Is this another way of punishing men who don’t like to work? In the Oyam district in northern Uganda, women are using s*x as a way to increase agricultural production. How? By boycotting it!
According to Ms. Hellen Odur, the chairperson of the women’s farmer group, lazy men would be denied s*x so that they would be forced to assist women on the farm.
Her sentiments were shared by the district’s LC5 chairman, Mr. Nelson Adea Akar, who challenged women to stop offering s*x to ‘lazy husbands,’ who only waste their time and energy-consuming alcohol.
“Somewhere in Apac District, women tried this trick and it worked so well. If your husbands are lazy and are not helping you with garden work, go and dig alone, but at night when they ask for s*x don’t give them.
It will not even take one week before they start going together with you to the garden and even working harder to please you so that they can benefit from s*x at night,” Mr. Adea, reported to the Daily Monitor.
Akar made these comments during the commissioning of a multi-million modern milling machine, which was donated by Uganda’s Ministry of Agriculture to the women’s farmer group in Abok Sub-county.
Being the stronger s*x, men’s contribution to the farm work would go a long way towards providing food security for the households. The lack of their participation often leads to less-than-ideal harvest from the fields.
So the women in Oyam have collectively made a resolution to deny the men s*x until they join them in the farms and make a positive contribution.
The women believe that denying man s*x, works better than denying them food. Denying them food often leads to domestic violence as often the men would resort to getting physically abusive with their wives.
