In his 2020 memoir, “Promised Land,” Barack Obama avoids all mention of sex in any form or fashion. He has good reason to be discreet.
In 2018, in the paperback version of his Obama biography, “Rising Star,” Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Garrow revealed an element of Obama’s personality that had escaped media attention. Writing to sometimes girlfriend Alex McNear, the 20-something Obama told McNear that he viewed gay sex as “an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life.”
Not yet through with this theme, Obama boldly went where no future president had ever gone before: “You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so.”
