It's not what it looks like—he's a pollster!

Sweden doesn't have many gay sex scandals, because (gasp!) gay people are regarded as normal—and Swedes aren't absurdly puritanical about sex generally like people in some other countries I could name—but when they do have one, they have a good one.

Savage introduces the players and the scene: "[M]eet an unnamed official of Sweden’s Christian Democrats, 'a party is known for its strong adherence to family values.' Unnamed Official was spotted at a public pool giving a handjob to another man. …Unnamed Official probably could have gotten away with the handjobs, but Unnamed Official wanted something more…"

The two men are then alleged to have moved on to another part of the building, where the politician was spotted giving oral sex to his companion.

…When questioned about the allegations, the politician denied taking part in any sexual activities on the swimming pool premises.

"I understand that it could have looked like that," [he said] to police. Instead he explained that the whole thing was a misunderstanding. He had been leaning over to read his companion’s newspaper when the pool employees arrived on the scene.

I don't know how many times that's happened to me. I just lean over to look at someone's newspaper and then—bam!—I'm sucking his dick.
