Kenya: Men Start 30-Day Sex Strike

Kampala — KENYAN men moved a notch higher yesterday with the announcement that they had started a 30-day sex boycott to protest against abuse of their rights by women.

Maendeleo ya Wanaume (Men's Organisation) Bungoma branch chairperson in Western Kenya, Eric Wambasi, said he had already secured signatures of over 250 members who were due to start the exercise last night.

He said more people are expected to endorse the countrywide boycott.

Wambasi said the move was in protest against the recent action by the G-10 women's movement that forced women to go on a one-week sex boycott owing to the slow pace of reforms by the coalition government and rampant corruption in the country.

Last month, thousands of Kenyan women including Ida Odinga, wife of prime minister Raila Odinga, called for the week-long sex boycott.

I thought Kenyan men only had sex with other men and sheep.

LOL, silly men.
Don't they know the women are quite capable accepting that one sexless month and go on a one year sex boycott? Who knows? they may even stop cooking, cleaning....

Silly men LOL

Either most people aren’t getting your humor or they, unlike me, prefer to let it go without comment.

I am not thusly inclined and must ask - which hand?

;-)

Have a nice day

Michelle won’t be happy about this.
She’s going to be extra bitchy for the next month.

Sounds like everyone's on strike.

I could hold out for 30 days with one hand tied behind my back.

If you've been married any length of time (as I have) 30 days is nothing.

A month from now you'll be able to recognize the results of that exercise by the freakishly bulging biceps on their right arms....

I am betting the women will challenge them to go 90 days without it.

Maybe we can challenge Obama to do this for the next 3 years and 7 months. He’s been screwing us for the last four months. It is time for a break.

More evidence that boycotts don’t work.
