The Sex Files

In Kenya a man is suing a womens’ activist group for having (successfully, it seems) urged women to boycott sex. The move was in protest to the fragility of the coalition government in the Kenyan parliament. According to the paintiff because his wife deprived him of sex he suffered sleepless nights, anxiety, dizziness and backache. Now, there are many ways to address those complaints – Nyquil for sleepless nights, Cert for dizzines, and stretches for a bad back, but all this is beside the point and merely sidesteps what men have been reluctant to acknowledge: the ever increasing power of the vagina. While women have always known about that organ’s hold over men, they have only now discovered the creative potential for its political uses. As a man I might not be able to fully understand the deep motivations behind the Kenyan womens’ actions. Displeasure with the state of the nation is the most obvious trigger but I’m almost certain that deep down there is a realization on womens’ part that one method of expressing disapproval – cutting off a man’s penis as in the case of John Wayne Bobbit – is losing its efficacy.

Back to the Philippines: sexpot Katrina Halili has filed charges against local lothario Hayden Kho for the proliferation of videos showing them cavorting and having sex. She has even gotten a senator on her side who, in a privilege speech, demanded the revocation of Dr. Kho’s medical license on the ground that he had taken advantage of his patient’s supposed vulnerability and weaknesses. (Scratch head) So what started out as a private romp between two consenting adults has become a public menage a trois with this senator as asungot. Hayden, you should be wishing that you’re in Kenya right now where the most you’ll get is, well, not getting any of it.
