or else

Check out this AP article about how Kenyan women are initiating a sex strike to end violence in their country.

And you thought the "sex strike" threat was reserved for intercepting the TV remote in time for "Gossip Girl."

Maybe the concept is easier to digest when there's brutal African infighting involved. Oh yeah, the fact that Kenyan law allows polygamy probably helps, too.

That said...in cases when you're not trying to make a global civil rights statement...

Is it ever OK to use sex -- or lack thereof -- as a bargaining card in a committed relationship?
