Sure, maybe the "mistress" word came up about Kennedy after the fact or with FDR. Maybe oral sex by the late 1990s courtesy of Bill Clinton. But the candidate wasn't bringing up the exact words in public discourse while acting in the role or trying to re-win it.

Sex scandals are nothing new, they’ve been with us since the republic was founded. Alexander Hamilton was accused of an affair with a married women while he was likewise married. Thomas Jefferson was publicly accused of fathering children with Sally Hemings. President James Buchanan was widely gossiped to be having homosexual encounters before and during his time in office.

President Grover Cleveland became famous for “Ma Ma, Where’s my Pa?” Chanted at him by trolls, and after he won the second stanza was added “Gone to the White House, Ha ha ha.” And of course the more contemporary Presidents involved in such dalliances include JFK, LBJ, Clinton, Gary Hart, Newt Gingrich, and those are just *some* of the so-called scandals affecting Presidents or Presidential candidates. There were plenty which involved mere Senators or Reps also throughout history.

I agree it’s gotten a lot more graphic lately, and Trump discussing locker room penis size is a new one, but we’ve had faux prudery ever since, well, ever.
