  • #SexStrike and withholding sex - should we do it?

    You've probably heard of a hunger strike, but have you ever heard of a sex strike?

    The idea's had some pretty mixed reactions, but it got us thinking about withholding sex — does it work? Is it a good idea? Is it abuse?

    Lecturer in Criminology Dr Bianca Fileborn and psychologist Mai Dao join Nat to get to the bottom of all those hairy questions.
