it I say, I’d rather talk about, think about, write about…sex.
As Eleanor Herman does masterfully in her new book, Sex With Presidents: The Ins and Outs of Love and Lust in the White House. that marries politics and sex in wonderful historical context.
This New York Times best -selling author has managed a score of books, with her Sex with Kings, Sex with the Queen specifically tackling the subject of which powerful leader was doing what to whom while they either led a nation or were well thrust in its politics. In Herman’s latest she gives forth details on people like Thomas Jefferson, Warren Harding, John F. Kennedy (a rather horny top-dog if there ever was one) up to Clinton and Trump, and a whole lot more. But as one would expect from an author of this standing, someone who has penned lots of books and hosted “Lost Worlds” for The History Channel, “The Madness of Henry VIII” for National Geographic Channel and two seasons “America: Fact vs. Fiction” for The American Heroes Channel, there’s lots of history to be learned from Herman’s expert reporting and writing.
You can find more on Herman and her latest book here. I highly recommend giving Sex With Presidents: The Ins and Outs of Love and Lust in the White House a read.
