"conservatives have such repressed, bad sex lives they want everybody else to also LOL"
The opposite, actually, they only like to think they do.
They're beyond freaky, just give em a 12oz of Bud and that's all the excuse they need.
It's strange because you'd think a place like NYC would be a den of depravity with 8 million people crammed together, but the thing is, that just makes them - well, women, anyways - more picky and more likely to be single.
Even the hoochie mamas in the ghetto, while loose-ish, are rather selective. That's why all of them on the same block share the same baby daddy, because he's the hottest stud around.
Rock stars back in the 70s touring America said this, that Southern and Midwestern women were the horniest, and an informal poll among them had Utah topping the list of the wildest!
"and then they claim they are against government mandates :)"
As if! From teaching evolution in school to Harry Potter in the library, to that evil Rock and Roll music on the MTV, to all that sexual stuff that's sooooooooo bad (unless it's with their own father), they're constipated about everything - on the surface.
Remember, these are the former segregationists who didn't want people sharing water fountains or sections of a bus or diner because of skin tone.
As for mandates, they've been calling for people with AIDS to be quarantined - which basically would amount to prison for life. In fact, some politician from Florida or someplace was calling for it just before this pandemic started. She stopped saying it now, of course.
