YNOT – Want better sex? Hook up with a Republican — preferably one older than 60.
That seems to be the gist of a survey of 6,000 American singles 21 and older by Binghamton University and Match.com. The results, reported Friday by The Daily Beast, revealed 59 percent of singles over 60 “almost always” reach orgasm when they have sex. Only 29 percent of 20-somethings reported the same experience.
Where the political parties are concerned, 53 percent of the male and female respondents who identified themselves as “conservative Republicans” reported reaching orgasm almost every time they have sex. In contrast, self-identified “liberal Democrats” reported satisfaction between the sheets nly 40 percent of the time.
But don’t despair, Democrats! You’re having sex more often than your conservative opponents, according to the survey. And apparently, at least you can laugh when the fireworks don’t go off as planned. The survey also indicated Democrats seek partners with a sense of humor, a spirit of independence, relatively equal levels of education and employment, and similar lifestyles. Republicans, on the other hand, find political and ideological matches attractive and tend to date with an eye toward marriage.
Oddly, only 17 percent of men and 20 percent of women said they’ll consider dating only someone in the same political party.
Among the survey’s other findings: More women than men said “bad sex” is a relationship deal-breaker — 50 percent of women vs. 44 percent of men. And although the majority (a whopping 90 percent) of respondents indicated politicians who engage in extramarital affairs are beneath contempt, only one third said they “must have” sexual fidelity in their own relationships.
