We're in a time of transition. Technology allows an immense amount of investigative access and media amplification of any person's sexual back history. So every politician can expect this hyper scrutiny. But people do not become politicians--born gamblers on the people's trust--by leading squeaky clean lives. The risk itself spurs them on. Perhaps Oedipus, ancient leaders of Thebes, actually knew he was sleeping with his mother--and hid it all along!.... But the truth will come out. Of the closet or of the past.
The cumulative disgust with politicians will in the future at last lead people to gladly cede the control of their lives and leadership of their communities to machines, robots, programs, asexual cyborgs, what have you. And then we humans will be free to fornicate like canines, happy pets of the machines. Riddle of the sphinx solved!
