I am never having...!

Here's a line from Friends:
I am never having sex with you again!
(Sorry for the terms, but that's what the character said)
Shouldn't it be will? Isn't there a rule for will that says it is used for promises, refusals and threats?
And isn't present progressive/continuous only used for arrangements?
