Sex should be an expression of mutual love and respect, not a means of getting what you want. If you feel like your partner is using sex as a weapon, it’s important to talk about it and find a way to work through the issue together.

...when you are in private, but if you are going to tease a guy a lot, you want to make sure that you are following through with it. After all, you don't want to be seen as a tease and that's all you are. If you are teasing a guy to the point of almost having an orgasm and not giving him that release, that is one of the signs you are using sex as a weapon. Don't do that ladies! Teasing can be fun, but it should enhance intimacy, not create frustration. Always ensure that both parties feel satisfied and respected in the encounter.

5. Too Many Sexual Comments

This goes right along with being overly sexy in public. If you are constantly making sexual comments and again, not having any follow through or not even attempting to fulfill any of the promises you are making to your guy through these comments, that is definitely one of the signs you are using sex as a weapon.

6. Denying Sex out of Spite

Oh, this one is one that so many women do. Just because the guy said something you didn't like or didn't take your side on something that he believes in doesn't mean you have to withhold sex. Why not take it out first? Ask him why he didn't take your side? That way, you can see if you can work it out instead of you just denying him sex out of spite.

***

Communication is key in any relationship, and when it's not happening, it's easy for frustration to fester into something more hurtful. As tempting as it might be to use denial as a form of punishment, it only creates a deeper rift between you and your partner. Instead, try to express your feelings and discontent in a constructive manner. After all, intimacy should be an act of love and connection, not another battleground for disagreements and power struggles. Open dialogue could not only resolve the current issue but strengthen your bond for future challenges.

7. Being Passive Aggressive

Finally ladies, did you know that we are actually the queens of being passive aggressive when we are mad or upset? This is actually one of the greatest signs you are using sex as a weapon – you are being passive aggressive about it. You don't want to give your guy sex until he does exactly what you want. That's not the way to do it!

These are just some of the signs you are using sex as a weapon. Ladies, we don't want to do that. We love our men and even though we get mad, you don't want to deny him sex just because you can. We hold a lot of the power remember. So ladies, what other signs you are using sex as a weapon have you seen or done in the past?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

This makes it hard to get the distance to think through whether or not it's necessary to leave the relationship.

Say a woman should not withhold sex because she not getting what she wants in a relationship is a very clear black and white way of saying a woman cannot say no, or have sexual boundaries in a relationship.

Having sex when angry or hurt to avoid addressing problems in the relationship is actually very unhealthy.

My wife has been doing all of the above for nearly our entire marriage. She is terrible about holding grudges, and her first instinct whenever she feels confronted, however gently, is to go on the attack. Believe me, she get's extremely passive-aggressive and will get aggressive later and start gaslighting. It always comes down to something I did, or didn't do. Sometimes, I've even been spited over something she dreamed I did. Leaving is not an option, and to be honest, having an affair won't help either, besides, with all that's been going on, I feel as sexy as a flaming bag of dog poo. She also gets very territorial in public, but once we're alone, that changes quite a bit. Yes, I've tried doing chores, and to take the load off of her. I work full time and she is stay at home and has been for 3 decades. Yes, I've tried seducing, but that usually backfires, and results in her rolling her eyes and looking like she'd rather be having a root canal. I can't ever win, and I'm tired. Tired of breaking my back to get her to actually show some kind of real desire like she used to. Maybe I'm such a terrible person that has ruined everything. If only she'd open up without having some kind of tantrum and pouting for days, then I ultimately end up paying for it later. Whew, Ok, that helped getting it out of my system. I have no one to talk to.

Desire, such as after the birth of a baby.

This actually confirms my suspicion that sex as a weapon isn't something that actually happens.

This is stupid. If you are mad, you don't feel the turn on or intimacy, why in the world would you violate your body and mind by having sex with someone who hurt you and haven't cared to make you feel better?

PS Men like to be desired and teased and chased and wanted to not just women. Teasing, flirting, and public displays of affection are actually standard advice for maintaining a desire in a marriage, especially at times when a woman may not have much
