Can they handle it?

After the women go ahead with Lysistrata's plan,
will they really be able to do it?

Will the men?

The women plan to be as seductive as possible to lure the men but vow to abstain, leaving them hanging.

Even if they make them go against their will, they will make it as unpleasant as possible to keep their oaths. . .

I don't think this will ever work. In this book or reality,
it's just too unreasonable and I doubt everyone will go ahead with it.

Oath or no oath.

Plus, the women were already hesistant with this plan, who knows how long they'll be able to take it. AND, the main reason they chose to do this plan is because they loved their husbands and wanted them to be safe. So abstaining from sex would in turn hurt their husbands, so wouldn't that be considered contradictory?

I don't know, but I think it's kinda funny.
