He jokes that their enduring bond depends on “good sex”, a comment that reportedly infuriates his wife Jill Biden. This snippet comes from Rogers’ book that was exclusively excerpted by Daily Mail. Rogers is a seasoned reporter at the New York Times.

Joe Biden, known for his public displays of affection towards Jill, frequently shares moments of romance, from kisses before boarding Air Force One to enjoying date nights. He often introduces himself as “Jill’s husband”.

Despite the pressures of the White House, these gestures indicate a relationship unmarred by stress, Daily Mail noted. The president’s candidness about the personal aspects of their marriage, although amusing to some, underscores a deep-seated love and commitment that has been a constant theme throughout his political career.

In 2006, Biden’s response to a question about pursuing the Democratic nomination highlighted his prioritisation of family and marital intimacy over political ambitions. 

He said, “I’d rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep.” His spokesman later explained that it was evidence of Biden’s lack of egotistical motives in his political pursuits. It also shows that he is “totally in love” with Jill, his spokesman added.

Netizens react

Netizens have reacted to Joe Biden’s “good sex” comment. “Joe Biden who can’t climb the stairs without falling, says the secret to his marriage is “good sex.” Really,” said one user on X (formerly Twitter).

“Joe Biden thinks it’s OK to talk to White House aides about his sęx life. While I didn’t think anyone wanted to think about this I’m sure they’re not surprised,” said another.
