Sexual activity is higher among self-defined political liberals than among moderates or conservatives, and it is highest among those who describe themselves as 'extreme liberals'.
On the other hand, sexual activity is also above average among 'extreme conservatives'.
Here are the cold, hard statistics. First is the number of sexual encounters per year for the group, followed by the same number adjusted for differences in age, race, and marital status.
Extreme liberal: 73 / 72 sexual encounters per year.These politics are also reflected in the fact that the most sexually active Americans are far more likely than average to approve of premarital or extramarital sex, to see positive benefits in pornography, to watch X-rated films, and to favor giving birth control pills to teenagers.
Liberal: 62 / 62
Slight liberal: 63 / 60
Moderate: 60 / 60
Slight conservative: 55 / 54
Conservative: 52 / 54
Extreme conservative: 59 / 62
But it isn't always liberal attitudes that match up with having a lot of sex. People who own guns also have higher-than-average sexual frequency.

The statistics are surprising. Who knew that they are getting some by those figures? I am intrigued on the age brackets if there are.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't talking only about politicians - it's about anyone and their political views. The (second) figures are adjusted to take account of age - one reason why extreme conservatives numbers improved after adjustment, I think.
