>Some women DO use sex to control men.

I did not say that there are no women who use sex to control men. I said that it is not possible to control someone merely by offering them sex. It requires the cooperation of the person who is being offered sex. This is in stark contrast to the kind of power older men often have over younger women.

>And the idea that we can just decide to switch lust on and off is ridiculous.

Who said anything about switching lust off? All you have to do is decline the offer, which is eminently possible.

What about the blackmail potential inherent in offering someone sex?

Edit: I can no longer reply due to the thread length, so here is reply to below post:

To say that someone offered you sex, is to inculcate the idea of a sexual relationship with a person which you would otherwise not be associated with in such a context.

There isn't any blackmail potential in offering someone sex. You can just say "yes, so and so offered me sex".
