Colombian women on sex strike until road is paved

BOGOTA (BNO NEWS) -- Almost 300 hundred women in southwest Colombia vowed to withhold sex from their husbands until the government paves the connecting road into their village, Colombia Reports said on Friday.

Dubbed the "strike of crossed legs," the women in the town of Barbacoas near the Pacific coast are trying to persuade their husbands to pressure local authorities to properly maintain the main road out of their village which stretches some 35 miles (56 kilometers) before reaching the nearest town. Many husbands of the women on strike, however, said that they would prefer that their wives engage in a hunger strike instead.

It currently takes about 12 to 14 hours to reach the nearest hospital. More than a dozen medical patients have died on the road before reaching the hospital.

Colombia has a recent history of sex-strikes. In 1997, Colombia's military chief Manuel Bonnet called for a sex-strike among the wives of paramilitaries, guerillas, and drug lords to promote peace. In 2006, wives and girlfriends of gang members also went on a sex strike in central Colombia after their city suffered a period of violence that left 480 people dead.

As long as it's just a hunger strike and not a cooking strike as well.

ANY excuse not to have sex that will work is on the table for a woman.

This excuse beats them all!

Useless without pics.

If they’re hot, it’d motivate me, that’s for sure. Hell, I’d pave the entire distance myself. In 36 hours.

If they look like Helen Thomas, on the other hand, I’d just say, “I’ll get around to it. Eventually. Goin’ out for a beer-see ya later.”

By definition, if a woman is married, she is on a “sex strike”

The theoretical availability of sex after the “I dos” is 100%. The practical availability is around 5%

That sure sounds like a strike to me

...or maybe all the wives belong to a Union or work for the gummint

As long as the husbands hold firm, the women will eventually give out.

You are correct. An upgright and firm posture by the husbands on this issue will convince the wives to ride something else than than the strike

Sex begins in the morning. If you want sex be nice all day. The woman will reflect back to the man what he feeds her. If he’s nice, she’s nice. If he is a jerk, fahgedaboudit

A quote from the man of the house: “I can have sex ANYTIME that you want to”!

my bet is that the road gets paved, and the men notice a very slight and very temporary increase in sexual activity.
