Women use sex as a bargaining tool? Gee! What a surprise! Somehow we need a survey to tell us about something that's been going on for centuries. It makes me chuckle!

Then I found out why the survey was done; women in African nations use this bargaining chip for everything for forcing their husbands to vote for who or what issues they want them to, keeping a man married (I don't get that one) and even in making household decisions.

One man in Nigeria was granted a divorce after he told the court his wife constantly withheld sex as bargaining moves. The region of Togo all the women withheld sex to get their President to agree to reforms in the treatment of women. It lasted for a week and worked.

So, internationally sex is a tool, but what about in America? Not so much! Adult toy company Adam & Eve did a survey to find out and a shocking 25% used sex as a bargaining chip. You men are lucky. I thought it would be a much higher number. Apparently, women like sex too much to give it up (unless it's for a new cell phone).

Men, be thankful women in America haven't caught on to this international gem of a tool!
