QuoteA 76-year-old Labour MP says he and his parliamentary colleagues have an inescapable "sexual magnetism".
Paul Flynn told the Daily Telegraph that for "inexplicable" reasons even the most "superficial, unattractive, mis-shapen" MPs seemed irresistible.
He said the job "does present serious problems of going astray".
Mr Flynn has updated his book, How to be a Backbencher, with advice for younger recruits on how to cope with life at Westminster.
The chapter, "How to defuse sexual magnetism", offers some tongue-in-cheek suggestions, including taking regular cold baths.
It also suggests going to bed "thinking of the immediacy of death" and recognising the "transitory nature" of sexual relations, compared with the long-term satisfaction gleaned from serving one's constituents.
Twitter tips
But the Newport West MP, who has been married to his second wife for 26 years, admits it will always be difficult for MPs to "keep longstanding relationships going".
"For reasons that are inexplicable, MPs - even the most superficial, unattractive, mis-shapen ones - are attractive to the other sex," he said.
"It does present serious problems of going astray. There is a magnetism to this."
Mr Flynn's book - an update of the 1997 original - also includes advice for MPs on how to use Twitter.
All mocking aside, I would have sex with Louise Mensch (http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/About/General/2011/7/21/1311256538594/louise-mensch-007.jpg), if only to give her hands something do other than inflict atriocus "chick-lit" novels on the nation.
what percentage of advances on the "superficial, unattractive, mis-shapen" MPs would you hazard a guess are due to the genuine sexually attractive properties of power over women vs. those that are deliberate acts committed by intelligence communities in order to influence or generate blackmail?

Wait, what? Cain probably understood that but can you break it down a bit more for those of us who are alcohol/sleep addled? :?

Oh hell yeah.
Quote"According to fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil, CIA-directed sexual blackmailing operations were intensive in Washington at about the time of the Watergate scandal. One of those operations, Terpil claims, was run by his former partner, Ed Wilson. Wilson's base of operations for arranging trysts for the politically powerful was, Terpil says, Korean agent Ton Sun Park's George Town Club. In a letter to the author, Terpil explained that 'Historically, one of Wilson's Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary... Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasies in the flesh... A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras... The technicians in charge of filming. . .[were] TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]... The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office."
As for the UK, because of our slightly different political structure, you would only really need to compromise a few key individuals - Chief Whips, the Speaker of the House, party chiefs and so on. If MI5 or similar were doing it for blackmail, anyway. Foregn agencies tended to prefer to use ideology and money to appeal to MPs (at one point, 4 Labour MPs were on the Soviet Union's and Warsaw Pact's payroll, with a few more compromised without realization). But since we are all good capitalists now, I would expect the use of sexual blackmail to have increased. I remember one Lib Dem MP's assistant was a rather good looking young lady from Russia...
