Nevada Governor Gibbons Says He Hasn't Had Sex in 15 Years
Nevada Governor Gibbons Says He Hasn't Had Sex in 15 Years, Especially Not With That

According to a recent deposition given by Republican Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, he has not had sex in 15 years, he didn't sleep with a former Playboy model, and perhaps most surprisingly, he doesn't tell jokes very well.

CBS affiliate KLAS-TV reports that Gibbons was recently deposed regarding allegations of an assault that occurred in 2006. The federal civil suit was brought by Chrissy Mazzeo, a cocktail waitress who says that Gibbons assaulted and groped her in a parking lot after spending hours drinking at a Las Vegas restaurant. The alleged assault never resulted in any criminal charges, but on February 5 of this year, the governor was deposed for four hours by Mazzeo's attorney, Bob Kossack. During the deposition, Gibbons claimed that he hasn't been sexually intimate with any woman since 1995, and that he's "living proof that you can survive without sex for that long

2. I'll bet he hasn't.
He has at least three significant "good friends," who have been well-publicized in the media.

3. Having sex and groping are two different things.
He can still be guilty of the groping.

10. They certainly are.
Even if he were physically unable to have sex, he could still be guilty of groping the woman.

5. If he is on high-dose beta blocker or some other drugs, maybe.
But he had better have the medical documentation from 15 years back. High B/P + a high dose beta can be the equivalent of chemical castration.

17. opiates can have the same effect.
i've been taking methadone for over a decade due to chronic pain...
i haven't been celibate in that time(my wife ISN'T on methadone), but it probably wouldn't matter to me if i was. :shrug:

6. Reminds me of a joke
A crusty old Army Colonel found himself at a gala
event downtown, hosted by a local liberal arts college.
There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic
ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the colonel
for conversation. She said, "Excuse me, sir, but you
seem to be a very serious man. Are you this way all the
time, or is something bothering you?"

"No," the colonel said, "just serious by nature."

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and
said, "it looks like you have seen a lot of action."

The colonel's short reply was, "Yep, a lot of action."

The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation,
said, "You know, you should lighten up a little - relax and
enjoy yourself."

The colonel just stared at her in his serious manner.

Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't
take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had
sex?"

The colonel looked at her and replied, "1955."

She said, "Well there you go; you really need to chill out
and quit taking everything so seriously - I mean, no sex
since 1955, isn't that a little extreme?"

The colonel, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-
fact voice, "Oh, I don't know. It's only 2130 now!"

18. most married couples have much better sex and more of it than singles.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1058/is_6_118/ai_71250700/

What about sex? Many people believe that marriage dampens the sex life, and for some it doubtless does. But most married couples have much better sex and more of it than singles. According to a University of Chicago National Sex Survey, 43 percent of married men reported having sex at least twice a week, while only 1.26 percent of single men not cohabiting had sex that often. Single men were 20 times more likely to be celibate than married men. Familiarity does not dampen sexual ardor; indeed, Waite and Gallagher argue that marriage facilitates sexual activity. Sex is easier for married couples. Any single "act of sex costs them less in time, money and psychic energy. For the married, sex is more likely to happen because it is so easy to arrange and so compatible with the rest of their day to day life."
