Sex and Politics Go Hand in Hand

You may be asking yourself, “What does she mean, sex is political?” Well, it’s quite simple.

Politics are our views and actions based on materialistic ideals. You can learn a lot about somebody by asking them what their political views are. For example, people who are pro-life aren’t just pro-life because they believe killing is wrong; they just can’t picture themselves being put on trial for killing an unborn child. Politics are personal and self-centered. People pick and choose their lovers based on so many political factors that have absolutely nothing to do with romance. Does he have a good eye color? Was she an acceptable beer pong partner? If we have kids, will they be attractive based on our looks? Are his pants designer? Does he go tanning, and if so, does that mean that he’s possibly gay?

And what about people who base their sexual preferences on political party affiliation? “I won’t sleep with him because he’s a Republican.” That’s just crap. It almost seems like people assume that during sex, their partner will begin to blurt out their views on tax cuts and abortion. Unless, of course, you’re participating in some orgy on the White House lawn accompanied by Bill Clinton (he wouldn’t miss it for the world) and Larry Craig (he’s not gay! He said so himself!), I doubt that would ever even happen. But then again, I never thought I would see a man who could have played poker with Jesus on the Republican ticket. Touché, America, touché.
