President Joe Biden, 81, has been known to share his belief that "good sex" is the key to a successful marriage, according to an upcoming book about first ladies, including Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D.
This revelation, penned by reporter Katie Rogers in her book, American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to [Dr.] Jill Biden [Ed.D.], is often met with disapproval from his wife.
In a public display of affection for his wife, Biden lamented the lack of "privacy" in the White House during a 2021 interview with Vogue magazine. He expressed his longing for the couple's previous ability to escape for "romantic time."
While the National Institute on Aging (NIA) notes that many older couples find more satisfaction in their sex lives than in their younger years, it also warns of potential health issues that could interfere with intimacy or a fulfilling sex life.
Interestingly, the NIA's leading scientific experts suggest that heightened sexual interest could be a sign of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. The condition, known as "hypersexuality," can lead to increased masturbation and attempts to seduce others, as stated on the NIA website.
Biden's past is marked with instances of sexually assertive behavior towards both genders.
To manage dementia-induced hypersexuality, the NIA advises providing the individual with more attention and reassurance. Physical affection, such as a gentle touch or hug, can also help meet the "emotional needs" of the dementia patient. If these measures prove ineffective, medication may be necessary to control the individual's urges.
In addition to hypersexuality, Biden has displayed other typical symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's, including anger and agitation. Axios reported last year that White House aides are apprehensive of Biden's "quick-trigger temper" and his propensity for expletive-laden outbursts, leading many to "try to avoid meeting alone" with the president.
