Another had a 30-year affair and seven children with his enslaved woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pull a name from a hat and there\u2019s probably a juicy story about him \u2014 even among the presidents we might not exactly consider Caligulas.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Nixon had an affair in the late 1960s with a Hong Kong cocktail hostess. Lyndon Johnson supposedly slept with four of his six secretaries, asking around before he hired a woman whether she would \u201cshuck her drawers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an old saying: Still waters run deep,\u201d Herman told The Post. \u201cFranklin Roosevelt, a thoughtful, gentlemanly soul whose legs were paralyzed, was quite the ladies\u2019 man.

He may have been a failure in office, but when it came to womanizing, he was world class.<\/p>\n<p>Harding \u201cexuded a raw animal magnetism irresistible to many women,\u201d the author writes. \u201cHis security guards had to keep his female fans from following him around and making embarrassing scenes.

When she heard he would be returning on a train with a girlfriend, she staked out the train station and waited for him. He spotted her and tried to duck out the other side of the train, but she yelled out, \u201cYou needn\u2019t run away, Warren Harding! I can see your big feet!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They married in 1891. But soon Harding was checking himself in to the famous \u201cmedical spa\u201d Battle Creek Sanitarium, founded by cereal inventor John Kellogg, hoping that bowls of cornflakes might dampen his runaway libido.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, he got his wife\u2019s childhood friend pregnant, and was busted by plumbers coming out of a local widow\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>In 1905, Harding began having an affair with his wife\u2019s best friend, a tall strawberry blonde named Carrie Phillips. He wrote her piles of love letters, some 40 or 50 pages long.<\/p>\n<p>In one, he wrote, \u201cThere is one engulfing, enthralling rule of love, the song of your whole being which is a bit sweeter \u2014 the \u2018Oh Warren! Oh Warren!\u2019 When your body quivers with divine paroxysm and your soul hovers for flight with mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lovers secretly met out of town, and when they couldn\u2019t be together, Harding liked to sit in his study wearing a bathrobe that smelled of her and masturbate in front of a fire.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2018Most Americans had no idea that [JFK] had sex every day with at least one woman other than his wife, sometimes several times, and often with more than one woman at once.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Eleanor Herman<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In 1917, Harding began bedding Nan Britton, a 20-year-old from his hometown who was 31 years his junior. At 12, Britton had developed a crush on Harding, covering her room with his photos and scrawling on her school books, \u201cWarren Harding \u2014 he\u2019s a darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harding arranged a rendezvous at New York\u2019s Hotel Imperial on Broadway and 32nd Street. House detectives burst through the door, demanding to know if Britton was older than 21, the age of consent. She wasn\u2019t. The detectives called the police, but when they discovered that Harding was a US senator, they sneaked the pair out of the side entrance.<\/p>\n<p>John Kennedy would give Harding a run for his money in the quantity department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost Americans had no idea that he had sex every day with at least one woman other than his wife, sometimes several times, and often with more than one woman at once,\u201d Herman said.<\/p>\n<p>Jack threw nude pool parties with interns in the White House and had sex with prostitutes in elevators while the Secret Service guarded the door.<\/p>\n<p>The president famously slept with Marilyn Monroe, but he also had a six-minuter with Marlene Dietrich.<\/p>\n<p>In 1962, the 60-year-old actor attended a White House awards reception, where Kennedy pulled her into his bedroom. The screen star hesitated slightly, but only because she worried Kennedy\u2019s bad back might immobilize him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16262995\"><img alt=\"Marilyn Monroe stands between Robert Kennedy (left) and John F.

Making their job especially difficult was the president\u2019s love of blondes, whose stray hairs wife Jackie would know were not hers. The staff combed through the bed and inspected the floor on their hands and knees, cursing, \u201cWhy can\u2019t he get himself a steady brunette?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Buchanan, who served from 1857 to 1861, is the only president never to have married.
