In the advice column, "Annie's Mailbox", there was a letter today from a man complaining about women who expect men to earn sex. His girlfriend apparently didn't think he was doing enough to deserve her sexual favors. If sex is this man's reward for jumping through hoops and performing to meet his girlfriend's expectations, he certainly has a legitimate complaint.
Women using sex as leverage to get what they want is not a new story. Of course, there are two sides to this story. Maybe this man isn't carrying his share of responsibility around the house. Maybe he isn't communicative or affectionate and only approaches his girlfriend when he wants sex. If that's the case, he can hardly expect his partner to be anxious for intimacy.
Sex is an integral part of a relationship and will tend to head south pretty quickly when the relationship is in trouble. However, sex that is bestowed or withheld based simply on a partner's performance is a form of barter that has no place in a couple's intimate life.
