It doesn’t sound very realistic to me. Women like sex, and women need sex in much the same way as men. More importantly, women invest time, commitment and as you said it, labors of love on relationships as well as men. Speaking as a man who’s been married for 20 years, if you both aren’t investing in the marriage, it won’t work.

The problem with theories like yours, and there are plenty from Lykiss to Hefner, is that they’re predicated on the idea that sex is a favor that women do for men.

Listening to the bulk of women under 35 (and I meet a lot of them lately) ... that's how most of them think.

Exactly. I learned at a young age women like sex as much as men and in many cases more. But sexual currency counts on the premise that sex is something women have and men want. I think the worry for many is that removing sex as a currency ...and the exchange of goods and services it entails and is therefor subject to fluctuating value due to supply and demand will cause a collapse of culture but it really was a bad idea from the start ...as it was counting on keeping a lie going. And many are getting angry at the thought of that form of exchange going the way of the Dodo for purely practical reasons. Many women have gone through life acquiring wealth status and property with nothing more than sexual prowess (my last girlfriend was one) and many men like the idea of purchasing sex and companionship with only money.
