Politics Ruined Our Sex Life
We’re trading orgasms for political opinions.
Politics crawled into our bed.
We wake up in the morning and there’s already someone yelling on TV about family values.
We get home and our partner wants to argue about the latest statement from the trendiest politician. By the time we finally make it to the bedroom, there’s no horniness left to survive that mental noise.
Politics has become the biggest mood killer in modern history.
It’s not paranoia, this is real life now.
Political polarization is literally fucking up our sex lives. And I’m not talking about cute metaphors or academic theories. I’m talking about couples who stopped touching each other because they voted differently. About people who cancel dates after seeing someone’s political views on their social profile.
About families blowing up over dinner and nobody feeling like doing anything afterward.
When did we start letting strangers in suits and ties decide what happens between our sheets? When did we allow their moral agendas to become more important than our most basic, human desires?
