A sex tape that Monica Lewinsky recorded for Bill Clinton at the height of their scandalous affair has leaked, during which the former White House intern is heard planning a secret sexual rendezvous with the president and declaring she is "too cute and adorable" to be ignored.

On the audio tape obtained by The National Enquirer, Lewinsky at one point tries to seduce the commander in chief: "I could take my clothes off and start... well... I know you wouldn't enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want."

Lewinsky, who turned 40 last week, made the three-minute, 47 second recording in November 1997 and addressed it to "handsome."

Details of the sexually explicit tape are in the new issue of the Enquirer, which hits newsstands Thursday.

It was believed to have been destroyed years ago, but a copy was secretly made and has subsequently surfaced.

Lewinsky is the only voice heard.

On it, she tells the 42nd President: "Since I know you will be alone tomorrow evening, I have two proposals for you, neither of which is you not seeing me."

Lewinsky then orders the leader of the free world to use his secretary, Betty Currie, as a go-between and plan the presidential schedule so they could covertly meet without a formal record of her visit.

"Now the first thing that has to happen is that you need to pre-plan with Betty that you will leave the office at, I don¹t know, at 7, 7:30 so that everyone else who hates me that causes me lots of trouble goes home," she tells Clinton.
