It’s been said that sex is a weapon. For some, lack of sex could be torture. That’s why this month’s hero is suing a group of women for his not having sex for a rock-solid week.

James Kimondo filed suit against the leaders of the G10, a coalition of women’s groups that called for a seven-day national booty boycott to persuade Kenya’s men to put an end to the political divisions that threaten to destroy the Grand Coalition Government of President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Ralia Odinga. In other words, they tried to get a bunch of egocentric men to love one another by withholding love.

Well, Mr. Kimondo wasn’t feeling the love after getting no love. “The women called for the sex boycott, my wife has denied me my conjugal rights. This has caused me anxiety ad sleepless nights,” Kimondo said.

“I have been suffering mental anguish, stress, backaches, lack of concentration,” he said outside the Nairobi High Court, where he filed his suit. Kimondo is seeking undisclosed “general damages” from the organizers of the sex boycott.

The leaders of the G10 argued that Kenya’s male leaders should not have time for matters of the flesh when the country is ensnared in economic and political turmoil. The effort, which was endorsed by the Prime Minister’s wife, Ida Odinga, reportedly included paying prostitutes to take time off from providing services.

We’re not sure how sex works in Kenya, but men in other countries are usually less agreeable when they don’t get it. If Kenyan men actually get along better after not getting any ’tang for a week, then Kenyan women must be doing something wrong in bed.

If these women really want the men to stop quarreling, they should have even more sex with them. It’s hard for a guy to fight when he’s enjoying post-coital slumber.

Conversely, a week of sexual frustration could likely give a man an itchy trigger finger. Plus, his gun would have an extremely sensitive hair-trigger.
