"Those engaging in a sex strike (historically, most often women) collectively abstain from sexual intimacy with their partners to pressure the opposing party – typically men in positions of power or combatants in a conflict – to comply with a desired change."

Both men and women are driven by irrational desires; lust is often based in physical appearance, or some other arbitrary attribute of attractiveness. I once new a girl who liked guys who stank of BO.

Just as it's not rational to tell a woman she shouldn't be attracted to other women, it's irrational to expect anyone to be entirely logical about who they want to fuck. If it were, people who serially get into abusive relationships, wouldn't.

That doesn't really conflict with what they said though. Someone whose desires overrule their values in the first place probably isn't going to be interested in suppressing their desires to push their values.

True enough! I was mainly reacting to the rhetorical opening question.
