Anthony Weiner’s Mistress, Sydney Leathers, Makes Porno, Advises on How to Seduce Politicians in 10 Points

Anthony Weiner’s latest mistress, Sydney Leathers, has been playing it up, loving all the Monica Lewinsky fervor, even making a porno of herself, and giving advice on how to seduce politicians. She’s been featured on the Howard Stern show and is living it up as a bad girl.

Her advice column that appeared on XOJane.com gave advice on “10 Secrets For Seducing a Politician.” It began with a rant condemning those who would dare judge her for seducing a married father, corrected those so-called feminists who don’t realize that she herself is truly a feminist, spends a lot of time explaining away her behavior as a “science experiment,” and then lists ten ways to play on a politician’s weaknesses to have a thrilling sexual escapade.

That the thing is entirely tasteless goes without saying. But her explanation of some of her tactics sound canny enough.

#1: Indulge his crazy alter-ego, and whatever you do, don’t laugh at him. When in doubt, use a smiley-face and tell him you actually mean it.

It’s hard sometimes, but you have to keep a straight face. Like, Anthony would thank me every time he had an orgasm. I don’t think I ever said “You’re welcome.” Who thanks someone after an orgasm?

She goes on to divulge tidbits about how Weiner loved his ego-stroked, and the many ways she played on that to play him, while somewhat admitting that she structured her days around his messages, and only hinting at how thoroughly mesmerized she was by the politician. While playing herself off as a clever seductress using all the tricks to win the politician (“#2: Be a little coy first. Don’t be so aggressive) there is the implicit sense of loneliness and a sense that the stratagems for flirtation, which include taking naked selfies, aren’t exactly news to anybody, and are easy and obvious points, insofar as you want to be some obscure woman on the side.

By the time she gets to number nine she has lost her clever charm and gone for straight out obscenity.

#9: Tell him how big his weiner is — especially if it’s Weiner.

I mean for Anthony, it is. It’s not even a lie.

You have to let them be the needy one.

The best way to compliment on penis shot: Be really specific. Not just length but girth and everything. Really be specific. Tell him what you want to do with it, whatever.

Any high school girl knows what she puts out as “tips.” But since she wants to justify her behavior as the clever mechanizations of a “real feminist” who knows how to play men, and also since she wants to boost interest in her porno, she ends up defending herself a bit too fervently.
