There was more to the Founding Fathers and past presidents like Abraham Lincoln than we were ever taught in history class or were able to read in a book. But now, thanks to porn king Larry Flynt, we can read all the sordid details because according to him, the lives of the nation's past presidents were governed by sex. In his new book One Nation under Sex, he takes an up-close-and-personal look at the sex lives of the Founding Fathers and beyond. Players: According to Larry Flynt, Abraham Lincoln, left, enjoyed sharing his bed with men; while Founding Father Ben Franklin, right, apparently helped save the American Revolution by seducing French women While historians are marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Flynt is pushing his expose of the seamier side of United States presidents and first ladies. He told The Daily Beast: 'There's been a lot left out of history books, and we wanted to be more inclusive. For 35 years I've been exposing corrupt politicians, and I wanted to know if our Founding Fathers had the same follies or not.' Hustler: Flynt is more widely known for his porn empire which includes X-rated porn DVDs, magazines, and strip clubs Some of the things Flynt reveals in his book are how Ben Franklin helped save the American Revolution by seducing French women, that Dolley Madison slept around, and James Buchanan's gay love affair with a slave owner was a boon for secessionists. He also claims that Abe Lincoln liked to share beds with men and Eleanor Roosevelt's lesbian affairs helped her become a crusader for equal rights. He also talks about the sexual prowess of Bill Clinton and JFK. Speaking of his book, Flynt said: 'Don't get me wrong - I'm the first person to defend a philandering president if he can still balance the budget. But I think discretion should play a part in it.' Flynt teamed up with Columbia University lecturer David Eisenbach to write his book, in order to give it some credibility. He said: 'I knew no one would read a historical book by a pornographer so I brought him in for the credibility.' Eisenbach said that many academics scorn books written for public consumption and certainly those dealing with sex lives, 'so I knew this wouldn't help my career,' he admits. 'But there's more to life than tenure.' Flynt, who survived an assassination attempt in 1978, is paralysed from the waist down and has spent the last 30 years in a wheelchair. He has recently invested his time in gathering dirt on potential candidates for the 2012 presidency and is seen as a thorn in the side of hypocritical lawmakers and a supporter of sexual freedom for all. Most see him as nothing but a pedlar of porn for his Hustler empire which is the leading producer of X-rated DVDS and magazines. He also owns a chain of strip clubs throughout the country. Continuing the tradition? Flynt talks up the sexual prowess of John F Kennedy, left; right, Bill Clinton's sexual escapades with White House intern Monica Lewinsky nearly got him impeached According to MSNBC, Flynt and Eisenbach say they were disappointed that historians have mostly whitewashed the Founding Fathers when it comes to spreading the word about their personal exploits. Expose: Flynt's book, One Nation Under Sex, reveals how the private lives of Presidents and their lovers changed the course of U.S. history They researched and sourced the material over several years from sources including the National Archives, the Woodrow Wilson papers at Princeton, and the Roosevelt and other presidential libraries. Some of the things that Flynt unearthed particularly irritated him. He said: 'I think Jefferson was like the Energizer Bunny with more than just Sally Hemmings if you know what I mean. Historians have stayed clear of anything that might be unsavoury about the guy who drafted the Constitution.' According to the Daily Beast, Flynt was also surprised to discover that Buchanan had a gay lover yet supported slavery. He said: 'You'd think he'd identify with oppressed people but he was a staunch segregationist.' Eisenbach said that 2012 presidential candidates should not rest easy in the hope that the book has taken over all of Flynt's spare time. He said: 'He has kind of held back a bit, but as we get closer to the election there will be more revelations forthcoming. 'Let's just say, for example, that if you are making a big stand against gays in the military or gays marrying, you'd better have a clean bill of health on your own marriage vows.' Flynt will begin the book tour this month but said he has his eye very much on the next election cycle: 'For more than 30 years, we've established ourselves as people who pay for information, and we are constantly looking for and getting it. 'There's some people I've had my eye on for a long time in the Senate and Congress and eventually things will materialize. 'We focus on all of them, but the conservative Republicans make it so easy, they've got so much baggage.'

Circuit Riders had to share beds. There weren't enough rooms at the few inns on the way. No biggy. Three and four to a bed, all smelling like yesteryear's sweat is hardly my idea of how to arouse sexual interest, spooning or not.
Having been exposed to Flynt since I was a kid - our home was one that received his infamoust 'war - the real pornography' mailer when Si Leis was prosecuting him in Hamilton County (cincinnati) in the early 70's - I know better than to take anything he says seriously. I still shake my head when he tries to blame 'rightwingers' for his being shot, when the actually reason was he screwed the mob out of profits from porn movies. As for Lincoln being gay...all that claim demonstrates is some in the gay community have wild fantasy's.
After mom died in the late 60's, I finished my education in L.A., when I came back I met Flynt a couple of times myself through friends, to this day my flesh still crawls....
I know the feeling. When you posted your slander thread on me hoping I was one of those McCarthys who were deservedly in legal trouble, I had trouble understanding how someone who had not even met me could be so shallow and cruel in intent to no good end. I am not fond of this man. His shallow desire to shock to make a buck and gain notoriety was more focused than your throwing crap at me to see what stuck, but comes from the same bad part of the worst in people. I have seen much of your good side in forum, as well as the bad. But I forgive you this act and just ask you think about what I say here. Because I wouldn't be saying this unless I cared and did not know you have a good side to you and have done many good things in your life. I used that experience with someone's desire for revenge and their hatred to reflect on times I was needlessly vindictive and cruel as a tool to continue to reinforce my resolve to always to better in my dealings with people. We all have a good side and a bad side. And our good side can always stand some reinforcement and reflection to help keep the temptation away to forget how expressing the bad in us can hurt our sense of human dignity. And never helps our standing in the community at large. It's good to see you back here and posting by the way. And I hope things are going well for you and yours'.
LOL! Can you spell and define HYPOCRITE, mustelid?
Hit a nerve in you did it? Good. You post here not so much to slam as it is to answer guilt you must feel on some level over your general conduct as a baiter in forums. Thanks for the post, it says a lot between it's lines.
My ulnar nerve. It sure did make me laugh!
I never ever begrudge anyone having a good laugh; but why does your's always metaphorically emanate from your anus? And here you are again with another unwelcome invite to lower myself to your level. You will never learn; will you?
Not always, mustelid, just for special posters who are easily duped suckers.
Mail.
I hope you know that a k a stone can read your mail...and according to several sources, he does.
Fred, how can A K A Stone read personal Gmail I send to anyone ... explain, please. Never mind ... I will take care of it. Stone, Fred says you can read the personal Gmail I send out ... I know that Fred is lying, just wanted to let you know that.
Mail on LF, you dipshit.
Have you learned anything about the honesty of the poster calling him/herself "Tater", aka Gatlin??
Yes, I have. I'm ready to put him on bozo with Mad Dog and Whitey. However, I'll give her a few more days to get under my skin.
Appears you won't have that option. If I read the thread right, you posted to Tater/Gatlin, Tater/Gatlin called in A K A Stone, and you got banned.
Then read it again. Tater had nothing to do with this, what Fred said about stone was uncalled for, and without justification.
