Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with "a member of another sex" if elected to the state's House of Representatives, as "from Presidents to janitors all are tempted." Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected "my primary focus will be to honor God."

I must be some kind of super human man as I can spend hours with women without having sex. Is there any way to monetize this outworldly power?

I respect that he's taking the steps necessary to prevent him from raping women.

though perhaps the lack of self control that renders these steps necessary... should be considered disqualifying for elected office.

Yeah, maybe consider therapy instead of a public position.

I'd prefer an investigation into if he's had issues with consent around past co-workers.... I mean, there is a reason he's concerned about it...

Don't you wish that evil upon us therapists! We're mostly women anyway. He simply couldn't.
