JR of SilkenVoice echos Bitchy Jones and other independently sexual women who look at the world in one more Onion-style ‘Cosmopolitan’ Institute Completes Decades-Long Study On How To Please Your Man** way to please one’s male partner. (See, especially, the exchange in the last few seconds of that video.)

Recently I overheard a conversation between two women with whom I am acquainted, a conversation that ended with: “....and he forgot to take out the garbage two weeks in a row! So that’s it. No sex for a week.” I shook my head. I said. “Oh, I’d handle that very differently.” She said “Oh?” I said “Yes,” and then waited. She took the bait. She said, “What would Kay do?” I grinned and said, “I’d tell him we were going to have sex morning and night every day for two weeks.” “That’s not a punishment!” she exclaimed. “Really?” I said and arched an eyebrow. “I didn’t say he could cum.” That shocked her speechless. Hee hee. She said it here.

Yup. Even if it was a good idea to sexualize punishment why on earth pick the method that most thoroughly cements every conventional gender stereotype in the book? And definitely if one was going to use sex for punishment why punish one’s self as well as one’s partner?
