According to a UK magazine called Good Housekeeping.

In a survey, it was discovered that 40% of UK women withhold sex from their boyfriends or husbands as a form of punishment or to deny them sex when they are angry with their partner.

For today’s article, I will discuss the issue, and I would be interested in the reader’s feedback and where you stand on this issue.

I will also be interested in it.

Is it right for a woman to withhold sex from their partner as a means of manipulation and control?

Woman Says no Sex

If you are withholding something from another person, then by that very definition, it is a form of punishment to withhold another person’s pleasure, and that is what sexuality is.

It’s a form of experiencing pleasure with another human being.

The reasons why women do this are many, and it could be they have seen their mothers or friends who are women use this tactic as a way to manipulate the man within their relationship because women are the gatekeepers of sexuality and sexual activity.

Also, as people get older, it gets even more challenging to get into a relationship due to the man or the woman having their past relationship baggage and being set in their ways.
