Does someone's politics put you off them sexually?

[NoJo]

Not me. Au contraire. Within limits, of course.

 

[minsue]

It depends. If said person can rationally discuss politics and their views, not at all. If they can passionately discuss it, that's even better. If someone's political opinion differs strongly from my own and all they can offer up is stubbornness, insults, and parroting of pundits without any critical thought of their own, it's a definite turn off.

Damn, I was going to try my Adolph Hitler imitation out on someone.

I think the goose is sexy as hell. Her politics and mine are about as far apart as can be. Like she said, there isn't a turn off unless the person is weded to their own opinion and cannot rationally discuss or defend it.

A short, screaming man in a Lego sized moustache would need to be Ghandi-esque in spirit to turn me on.

I think that combination would be pretty erotic too.

*burp*

I'm a moderate extremist... so I have something in common with most sides.

Okay... the kill all the non-whites crowd is not someone I'm likely to get into bed with.

Nor am I going to get into bed with someone who suggests killing all the white people...

Killing all the white people = no more blondes

That's just SOOOO not cool!

Usually I find MY politics will turn some women off from me... so I generally don't talk about it.

[rgraham666]

Very much so I'm afraid.

In my opinion, no matter how we try, our differences of opinion are going to grate on each other.

No bigger turn off than stress.

 

[Stella_Omega]

It would depend on how much of a disagreement it is. I might be able to strap on for someone who held a political view that I think is repugnant. I wouldn't let him (or her) into me, though...
and I probably wouldn't do it twice, either, come to think of it!

 

[impressive]

Fundamental differences in core beliefs are going to prevent me from fully trusting the other person and, as a consequence, prevent me from "letting go" to the point where the sex can be a true communion. (Aggressive, pissed off, "so there" sex is still possible, though, and can be quite satisfying in isolated instances -- just not as a long-term relationship soul mate type of thing.)

Integrity and altruism are the two biggest turn ons to me. I find very few people on the opposite end of the political spectrum who truly embody these traits. (There ARE exceptions.)

 

[Guest]

Politics turn me off.

 

[elsol]

It just goes to show...

Polititical views are like REALLY extreme religious beliefs.

I'm Catholic... would I NOT fuck a Jewish, Muslism, Pentacostal, Mormon, Buddhists, Wiccan, etc... female?

Errr... FUCK NO!

But let her be a hippy a liberal and I wouldn't let her suck my dick!

I wonder if we just like looking at others and saying "You got da cooties!"

Sincerely,
ElSol

 

[LadyJeanne]

Depends on how widely we differ. If it's a lot, then I might still be attracted to other characteristics and might be interested in a casual sexual encounter. But not for a long-term relationship - it would be hard for me to be in a relationship with a guy who strongly supports certain beliefs, like limiting women's right to choose or insisting ID is science and should be taught in biology class.

I don't want to suck your dick, I'd worry about your right-wing cooties

 

[Guest]

Golly, I don't think I've ever discussed politics before sex. After, don't matter. I do still go for commies though.

Perdita

What about during sex? That can be pretty erotic.

I wouldn't want to run the risk of perpetuating the breed.

Being a moderate extremist, I'm totally screwed on the cooties issue.

I got cooties from both sides! *sigh*

And to make it worse, I'm a relativist so I can't help making fun of both sides and even myself. So I've got those irreverent cooties too.

And I'm Catholic... guilt cooties.

I've got educated cooties.

I've got 'come from welfare family' cooties.

How the fuck am I suppossed to get laid around here?!?

Oh, Stella, I you.

 

[NoJo]

I think the "strap-on" question should be included in the next Gallup Poll.

Um ... I'm not one to stop with a blow job.

Good God! I hope not.
