It seems like everyone’s talking about how young voters are the most under-represented group when it comes down to doing it. Voting, that is. Thankfully, some patriotic individuals have opted to go for the groin, inspiring young voters everywhere to vote, and suggesting that sexual favors be the reward.

Votergasm.com, the Web site behind this brainstorm, elaborates on an idea- — vote, and “pledge” to have sex with another voter on election night, sort of like a dual reward. They don’t actually offer sexual favors, but the site details how young voters can make the voting experience a little more worthwhile.

The site is funny, sarcastic and witty without being overly sleazy (in my opinion), except the cartoons, which are a little graphic. The live action shots of women and men scantily clad, performing various election-related tasks are kind of teasing but not necessarily pornographic. The whole site is dedicated to inducing young voters to get out there and do it.

The site doesn’t promise anything — it’s not like Michael Moore’s offers of free underwear to voters. It leaves it up to the voters to go out and find someone to have sex with, to claim their reward.

There is also a section on ways to organize a post-election party. Suggestions are also available for making the party sexy, not sleazy and inciting valid and interesting political conversations. Hot.

With everyone from Christina Aguilera to P.Diddy getting in on the voting action, voting has become sexy, cool and fun. I guess even a little trendy, which begs the question of, will our newfound generational patriotism last?

The main goal is to get young voters out there to do it, which is admirable. Now this is the point where my opinion becomes a little nit-picky. One thing I can’t stop thinking about is that in the enthusiasm to encourage people to vote, voting itself could be degraded to a trend, and maybe even made light of.

I’m really glad people will be voting — I guess I can’t help thinking that maybe it sounds cheesy, but people died so we could do it, and I’d hate to see the noble idea trashed.

Another thing I can’t help thinking about is that though young voters are being encouraged to vote, they’re not really being encouraged to educate themselves on the issues. I have a terrible fear of thousands of write-in votes for Gary Coleman or Jessica Simpson that I can’t seem to get over.

I’m probably not giving people enough credit — after all, I consider myself qualified to vote, so I guess the other 25-year-olds in the world can probably handle it. I am in favor of voting, and also in favor of sex, so the two combined should make for a fun party.

My idealistic side hopes that this incentive will help motivate more of the 18-25 set to find out about the issues, vote effectively and not just for the sake of voting. Furthermore, I hope that they will take their elation from participating in the electoral process into other areas, finding fuel for political fires and becoming more involved in issues surrounding the future of American politics. My realistic side says get a life, it’s all about the sex and parties. Whatever the case, it’s good to encourage sex … err, voting at every opportunity.
