"Crossed legs" strike

Lose the gun, or lose the fun :-)

Story:
Colombia -- They are calling it the "crossed legs" strike.

Fretting over crime and violence, girlfriends and wives of gang members in the city of Pereira have called a ban on sex to persuade their menfolk to give up their guns.

After meeting with the mayor's office to discuss a disarmament programme, a group of women decided to deny their partners their conjugal rights and recorded a song for local radio to urge others to follow their example.

"We met the wives and girlfriends of gang members and they were worried some were not handing over their guns, and that is where they came up with the idea of a vigil or a sex strike," said a mayoral spokesman.
