I don’t know what the significance of this is, but I thought you might find it interesting. Try not to picture this too literally:

The Politics of Sex

Playboy magazine conducted a nationwide survey on the “politics of sex” and found that voters in both blue states and red states “are surprisingly united when it comes to sexual matters, and there is less separation in the bedroom than originally thought.”

* More people under 40 have sex at least once a week than vote for president once every four years.
* 25% of all Republicans and 35% of all Democrats have had more than 10 sexual partners in their lifetime — a higher percentage than vote in congressional and local elections.
* 55% of Republicans have sex at least once a week, compared with just 43% of Democrats.
* 14% of Thompson supporters and 12% of Obama supporters claim to have sex “almost every day.” Just 5% of Clinton and Giuliani supporters have sex that frequently.
* On average, Republicans say they were 18.4 years old when they first had sex. Independents were 17.6 and Democrats were 17.5.
* 58% of respondents think Bill Clinton was the sexiest president of the past 40 years; Ronald Reagan is second, with 22%.
* 38% say Richard Nixon was the least sexy; Bill Clinton is second, with 18%.
* 23% of all Republicans and 24 percent of all Democrats would “definitely” or “probably” say yes to a one-night stand in the Oval Office with a president they found physically and sexually attractive.
* 51% of all Republicans and 67% of all Democrats have watched porn with their sexual partners.
* 55% of people who attend church every week consider themselves to be “sexually adventurous.”
* Americans of both parties say they are more turned on by intelligence than by physical appearance.
