Political question

[RubysLips]

Could you enjoy sex with someone with strong differing political views from your own? I don't know if I could.

I'm a man. I could enjoy sex with just about any woman! As long as we don'the have to talk.

I had a year long fling with a guy who was pretty much about free market capitalism (not entirely, but certainly a lot further in that direction than good old social democrat me). We used to have some interesting discussions, but they always managed to be discussions, veering into debates, but never really 'arguments'. The fling ended a good while back, but we were chatting recently, and I jokingly said I should write him a review. He asked me what it would say. My answer:

9/10. Would fling again. Needs to read more Marx.​

He said he nearly snorted orange juice out his nose when he read it.

So, the short answer - it depends on the person. I have very strong political views, but I don't take myself too seriously. He was much the same. However, in here I've seen people's heads nearly explode of you just whisper 'social welfare' in their ear.

I'd never get laid otherwise.

I'm a centrist, agnostic, swing voting, classically liberal, not very partisan Republican...usually called a RINO nowadays on "my side." I strongly disagree with both parties about many things. It's not uncommon for me to think both are wrong. I can and do maintain friendly relationships with people all across the political spectrum. I don't view politics as a football game with two sides and my self worth going up or down based on whether the scoreboard says I am winning.

Someone that is open minded enough that they can talk with me, genuinely listen to me, and treats me with respect is all I really desire. Besides surrounding myself with only bubbles of people that all agree completely with me sounds horribly boring and stifling.

Yes, if we kept off the subject of politics.

 

[SimonDoom]

Absolutely. I have, and it's been very enjoyable.

I think one can have very strong political views -- I do -- without taking oneself too seriously and while entertaining the possibility that someone with a different view might have something useful or wise to say, and can be an attractive, sexy person. I enjoy talking with people I disagree with politically so long as they can disagree politely.

I think the degree of partisanship is a bigger barrier, for me, than the substance of a partner's views. My view is that one's politics, except in very extreme cases, says nothing about one's worth as a person. I would have a hard time maintaining a long-term relationship with a partner who thought that all the people on this side of the fence are good and all of the people on that side of the fence are bad. But I could still probably have sex with her.

Being an adult means accepting others have different views. If you can’t enjoy sex because of politics, then one of you is doing it wrong.

 

[blackmohammed]

It would depend on what you mean by strongly different political opinion but I think yes as long as you didn't bring it up during.

Also Hell No because if I found out the person I was sleeping with voted for the 45th president it would be the only thing on my mind the whole time.

 

[KimGordon67]

I do draw the line at people who are racist or homophobic or misogynist ... I'm not sure if that's a political difference though?

 

[DMBFFF]

Views? No. Actions? Maybe.

What if it was a black guy who hated white men, Indians, or Koreans, or a woman (assuming you'd ever swing that way) who hated men?

Are you just wandering around random threads trying to be deliberately provocative?

In this case? Provoking specificity? Kinda, I suppose.

 

[KimGordon67]

In this case? Provoking specificity? Kinda, I suppose.

Do you really want me to (a) answer the actual question; and (b) explain in long and theoretical detail why I think a black person being racist towards white people is not the same as a white person being racist towards black people. Because I will ... but be warned, there'll be a test at the end.

Why does it even matter? What is the actual point of your question?

What does it matter? Again, specificity.

As for it being different, yes, I know it's a bit different: though I still get a bit annoyed when some Indo-Guyanese dude yells at a black guy, calling him the "N-word," or when a pretty blond makes blatantly racist comments, or a Jamaican complains about the "faggots" (using the pure vowel—fah-got). Rarely am I derided for my race, but I still find it annoying. I hope you don't find my annoyance at such un-PC.

Can we get back to the topic, which is finding sexy, socially conservative, anarcho-Trotskyists for me?

At times I find feminists fun.

You're welcome. Huh??????

LOL racism is different when white people do it hua?

LMFAO......please explain your bigotry in in long theoretical detail.

Could you enjoy sex with someone with strong differing political views from your own? I don't know if I could.

That seems very intolerant.

 

[SimonDoom]

I can imagine a good erotic story emerging from this idea: two people who hate each other's politics and argue about it while having sex.

The reading audience that found it erotic might be kind of small, but it could be interesting.

 

[Dr. Groove]

Could you enjoy sex with someone with strong differing political views from your own? I don't know if I could.

It would depend on the issues, and what it revealed about their deeper selves. I enjoy a debate and a wide range of perspective besides my own, and don't need people to feel the same as me.

If their political views revealed hateful or hurtful point of view, I would liKelly lose any interest or attraction.

The issues of our times have definitely brought this to bear...
