File this under things you never wanted to know about Ronald Reagan: He was a cocky lover who complained about the cost of condoms, according to a former flame.
Actress Piper Laurie dishes on the Gipper in her new memoir “Learning to Live Out Loud,” revealing she was an 18-year-old virgin in 1950 when she had a roll in the hay with then-39-year-old Reagan, who played her father in the film “Louisa.”
After asking her mother to take her out on a date, Reagan (then divorced from first wife Jane Wyman) took Laurie to his home and cooked her a hamburger before luring her into the bedroom.
“He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been ‘ardent.’ It was 40 minutes,” Laurie, now 79, writes. “And he told me how much the condom cost.”
When Laurie expressed her dissatisfaction with their encounter, she says the future president snapped: “There’s something wrong with you. You should have had many orgasms by now. You’ve got to see a doctor.”
Evidently he wasn’t a Great Communicator in bed.
