sex boycott
Withholding physical intimacy
A sex boycott is a coordinated refusal to have sex as a form of protest or leverage, typically by women against men to achieve political or social goals.
The tactic draws on the ancient Greek comedy *Lysistrata*, where women withhold sex to end a war.
Modern sex boycotts have been organized in various countries to pressure governments or communities: Kenyan women called a sex boycott to end political violence.
