WHEN Bill and Hillary Clinton have sex, there's little love involved. At least that's how Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler imagines it in his upcoming short-story collection, "Intercourse," in which he goes inside the minds of famous couples as they get it on.

Butler conjures up a sweaty encounter between Bill and Hillary when he's 24, she's 23, and they're Yale law students. "This has to be done at this point, although I miss the surprise, I miss the gasp from . . . the dropping of my pants when they least expect it," the future president muses.

Meanwhile, the future New York senator with even bigger ambitions thinks: "Choosing to [bleep] a specific man in a specific bed on a specific day is political . . . One day we'll be [having sex in the Oval Office] and there's a soft knock at the door and the secretary knows not to barge in and she says, 'Madame President, the Soviet premier is on the phone."

Other couples whose erotic escapades are imagined in the book include George W. and Laura Bush, Charles and Diana, and Richard and Pat Nixon.
