I guarantee FDR did at some point.

I just assumed like all of them before the fifties did. Which brings me to another interesting question, who was the first president,if there ever was one, to never use it, not even to himself?

I'm gonna go ahead and just strike Nixon and Reagan from the list of potential candidates for you. Also Johnson, since whipping your dick out to win arguments seems like an escalation from saying the most shocking thing you can think of to win arguments.

And given that Obama is the only one that grew up during the civil rights movement and all other presidents were already adults by that point, there probably hasn't been such a president yet.

If you narrow that to "in adulthood" or "during their presidency", then I think you'll start getting some hits. Biden, Bush Jr (though more to avoid being recorded saying it and I wouldn't hold my breath), Clinton, and Carter would be my guesses for the "during presidency" one. Probably just Carter and maybe Clinton for the "in adulthood" one.
