Sex Boycotts

Life imitated art this week in Africa as some Kenyan women called a play from the playbook of classical Greece. The men of Kenya continue to battle political opponents without doing any good for the people. Now those men don’t get to have sex for a while until they think about what they’ve done and change.

One man, James Kimondo is suing the leaders of G10, the coalition of women’s groups that has called for this national sex boycott. Kimondo is claiming anxiety and sleepless night since his wife is denying his “conjugal rights.” Ha! For the love of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Where to begin?

Giving No For An Answer

Leaders who have sparred for decades have put aside their differences to complain to each other about their wives.

In other news, Kenya’s prostitution industry is getting a ton of action this week.

Miss California Carrie Prejean could not be reached for comment, Hugh Heffner is appalled, and Perez Hilton doesn’t understand what the big deal is.

Let’s skip to Aristophanes, the world’s first comedic playwright. His play Lysistrata tells a similar tale of a woman tired of death and tragedy during the era of the Peloponnesian War in ancient Greece. Lysistrata convinces some other gals to hold out in the bedroom until the boys shape up. Unlike anti-war movies of today, Aristophanes actually experienced some success at the box office. Apparently sex strikes are funny as long as they’re fictional.
