Sex and Politician

by Mat Nor Timberlake

Now everyone complains about politicians.

Regardless of your political views, most likely you wish and hope that our country could elect candidates who would do better jobs at governing.

Running for national office subjects a person to intense media scrutiny.

If sexual misconduct will disqualify you, then anyone who has had an affair will think twice about running.

We probably lose quite a few potential candidates, including some who would be wise, honest officeholders, before the process even starts.

Politics is a high-risk, high-payoff career, and as such it attracts men with high-testosterone personalities: ambitious, competitive, adventurous, willing to take chances.

And yes, sexually motivated. High testosterone does not promote sexual fidelity.

It makes men want to have more different partners.

On top of the self-selection of adultery-prone men into politics, the opportunities probably increase for a successful politician.

Indeed, part of the attraction of a political career, at least for some men, may be the promise of more women to bed.

Throughout history, kings and other great men have usually had many lovers.

Women are biologically attracted to men of power and authority.

And men of power and authority have a hard time resisting the temptations of large numbers of beautiful women wanting to have sex.

Whatever it is, i personally thinks that politicians are responsible for making and upholding laws

And so if they break laws, perhaps they should be punished!
