Like we do not do that.
Right.
So we work a lot with sort of organizations on the ground, people doing incredible work in different countries.
For me, I will not lie.
It is a constant struggle of having to remember.
And like even with you in Nigeria hosting that space.
I think the constant socialization and shaming, even though people make like jokes when you're young, oh, you know, you're a little heartbreaker and you're a little this and you're a little that, you know, when kids will like hug or be overly intimate, there's always that constant policing, right?
That sex is something that is for a very specific time, a very specific purpose, and that gets drilled into us.
constantly constantly constantly and I think we just continuously grow up with these mixed messages of you know we should all partner up and we should all like you know be little heartbreakers and is that your boyfriend is that your girlfriend but then constantly being told that sex is not something that we talk about and we also don't have the language because think about the first time
like a parent says the word penis or vagina in front of their child, like to this day, my mother, knowing my job, knowing the books that I have written, the work that I've done, cannot stand it when I say vagina.
Like, so when you grow up in that context, you can't talk about something you don't have the tools to talk about, right?
So now, if I had a glass of Merlot, which I really wish I did, I would pour the ancestors a drink, because there are ways in which African societies huddled this sex thing before the sea that shall not be named.
Colonization.
came through.
Within African societies, we had spaces, both social and spiritual, that helped institutionalize healthy sexual practices.
We had sexuality schools that taught social and erotic cues.
We had spaces where teenagers could engage, understand and properly know how to handle sexual urges, and places where adults could handle the stresses and strifes of adulting.
There were African sexual practices that centered women, and in particular, their pleasure.
Yes.
These spaces still exist and they existed in the past where it was like a case of understanding that pleasure was a core part of your relationship as man and wife because heteronormativity is forever.
