We have a political strategist friend who, while a hardcore lefty, prefers sleeping with Republicans because "there's all that repressed sexual energy." Seeing as how he's a total ladies man, it's hard to argue with that. But does it work the other way around? (It seems to work for baldy Dem James Carville and sassy Bush I staffer Mary Matalin.)
Scanner brings you A List of Reasons Why You Should Sleep With Your (Political) Rivals... and let's you answer the question posed in this blog's title...
The List of Reasons to Sleep With Your Political Opposites:
- Hot grunge fucking in response to ideological policy proposals you disagree with.
- Anal sex would take on a whole new dimension and reward level come tax time.
- Political discussion and arguments produce an orgasm rich environment.
- Hate breeds. Literally.
- People who always agree with you are boring.
- State of the Union sex games. Every time only your half of the chamber applauds the other must submit to a new position (and vice versa).
- Twister: Poll dancing and push polling edition.
- The relationship provides a wider selection of magazines on the coffee table.
- You pay much more attention come pillow talk time. (Careful not to get caught taking notes.)
And finally: Swing State Key Parties!
I'd also add to this by giving a shout out to fuckthevote.com, the website that encouraged people to sleep with conservatives and then somehow convince them to change their opinions, now defunct. Now, vent your frustrations and tell your hate-sex stories in the comments.
