PM philosophy reminds me of some parenting advice that I once read. The author made the point that the reason parents often have trouble with getting their children to behave is that the parent doesn't really care if the child behaves. If little Johnny is tearing up your magazines and you are just sitting on the couch yelling at him, little Johnny learns that if he can put up with a bit of yelling he can rip to his hearts content. Compare this to when little Johnny has a raging ear infection and needs to take his antibiotic. Any decent parent is going to get that antibiotic down the kid's throat no matter what, because it is too IMPORTANT of a matter to not take a tough stand with the child. If sex is important enough, you will do what you must to get it.
