Wanainchi,

I beg to state that FIDA’s ‘sex ban’ though well intentioned may, and I say may, potray a wrong impression.

Firstly, sex ideally is not a weapon, though theoretically its been used as one. (remember the biblical samson and delila….. pastor birai correct if am wrong)

so whats my fear- please fox, ladies and gentlemen, There may be a likelyhood of women being considered as sex objects, and believe me it is not trivialising the matter, but if you can ‘buy favours’ once, then surely you can buy it a second time.

secondly, i beg to know what the christians think about it and indeed what our muslim brothers think about it. what about our our traditionalist brothers and is there a chance that those who married traditionally but are deprived off sex (as a result of the request of G 10) may batter their wives, or marry a second?

What does it say about the long fought for equality between men and women and what may happen if a ‘fathers right’ movement in Kenya tells men to boycott sex? I do believe we can use our sexuality positively, for example the famous women’s match in france.

Sex is a gift from God

ODU

Is this request applicable to commercial sex workers as well? point is clear, leader

I would say
Fida women et al, are right in being concerned about the
situation in the country. It is their own “small way” of
provoking men who are the leaders and therefore accountable
to rise to reality. They are obviously wrong in their manner
of bringing this about- more so considering that most of
them are not even married and their manner of portrayal of
women as sex objects – which it can be said is and was an
open secret and “leans” more to the truth side… in as
much as women will protest to the contrary.

One can therefore safely say
that they have their own shoe in the mouth!
At least they have stolen
the headlines.
Cheers.

Whoever advised FIDA was intelligent but, the one who
conveyed the message did it wrongly. If we go by their
directive of wifes denying their husbands sex then, we
expect more wrangles within families. The message should
have been for all kenyans to “FAST” in form of
denying ourselves sex as a Nation. If we did so then God
would inturn hear our cry and am sure he would respond by
taming our leaders in a mighty way(In the bible:He tamed
lions to spare Daniel). Remember its not families that have
political problems its different fanctions within the
political divide

Kimilili,

Whoever gave these FIDA women such an idea should
apologise to women. It has potrayed women as sex objects who
are only good for the bed and nothing else. Does it mean
women have to blackmail men into discussing issues?

Must women use what is between their legs to get men
listening other than what is between their ears?

I find this very insulting to women. For FIDA to
construe womenfolk as men’s sex toys is to say the
least, worrisome. No wonder they always are keen on matters
to do with a man and a women in their bedroom, they pick
such cases like hot cake.

Women must come out and denounce this kind of crap to
which they are subjected, ati abstain from sex?

What if the men call for a one month abstinance???
They should know that “simba akikosa nyama, hata lala
njaa, atakula nyasi….” this is fermentating a crisis
in homes for there are men who will go blind with desire and
homes will break down,maids may be in danger and promisquity
may just go anotch higher.

For and On behalf of all men who are blackmailed. If
this happens, get in touch with me, I shal declare a one
month abstinance in retaliation.

Sungu.

Women of goodwill should not listen to such nonsense.
Does it mean mean cannot leave without sex. Such ideas can
only originate from the sexually starved women looking for
company. What does having sex with my wife or the lack of it
have to do with Mungiki. Women be warned
…………………….. withhold it at your own risk
because there is planty of it out there.

Trust me they did. I think they need to look for a catchy
tag line that will

sell. You bet it will. As for how many women will do that.
I don’t know. I
think instead of asking the whole country to go on sex
strike, they should
have asked the wives of all parliamentarians to do that as
the husbands

directly involved. That way it will make sense.

Is it true that FIDA has asked women to abstain from sex
for a week in
the name of politics? Because if it is, then its too
hilarious!!
