Men might get angry, revenge!

EDITOR—I was amazed that the option of putting an embargo on sex was even considered by the good ladies of our neighbour, Kenya. The victims are the men to whom sex is not a luxury but a basic need! To women, sex is not so basic but affection is.

Denying men sex is a manipulative and demeaning thing. Some couples have used this in their marriages to get their way; hitting at the others’ basic need to get theirs.

It is like a boss withholding a salary to punish a subordinate! This may yield the required results but it is a selfish ploy that may bring compliance but never submission or even respect. Women should never resort to such control methods. If you have an issue, talk about it and let us explore the options but never use sex as a punitive tool on your spouse.

It may enrage them and revenge may be the result of your action. You may force them to be unfaithful. Read 1 Corinthians 7:4-5.
