Gipper was no Ron Juan: Piper

He wasn’t the “great communicator” in the sack.

Actress Piper Laurie describes Ronald Reagan — who played her dad in a movie and then bedded the 18-year-old virgin off the set — as an insensitive “show-off” in bed in her new memoir, “Learning to Live Out Loud.”

Laurie played the teenage daughter of the future president, then 39, in the 1950 film “Louisa.”

At the time, Reagan was no longer married to actress Jane Wyman and had not yet started dating Wife No. 2, the former Nancy Davis, when he started flirting with the ingenue, insisting she call him “Ronnie.”

“I was quite flattered by his fatherly attention,” said Laurie, who was later nominated for Oscars for her roles in “The Hustler,” “Carrie” and “Children of a Lesser God.”

The Gipper made his move on the starlet by inviting her to dinner, after getting permission from her mom.

Instead of taking her out, he cooked her dinner at his home, serving hamburgers.

“It was my first love affair,” she said.

But the bedroom romp later that night was “without grace.”

“He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been ‘ardent.’ It was 40 minutes,” she writes. “And he told me how much the condom cost.”

Then, sensing Laurie was less than enthused by the experience, he insulted her.

“There’s something wrong with you. You should have had many orgasms by now — after all this time. You’ve got to see a doctor,” he said.
