The Politics of a Bi-Partisan Bedroom

Story by Maggie May

“Are you freaking out about the Republican National Convention coming to NYC?” Amelia asked suddenly as we sat waiting for a movie to commence last Sunday afternoon.

“Part of me wants to stay, but a larger part of me wants to flee the city,” said Lila as she shoved a large handful of popcorn into her mouth. We all smiled, thinking back to the last presidential election when Lila literally got fucked by a Republican.

“I’m protesting alongside Greg, the juicy gay-marriage activist I told you about,” said Donny. “I’m only up for a fling with him, though. If it gets more serious, he might catch on to my relative political ignorance.”

Why are political activists so intimidating? Is it because they know more than us, or is it their fearlessness in the face of federal police with tear gas? And does this translate to the bedroom? Are they having better sex than the rest of the population? I called up a few guys and gals on the activist front lines to find out if they were practicing what they preached.

First, I talked to Betsy, a big shot on the activist literary scene. “I think a lot of activists are trying to challenge traditional relationships,” she told me. “Take monogamy, for example—it’s an outdated concept. A lot of us are bisexual, too. Why should some relationships, like marriage, be more valued than others? Not to generalize, but we’re into committed but open relationships.”
