Constance Hall is fed up with procreating.
She is done with the ravage each pregnancy wreaks on her body.
Done with the barrage of blood tests, the anal swabs, the constipation, the cracked nipples, the stitches in places no one wants stitches, the abdominal separation. Done with contraceptive pills. Done with abortions.
And, now, the mother of four is resorting to “drastic measures”.
In a Facebook post, the 32-year-old Perth blogger has publicly declared she is going on a “complete sex strike” until her husband had a vasectomy.
Hall – who has become famous for her frank posts about ‘parent sex’ and post-natal depression – has four children: one-year old twins, Rumi and Snow, four-year-old Arlo Love and Billie-Violet, 6.
She said the couple switched to using the “withdrawal method” after having Arlo, but then she became pregnant with twins.
“I know you’re scared to say goodbye to the little soldiers, your little warriors, your faithful army of conquerors, slaying, penetrating every egg in their path. They have served you well, babe. You should be really proud. But, really, it’s time,” she told her husband in the post, has attracted more than 30,000 likes in five hours and been shared 1500 times.
Watch as Jamila Rizvi explains the five things no one tells you about pregnancy (post continues after video):
“I am ignoring your penis until you get the snip. Not permitting it to brush past my leg in the hallway and when you talk about it I am going to start humming. Your penis is void in this relationship…”
“Because my body is done. It’s done reproducing and it’s done birth controlling. Your turn. Love, wifey.”
It certainly sounds like a surefire way to get some action on the vasectomy front…

She's abusive, she's using a blackmail in order to force her husband to have a surgery.
The husband shouldn't give up to his bodily autonomy.
That's coercion bordering domestic violence.
He dont have to do anything, he has a choice
Like all choices it has a consequence
Lets' try the reverse: "honey, you have to tie your tubes because I don't want more kids. Until you'll have that surgery, do not expect sex from me anymore".
Sounds controlling and abusive to you?
In some countries - UK in example - the husband behaving so would be persecuted for psychological violence and coercion.
She can try and force him to a vasectomy, that's her right. He can't try and force her to have an abortion, that's her right.
She not forcing him
