This is a few days old now, but I thought I’d comment.
When I was young I was incredibly naive about a woman’s sexual power. So my first sex strike, in my mid-20s, started off somewhat unwittingly.
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was a teenager (and turned vegan a few years ago) and until that point had always dated fellow veggies. But then I met a meat-eating man and was completely smitten.
Though I really liked him I just couldn’t square his diet with my personal values, and found it almost impossible to be intimate with someone who smelt of meat.
So — having slept with him once to prove just how good we were together — I told him that if he wanted to forge something serious with me, including further sexual relations, he’d have to give up meat.
Though I hoped he would change his ways, I wasn’t expecting him to. So I was shocked when he caved in after a fortnight, and became a vegetarian. Suddenly, I realised how much sexual power I wielded. We went on to date for five years.
If a man behaved like this, he would be rightly castigated. This is clearly coercive behaviour. I’m mildly surprised the boyfriend caved. I’d have walked. I dislike blackmail at the best of times and starting out in a relationship where blackmail rears its head at such an early stage is screaming at you to run and don’t stop running.
I don’t have a problem with this or see it as manipulative.
Yes, it is. It is the very epitome of manipulative behaviour. As she says, this is about power. She is clearly prepared to abuse that power to get what she wants. It says much about her and none of it good. Not least her willingness to blackmail someone into changing to suit her preferences. Nasty, manipulative and abusive. Yet, oddly, because it’s only a “sex strike” the Mail gives her and the other manipulative, coercive blackmailers in the article a free pass.
So much for this mythical male privilege.
‘Meat’, the new fragrance by Calvin Klein
Yeah, I noticed that baloney.
Hope he won his bet
Does this clown not realize that this ‘power’ has been around since the dawn of time? And been frequently used for all sorts of things. This is where females have always had the upper hand. She’s only just discovered it? What a bozo!
As for him? words fail me.
Well, quite. And was proud to tell the world.
A man that knows what he’s doing has a lot of power over a vulnerable woman.
Anyone – of either gender (or even one of the myriad of artificial and imaginary “self-identifications” – who knows what they’re doing can have a lot of power over another person who is vulnerable: one takes it that you have a PhD in “Stating the bleeding obvious”.
The issue of this partnership is truly fecked.
A materialistic, blackmailing mum and a father who is in “finance”
And that is before we get on to Vegan….
They’re psychos it seems.
Having made the conquest, I’d want to move on anyway so it wouldn’t matter to me. Women constantly search for ‘Mr Right’ and then having found him the first thing they want to do is change him. I’m not one for commitment anyway since I like my freedom.
She didn’t say whether she resumed sleeping with him, or whether she just had sex with him sparingly and slept with other people most of the time.
Controlling behaviour like that is a no no.
Personally I would have fucked her sister just to make a point.
The answer to that is S&M: she Sleeps while you Masturbate
So, she couldn’t find a real man, so she coaxed one into bed and then cucked him? I have a feeling that her relationship is based on extremely unstable foundations.
She wanted one to control. She’s a controller.
“She’s a controller.”
Aren’t they all?
Unfortunately, this does appear to be mostly true.
No. Pick the right ones and you can control them. Controllers are controllers.
