A lecturer at the Accra Polytechnic says sex ban cannot be the solution to political stand-off.
Nana Obiri Yeboah told Joy News " i don't think it has solved any problem. It has even worsen it. We cannot use sex bans to solve conflicts. Even from the house hold level there must be peace so if there is sex ban at the household level, the family unit, then you are exacerbating the problem."
His comments is in reaction to a legal suit filed by Kenya's James Kamundo against gender activist leading the crusade for sex bans in Kenya.
The ban is to push the male dominated political leaders, led by President Moi Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga to go for an amicable settlement of election related violence.
Even though the sex ban has not achieved the desired results, Kamundo has been greatly affected.
He told the BBC, he is sexually active and the ban is causing considerable havoc in his life.
"I had a lot of stress. I couldn't concentrate on my work. Normally I have sex with my wife about three times a day. Sometimes I even go home at lunch time to have sex with my wife."
He said he feels sick after being starved of sex and wants redress at the law courts.
Nana Obiri Yeboah told Joy News Evans Mensah, such a ban in Ghana will be "basis for divorce" in the country.
"Your wife can even report you if you don't pacify her sexually," he said.
When Joy News sought the opinions of some Ghanaians, the sexist line was clearly drawn.
The females were ready to slap a ban on sex with their husbands, but the men were ready to seek sex elsewhere if the ban is imposed.
