It seems like every year, there's a new scandal involving the intimate escapades of a politician.

While that question remains one for the ages, what's known is the details of their indiscretions. Below are 7 of the steamiest sexual intrigues of the past decade.

Eric Massa has a big job representing the state with the most heavily populated city in the nation. It's no wonder he had to grope and tickle his staffers to get a little relief. Of course, his admission to tickling his male staffers into submission was perhaps a bit more than his career could stand.
