People who are obsessed with other people's sex lives ...

[BattyDem]

always seem to be doing something inappropriate (and illegal) in their own sex lives.

I know that DUers see the connection between sexual repression and sexual perversion, but has there ever been an actual study on this topic? I've seen so many of the "GOP/RW Sex Scandal" lists over the last few days and I'd really like to know what makes these people tick.

Does anyone have any info or links? :hi:

Come Back, Clinton Sex Nation
Is the country better off with a president who actually has an active libido? Hell yes.
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

Wednesday, June 11, 2003


Bill Clinton was damn sexy. Oh yes he was. This is a given.

He had The Appeal. Magnetic, charming as hell, a man who you knew actually had sex and enjoyed it and possessed a highly active all-American libido and knew what all the body parts did and where they went, Hillary notwithstanding.

And yet he was president and that made it all a little weird and unusual and refreshing and then of course it turned ugly, and he was vilified and attacked and sneered at from all corners for overusing this libido, but still, there it is.

And women swooned for him, yes they did, and there were articles and commentaries and even in glossy women's fashion mags they talked up the amazing sex appeal of the president, the Southern charm and masculine assurance and that naughty gleam in his eye.

And women had dreams about him, wrote into magazines and called in to talk shows, and they were sexual dreams, trysts and liaisons and Monicas, because women, well, they knew.

They knew it was genuine. They knew Clinton was an honest appreciator of the female form. You get the distinct feeling that Clinton genuinely and respectfully and with great zeal (and yes, also some very poor taste) truly loved women, loved the female gender, so much so he screwed it all up and took it to painful and finally rather sleazy extremes.

3. Just look up Sigmund Freud

Freud coined the term Projection to describe the process of somebody projecting their own unacceptable thoughts and feelings onto others.

I'd say anybody who calls other people's sex lives perverted (think religious right, catholic church) probably can't deal with their own sexual fantasies.
