She Withholds Sex from her Husband as Punishment and Gives it as Reward

Posted by Mr. Thoughtful on April 24, 2008

When I wrote my “BJ as Reward” post several days ago I had not seen the following article by Leslie Bennetts on MSNBC.  It’s very much in this same vein, only she uses both the stick and the carrot.  She withholds sex from her husband if she thinks he doesn’t do enough around the house and she gives him sex if she determines he has earned it by doing enough around the house.  If I made this stuff up many of you wouldn’t believe it, but here is the story, straight from the horses  mouth:

Maintaining some semblance of parity in your marriage requires you to deploy the same kinds of nasty tactics you swore you would never stoop to as a parent but nonetheless found yourself using the minute you actually had a kid. Bribery and punishment work; so do yelling and complaining. Threats are also effective, as long as everyone knows you mean business. With husbands, tender blandishments and nooky are particularly useful, as is the withholding of the aforementioned.

As I said in my previous post, this is like treat-training a dog, giving him treats as a reward when he does something you like.

And here is a picture of Leslie Bennetts, whose consent to have sex with her husband is considered the granting of a reward:
