Let’s stop dancing around uncomfortable truths.

Marriage is a partnership, not a power game.
And when one partner deliberately withholds intimacy not for health, safety, trauma, or mutual agreement, but as leverage that’s not “setting boundaries.”

That’s control.

We rightly call it Financial Abuse when one partner withholds money to dominate or punish.
The same logic applies when emotional or physical connection is weaponized to manipulate behavior.

This isn’t about entitlement.
It’s about mutual responsibility.

Marriage operates on shared access, shared duty, and shared care. When one partner unilaterally shuts down a core pillar of the relationship without justification, the system breaks. Trust erodes. Resentment compounds. Stability collapses.

Let’s be clear about these:

Consent is non-negotiable.
Health and safety come first.
No one owes performance.

But patterned deprivation used as punishment is not consent culture, it’s coercion.

Healthy marriages don’t run on ultimatums. They run on communication, empathy, compromise, and alignment.

If intimacy disappears, the question isn’t “Who’s wrong?” It’s “What’s broken and are both parties willing to fix it?”

Because marriage isn’t sustained by silence, avoidance, or moral grandstanding. It’s sustained by adult conversations and shared accountability.

Power plays destroy partnerships.
Honesty repairs them.

Choose maturity. Choose repair. Choose partnership.

I can't really understand why you'd want to mount me when I'm not pleased with you.

If you loved and respected me as you should, I'd want to mount you myself. But I guess you don't love nor respect me and just want to satisfy your urge despite my displeasure with you.

My advice? Use your hands!

so the only reason why you'd want your husband to mount you, is when you're please with him? And if he refuse to do what he is suppose to do, as a man, because he is not please with you, what will be your response?

If you loved and respected me as you should, I'd want to mount you myself. But I guess you don't love nor respect me and just want to satisfy your urge despite my displeasure with you.

respect and love in whatever form is mutually exclusive and it's not only mutually exclusive to the woman.

women don't have standards. They set it for men they don't like

I totally agree with the headline and it goes both ways, man and woman. Although this post reeks of AI slop, you are not ready for marriage if you withhold sex from your spouse 'just because'. This is why the people of the old age used to settle matters in the bedroom. Even if they are fighting, it's in the bedroom the issue will be resolved. But today, na plenty protestants de

How sir? Do you mind sharing more information on this?

Depends on WHY.
Intimacy is NOT by force

Tell your girlfriend about polygamy and watch her flare-up and restless. I no get joy oOoOO

Under what law ? Stop misleading people

None is even interesting anymore both marriage and intimacy

You'd be surprised that if that man goes to sleep with another woman or she discovers that the man she looks down on is attractive to other women, the standards will go to Kafanchan immediately. Some women behave like babies who want you to lick the tears off their face after telling them sorry.

So if I wan knack my woman now I go fes take excuse from her abi if she's not happy with me, make Una dey play, after I don pay everything, settle mama settle papa with all the owambe, what a joke of a century

You can't give what you don't have

A man without money can't be accused of withholding money

Likewise a prick that refuse to rise cant be accused of withholding sex

if u are not pleased why stay?
some of u d reason with una opueh i swear

Withholding intimacy unto say na gold you carry for there? Any wife who does this is an unserious person.
I will keep saying this. Side chicks are the greatest contributors to the economic health of Nigeria. Side chicks are the reason why a great majority of marriages last long.

For crying out loud, all the men in the bible God loved had side chicks. Jacob carried OS. God told Hosea to go and get down with OS (Hosea 1:2). Abraham was given a loot. David had multiple women. Abi na Solomon own I go talk? Dude had more p--sy lying around than days in a year and yet him and God were leveling up. So WTF?

The same God that gave Moses the commandment against adultery ordered his prophet to go f--ck a prosti**te.

If she close leg, dem plenty outside. Go run your thing. No time for rubbish.

This is a very nice and thoughtful article that clearly shows the effort put into the writing. The ideas are well explained, easy to follow, and relevant to the topic. The article does a good job of educating the reader while keeping the content interesting. It is both informative and enjoyable to read.

Women sef.
Untop toto una go still dey stingy put, dem go still marry una put for house, una go still tight legs.
Dem go still go outside to look for remedy as una no gree deliver for house, una go still enter twitter dey twith #menarescum , #cancelnednwoko .

Lol...for puna when full everywhere then want dey withhold again from married man? Married men are suffering sha.

Applies both ways..sefini

Intimacy is best enjoyed when both partners are highly desperate for it. Thank me later.

That women nature for you, women tend to lose interest sexually quickly in marriage most especially after child birth. Weigh your options before getting married

.Interesting assertion! 🥱🥱

If that is the case, then the OP's argument is trash— it was already that, but you drove the final nail in the coffin of his argument —since a woman is only meant to put out if she likes the man. Therefore, it is up to the man to ensure the woman he marries likes him; otherwise, he gets none. 🥱🥱

Abi, o! Just imagine the nonsense argument.

Father4all:

This is obviously my post of the year.

You just said the raw truth.

Women will never accept they also abuse their husbands. Whether physical or sex abuse, abuse is abuse and it destroys marriage. Most women weaponise sex to control, dictate to or manipulate their husbands. This is witchcraft. There is no abuse that is greater than this. Once I sense manipulation in any form, the marriage is gone

Mariangeles come o, a word is enough for the wise. 😒

Nazgul:

Actually they do. If they don't, they won't set it at all, whether they like the man or not.

It is more of the case of making it very difficult for the man they don't like, that's why they set standard for them.

I just knew you would be here. You never disappoint.

una many wen no get problem for this country sha

Sometimes I wonder how people enjoy sex without the full consent and participation of their partners. Before making love to your wives, guys, learn how to put her in the mood first. This may require prepping her psychologically by being more romantic prior and during the period
