Javier Milei throws a 'tantric bomb' into Argentina's presidential election
Washington Examiner ^ | August 19, 2023 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 08/19/2023 7:58:50 AM PDT by ConservativeInPA

Argentina's outsider presidential aspirant, Javier Milei, is a rare breed — a hirsute 52-year-old libertarian economist with a hatred of all things authoritarian, including China’s ruling Communist Party, and a penchant for tantric sex.

And he just placed first in his country’s presidential primary contest.

“One of the biggest thieves in the history of humankind is the Central Bank,” Milei told the Buenos Aires Times earlier this week. “We should try to get out of the blinders that the statist indoctrination imposed on us.”

It’s a battle cry to warm the hearts of the most committed old supporter of Ron Paul, the former Texas congressman whose libertarian beliefs and online popularity made him an unexpected factor in the 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential primary contests.

Wow. This piece just drips with bias. Hirsute? Yes...he has hair. Penchant for tantric sex? Who's business is that?

I have no desire to read the whole article but I wouldn't be surprised if there is an allusion to him having a penchant for young girls or boys.

Milei, I would describe is Trump on a extreme caffeine binge and just might be the guy to gut half of the countries gov’t services. Whether he can win in the fall election....is a question-mark.

If I were Argentinian, I would vote for him.
Tantric sex? Isn’t that just slow & easy sex?
As others have noted, this is maybe as biased a story as you would see in the Washington comPost.

According to WebMD it ain't "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am".

What Is Tantric Sex?

Maybe they mean "tantrum" and don't really know what tantric is.

Well, he’s definitely not boring!

From Wikipedia...

“Milei has earned the nickname of el Peluca (”The Wig”) due to his eccentric hairstyle.[144][145] He has consistently stated that he does not comb his hair, leading to significant press attention;[146] only Lilia Lemoine, vice president of his party and a cosplayer, is able to style his hair.[147] In May 2022, he stated: “I will not be apologizing for having a penis. I don’t have to feel ashamed of being a man, white, blond with light blue eyes.”[128] Regarding his romantic life, he is not married and has no known partner as of August 2023;[75] he indicated in an October 2017 interview with La Nación that he champions free love.[148] On a local television program in June 2020, he disclosed his involvement in several threesomes and his role as a neotantra instructor, describing himself as a tantric sex instructor,[149] claiming to be “capable of remaining three months without ejaculating”.[150] In August 2023, The Daily Telegraph characterized him as a “rock singer and tantric sex instructor”,[127] while The Guardian referred to him as a “former tantric sex coach”.[9]

While Milei identifies as Catholic,[151] he has been critical of the Catholic Church under Pope Francis, whom on different occasions he called a “Jesuit who promotes communism”, “an unpresentable and disastrous character”, and “representative of the evil one on Earth”.[75] He also reads the Torah daily and has visited the grave of Orthodox rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Milei expressed contemplation about converting to Judaism but said that observing the Jewish Sabbath could pose challenges if he were to become president.[147] Milei revealed that he was previously estranged from his parents and regarded them as dead.[152] During his political campaign, he reconciled with both his father and mother.[153] He always had a close bond with his younger sister, Karina Milei, who managed his election campaign.[35]

Milei is the owner of five English Mastiffs, with Conan serving as the progenitor. He considers Conan his son and has named four of Conan’s six clones, including one named after the original, Milton (in honour of Milton Friedman), Murray (in honour of Murray Rothbard), Robert, and Lucas (both named after Robert Lucas).[154][155] He described them as four-legged children and personally thanked them after his 2023 Argentine primary elections win.[35] During the night of celebration, he also danced rock and roll with his family, choosing the song “Se viene”, one of Argentine rock’s greatest hits that at the end of the 1990s became a challenge to the neoliberal government of Carlos Menem and was a premonition of the Corralito crisis in 2001; the song’s chorus says: “The explosion is coming.”[35] Milei looks to Menem as an example and the band, Bersuit Vergarabat, had forbidden him to use the song. Despite this, the hall of celebrations sang it without fear of contradictions.[35]”
