Take the power back

There is a school of thought going around certain Canadian sections of the History department which suggests that men should deny women sex. The theory being that if we, as men, complain of not being in the mood, or having a headache or what-have-you, the woman in question will be confused and disoriented and ultimately want it more. This would shift the power back to men.

Given my lengthy stint of enforced celibacy I feel that I'm in a position to comment on this issue.

No.

Firstly, who would enforce a period of celibacy upon themselves in order to prove a point? It could go disastrously wrong and the girl could call your bluff. Or worse, the girl-girl network could kick into action, denying thousands of men the potential for action. I've seen Legally Blonde 2 and was scared by their stylishly efficient efficiency.

Secondly, she could dump you for a man who wanted to have sex (pick one, any one).

Or she might decide that she preferred women and you would then be known as the bloke who scared her off blokes. I wouldn't want to be that bloke.

And finally, it could trigger the Apocalypse.

To conclude, don't be silly. There is enough pain and suffering in the lives of man without forcing more upon yourself. That's why we have women. And Trevor Mallard.
