Harvard Study: Aging Liberal Men Have More Sex than Conservative Counterparts

http://www.alternet.org/sex-amp-relationships/harvard-study-aging-liberal-men-have-more-sex-conservative-counterparts

In one of the oddest discoveries, researchers found that aging liberals had much more active sex lives than their conservative counterparts. Though political ideology had no bearing on overall life satisfaction, the conservative participants ended their sex lives at around age 68 on average, while most liberal men continued having sex regularly well into their 80s. Vaillant was himself puzzled by this, noting that he’d consulted urologists about the findings but “they have no idea why it might be so.”

I'd say, that's because liberal men, aging or otherwise, actually LIKE women (and those we might have sex with).

Faux Newz tries to keep their viewers stoked up by parading women in short skirts around whenever possible.

I know it rots their brains, so I wouldn't be surprised if it affected other parts as well.

that liberals are born of the satanic act of sexual intercourse. On the other hand, the pure and innocent stork drops conservative babies from the sky.

.....wingers need a lot more sex.

I mean, consider Ann Coulter. She might be a lot happier.

William Kristol, well, there's little hope for him.
