abstiance can end a war?

since when? since before christ apparently. these women come together and decide that abstaining from sex will end this war and i think that's poppycock. in the play it works but in real life this would never happen. one main reason for this not working would be that men fight over seas and so they are already abstaning from sex. in lysistrata the men seem to come home at night or whenever it is and sleep with the women so this would make it harder for them to go without it. there seems to be a very stong bond between the sexualness of the relationship and how the men and women interact with eachother. on the womens side it is a more loving and caring thing and on the mens side it is purely for the sexual satisfaction as you can see from the scene with kinesias and myrrhine, myrrhine wants to go out and see him because she feels bad for him but kinesias is just thinking about how he wants his "condition" fixed and not about her or their child. gosh, he's such a male. jk. he just needed to be like that because it would work well in the play.
