Dr. Ava Cadell: Sexual Personalities of the Presidential Candidates

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have sex with a Democrat versus a Republican? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and not just because of the primary elections. My new e-book called Your Sexual Personality, analyzes the results of my Sexual Compatibility Survey and explains the “Sexual Personalities” of individuals across the spectrum, based on the Big 5 Personalities popular in psychology scholarship. Named together they spell OCEAN — Open, Conscientious, Extraverted, Agreeable and Neurotic. My e-book also analyzes left brain versus right brain thinkers, and how to engage someone in the love language of their dominant hemisphere.

All this research has got me thinking about what the sexual personalities might be of our potential future leaders of this great country. After all, don’t you want your president to have a satisfying sex life? Here are four powerful benefits of having a sexy leader. They’ll be smarter as sex makes your brain cells grow. They’ll be happier with less stress as sex boosts mood-altering hormones and can reduce depression by releasing endorphins. They’ll make better decisions like negotiating peace rather than war as sex releases the love hormone, oxytocin. And finally, they’ll be healthier and stay in good shape, since sex is an aerobic exercise and can even relieve pain. Consequently, sex is great for your health, mentally, physically and emotionally, and in my opinion necessary for the President of the United States of America.

All this research has got me thinking about what the sexual personalities might be of our potential future leaders of this great country. After all, don’t you want your president to have a satisfying sex life?

Here are my speculations about the sexual personalities of the top two candidates for each political party. Of course, this is just my personal opinion as a sexologist (with a naughty sense of humor), and in no way reflects anything the candidate themselves may have said or done.

Republican Candidate Donald Trump — Extravert Sexual Personality

Donald Trump is most likely to be an extravert in bed. As a man who probably uses his left-brain hemisphere more than his right, when he’s horny, I would bet he doesn’t pussyfoot around. He might say to his sexy wife Melania, “I want you now!” and expect her to be in the mood anytime, any place. With this take-charge personality and testosterone-loaded brain, some favorite sexual activities may include taboo sex such as BDSM and anal sex. One thing is for sure, he would not be afraid to initiate sex and make the first move, even if it’s in the Oval office while he’s on the phone with Congress.

Republican Candidate Ted Cruz — Conscientious Sexual Personality

Senator Ted Cruz seems like a conscientious sexual personality to me. He’s able to control his impulses and delay immediate gratification, probably preferring to plan for sex rather than do it spontaneously. I believe he would rather stick to the traditional missionary position most of the time, and be more likely to yell out, “Oh God!” rather than Heidi, his wife’s name. As a predominantly left-brain thinker, Cruz is probably a neat freak in and out of bed, so female ejaculation would be out of the question. However, a romantic bubble bath followed by a sensual massage could trigger his vasopressin, long-term commitment hormone, which when released is compatible with being presidential.

Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton — Agreeable Sexual Personality

I suspect Hillary Clinton likes to play both sides of the fence. She is the ultimate diplomat in bed, feeling her sexiest when everyone is having a good time, whether it’s with a man or a woman. Hillary may actually get turned on by watching her husband Bill flirt or be with other women — mystery solved for all those people wondering why she didn’t leave him after Monicagate. It could be tit for tat in the White House next time if Hillary is the boss! Hillary’s right-brain predominance means she’s focused on the needs of others, releasing oxytocin, the bonding chemical. I imagine she has a playful side as a voyeur, and I bet she can talk dirty like a pro, since I’ve heard that one of her secret passions is singing.

Democratic Candidate Bernie Sanders — Open Sexual Personality

Bernie’s unexpected success with the millennial generation can be attributed to more than just his policy for free college tuition — I think he’s got an open sexual personality which means his fantasy life includes lots of activities that coeds crave, like threesomes, forbidden lovers and having sex in public! Studies show that septuagenarians are having more sex than ever with the help of drugs like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. Bernie has plenty of adrenaline pumping through his veins, so he may not need any drugs to enhance his open sexual personality. I see Bernie as a predominantly right brained sexually adventurous candidate for President. Where do you fit in on the Super Tuesday spectrum?

Each personality type is explained in detail with five playful, sexy activities to ignite passion and deepen intimacy.

Dubbed “America’s Leading Sexologist” by no less an authority than Cosmopolitan Magazine, Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Dr. Ava Cadell is a clinical sexologist, AASECT certified sex counselor, and founder of Sexpert.com. She has just released her 10th book, entitled “Idiot’s Guides: Kama Sutra.”

The erotically captivating allure of otherworldly beings has even become prevalent across pop culture, from “True Blood” and “The Shape of Water” to Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” and “monster boyfriend” romantasy literature trending on TikTok.
