Are conservative sexual mores so abysmal that these guys feel compelled to cheat?

[Bicoastal]

If I spent a lifetime around phrases like "family values," "purity balls," "sanctity of marriage," "abstinence education," "sanctity of marriage," "pro-life," etc...

...hell, I too would probably end up ditching the family and slipping off to Argentina.

1. They just can't acknowledge the sexual side of humanity

We are some earthy creatures.

[NashVegas]

2. "You Gotta Sin to Be Saved"

That theory that your belief and love of Jesus will get you a "get out of hell free" card allows a person to make a lot of trespasses.

3. A couple of high profile Dems in California got caught in the last few years, however

the difference is they never did the holier than thou shit.

4. If you are a conservative, you are only allowed to screw to procreate

Oral sex is completely out of the question. Even holding your two "magnificent parts" in the moonlight is taboo. Separate beds are preferred, like Ozzie and Harriet. No looking at the wife while she's showering. "Purity balls"? doesn't that hurt?

5. They could call them "pureed balls" in Sanford and Ensign's case

6. The more you repress what is natural,

the more it leaks out in harmful ways. Hence the rampant adultery, incest/molestation, violence, warmongering, etc. among the RRRW.

8. Are you married? I want to sleep with your spouse.

Shouldn't I repress my feelings to bonk out of respect for the both of you?

There are lots of tangents here, but they needn't be said. Some repression is good.

[Bicoastal]

11. I think you mean, some repression is NECESSARY.

Repression is never "good."

But anyways, if you constantly deal with more repression than is healthy on a daily basis, then you're in a bad marriage. Have any in-office politicians ever thought of divorcing their wives BEFORE cheating on them?

[NMMNG]

12. Yes I'm married.

If you knew who she was you wouldn't even pretend you wanted to "bonk" her.

And why the hell are you pushing RRRW memes around here anyway?

[Sapphocrat]

13. In this case, you should repress your feelings...

...out of simple self-preservation.

I am NMMNG's spouse, Hypno.

7. They're phony and only side with "corporate values". Until they get cheated on by them too.

9. Doing what he did wouldn't be against the rules if nobody ever wanted to go ahead and do it.

14. You gotta understand the republican woman/wife mentality.

Somewhat akin to the catholic girl syndrome.
Aka cold as ice.
