Drinking - no sex, Carousing - no sex, Watching porn - no sex, Shooting Fireworks - no sex.....No sex - no men: Italian Women's Plan Backfires

ROME(AP) Some women in Naples said they won't make love if their men shoot off dangerous fireworks on New Year's Eve. "Se Spari, Niente Sesso" (If you shoot, no sex), as the reported group calls itself, claims to have signed up hundreds of women in the Naples area to combat celebrations that injure or maim hundreds each year.

Carolina Staiano, a mother of two, was quoted in La Stampa daily on Wednesday as saying she was inspired to create the group because her father was partially paralyzed in a fireworks accident.

Setting off fireworks, often homemade or illegally imported, remains popular in Italy and especially in Naples, even though accidents are frequent and sometimes deadly.

Staiano said that "there are other ways to celebrate." And if men don't get the message, women should "send them to sleep on the couch."

When interviewed by La Stampa and told of his wife's comments, Mr. Staiano began to smile and sing a few bars from a song popularized by the American group, the Eagles. "Well I'm already gone.....And then she'll have to eat her lunch all by herself."
