    Whenever

    Neither partner, male or female, should have the 'power' to 'grant' sex.

    Whenever I see the word "should", I disregard the remainder. "Should" means the women will tell us men what to think and we better follow directions if we are to be in their good graces.

    In REALITY, where the rest of us men live, since women are typically a lot more discerning about men than men are about women, it typically happens that women ARE the ones holding back from becoming sexual with the man.

    These women end up holding out the MOST for the nice, good men, WHICH LEADS to all men, EVEN THE NICE ONES, deciding "fuck this, I'll become an asshole if need be to become a person considered a sexual being to women".

    SO you women DO practically for all intents control sex and you DO create this whole fiasco by indulging the bad men with sex while holding out for the good ones.

    You think you are having your cake and eating it and all you are doing is destroying your daughters' futures.

    I guess that is called JUSTICE in some way.
