Would Lysistrata idea work now?

Before we did a journal on this, I was thinking about it and thought about it for a while cuz I kept changing my opinion. For example, the war with Iraq and the U.S. could of been ended if all of the women on both sides of the war, did abstinence, it might of worked, but it would of been hard for women then are married to husbands that arn't in the war to do this. And times have change were men can go on without sex, and this isn' fair to the troops that are over in Iraq. Also the Iraqians that are in the war may not care. I don't know, I just thought about this before we actually had a journal about it.

I remember this journal entry. Lol it was cool how almost everyone in the class had something to say. Anyways, there was another idea i had as to why this would and would not work today. The entire idea that "sex sells" is all over advertising. They use it for everything, so why not use it as a means to solve a problem in 2 nations? It works for everything else, why not this?

Then as to why it would not work is the amount of participation. It matters the who and the amount of people that participate. And the idea of "men lasting longer without sex" also plays a key role.
