According to Match’s 2016 Singles in America study, people who say they are passionate about politics and issues report to having better sex, regardless of political affiliation. Whether you are a die hard Clinton fan, all for Trump, or feeling the Bern, it doesn’t matter in this case (but here's how Trump versus Clinton supporters are different in bed).
