This is not really a joke but an old play with some funny parts.
There's an old Greek play: Lysistrata (411 B.C) where all the women go on a sex strike to end war. As Lysistrata and a Seinfeld episode point out sometimes the ladies can't hold out long either. Below are some excerpts. Follow the link for the whole thing. It's interesting that after 2000+ years most books still water down the language for political correctness. Good thing we have the internet.
Lysistrata: ...If we women really want our men to make peace, then we must... abstain.
Myrrhini: Huh? From what? Please explain...
124 Lysistrata: We will go on strike! We shall all abstain from cocks!
(Triumphant )
No more cock! ...
Myrrhini: I can’t do it, Lysistrata. Not me. I... Let the war drag on.
Caloniki: Yea, me too, Lysistrata. Let the war continue...
Lampito: It’s true, damn it. It’s a harsh and difficult thing for a woman to go to sleep, alone. Without a prick, I mean. Yet... yet... yet, we must! We must have peace!
...
Lysistrata: Lampito, and the rest of you, too. All together: Repeat after me: There’s no prick, lover’s or husband’s...
Together: There’s no prick, lover’s or husband’s...
Lysistrata: That will approach me erect...
Together: That will approach me erect...
Lysistrata: Shut in at home, I’ll live prick-less and chaste...
Together: Shut in at home, I’ll live prick-less and chaste...
Lysistrata: And I’ll be dressed seductively and be beautifully made...
220 Together: And I’ll be dressed seductively and be beautifully made...
Lysistrata: So as to set afire my man’s desire...
Together: So as to set afire my man’s desire...
Lysistrata: And let him not fuck me with my consent...
Together: And let him not fuck me with my consent...
Lysistrata: If, however, the prick forces itself upon me...
Together: If, however, the prick forces itself upon me...
Lysistrata: I will not reach orgasm... at the same time as it does...
Together: I will not reach orgasm... at the same time as it does...
Lysistrata: I will not have my slippers raised to the ceiling...
230 Together: I will not have my slippers raised to the ceiling...
Lysistrata: Nor will I, like a whore, take up for him the position of the lioness-on-a-cheese-grater...
Together: Nor will I, like a whore, take up for him the position of the lioness-on-a-cheese-grater...
