Politics & Sex Mix

Politics & Sex Mix


At the top of our profile we list that we are not interested in meeting Trump supporters. We have received many responses with support but, from time to time, we receive criticism that we bring politics into a dating site. Here's our take on this.

Good sex is not just a physical experience. It is a fusion of intellectual, emotional, spiritual and, yes, physical, energy. So not only is it important that you think your partners are beautiful and that their bodies feel good, it is equally essential that you think they are intelligent, creative, compassionate and interesting human beings. The more you appreciate your partners in different fields the higher the chances that you will have great fun in bed.

Therefor it is completely appropriate, wise even, to take political leanings into consideration when you are selecting partners. What's more, we're sapiosexuals and we are very aware of that. When we encounter intelligent, creative and funny people they become more beautiful in our minds, our fun in bed is multiplied, our orgasms are longer and stronger. We have had wonderful experiences with other couples, men and women where we fluidly move from sex to jokes to intellectual and political discourse and back to sex for many hours.

To suggest politics has no role on a dating site is to suggest attraction has no mental, intellectual or spiritual component. It is the suggestion that sex is only about physical fulfillment. This is a shallow view that can not lead to the deep human connections and wonderful bonds that can take sex to another dimension.

This dating site actually acknowledges that it is important to have the ability to select partners on things other than physical features: when you fill out your profile there are questions about religion, education and social orientation.

Strongly agree with your general perspective...and even more strongly, if that is possible, with your specific application of it. I have never understood people who appear to be sex-positive enough to be in this lifestyle, but are comfortable with the forced-birther, anti-LGBT, spit-on-the-poor, anti-social solidarity agenda of the current republican party - let alone the existential threat to democracy and global stability posed by the current occupant of the White House.

On another website, I am a member of a group called "Swinging Liberally." I have left a bed without cumming (politely, making excuses, but those were lies) when I have learned that my partners (both of whom I had satisfied, by the way) espoused political positions that I found abhorrent.

Wish you two lived closer...or maybe I should move back to the Left coast.

I will respectfully take the other side of the argument. Only seeing people who are philosophically and politically similar to you just reinforces your already preferred beliefs. That is okay but it is hard to learn and grow in that situation. When you have friends and intimate partners who differ from you, you can begin to see a wider picture and may find a different prospective.

Of course, it is dependent on you and the other person. If you or they explode every time a discussion begins or are disrespectful of the opinions expressed, learning and understanding is lost almost immediately. The conversation morphs into a game of wills and winning the argument. In my opinion, the art of respectful conversation and expressing differing opinions is a lost skill in our society. It is our loss and it is huge loss. We will continue to struggle personally and as a society until we learn to be quiet and consider other opinions, rather than thinking of the next snappy comeback.

My point is that rather than seeking only people that agree with you, maybe it is wiser to seek people who can communicate their thoughts and ideas in a calm and rational manner.

I agree, intercourse happens on many levels.

How do you know they are telling the truth? Voting is a private thing, thank goodness. Anyone can say they voted this or that way. But, you really don't know.
