Study Reveals Why Republicans are More Faithful, Have Better (and More) Sex
This study should be called, “Why You Shouldn’t Marry a Democrat.”

Here’s new fodder for people who are ideologically opposed to walking down the aisle with Democrats. According to a new study, they are less faithful than Republicans when it comes to marriage. The Institute for Family Studies reveals:
Republicans have more sex than Democrats and cheat less on their spouses. Political independents have sex even more often than Republicans but cheat at the same rate Democrats do. Republican sexual frequency is entirely explained by the fact that they’re more likely to be married than are Democrats. On the other hand, there’s no obvious explanation for the partisan difference in adultery.
In fact, Republicans are 23% less likely to cheat than Democrats. Perhaps church attendance is a factor? According to the study, “Republicans tend to have happier marriages than do Democrats… Republicans are also more likely to be churchgoers, which in turn leads to happier relationships.”
To explore why Republicans have more sex, the study suggests it’s merely a function of marriage:
The more active sex lives of Republicans are entirely the product of political differences in marriage: married Americans are more likely to be Republicans, and anyone with a live-in relationship has more sex than does an otherwise comparable single person.
In an era when the culture tries to make people believe that liberals are out there living it up in their non-conservative ways, this study is a helpful antidote.
