In this short video, Lana Reid asks the question to women: Are you negotiating or blackmailing your man? She defines negotiating as trying to create an atmosphere of a win-win for all involved whereas blackmail essentially tells the other person, “It’s my way or no way.” She cites a number of examples of what blackmail can look like (which can involved using sexual energy) as well as examples of what negotiating looks like. In the end, she gives a specific situation of how people can negotiate a specific problematic situation (family) and one way to approach this.
