The word ‘sex’ is enough to make some people feel embarrassed, it could be said that this is why a lot of people shy away from sex conversation.
The truth is, talking about sex doesn’t make you ‘spoilt;’ rather it makes you informed, educated and aware of the act of sexual fantasies.
Expert said talking about sex, whether it’s with your partner or with a group of friends, is fun and has lots of positive benefits.

“I’m very aware of how specifically the ‘black society’ haven’t made this entire process and conversation easier. You either grew up with parents who shy away from talking about this or thinks it is uncomfortable and immoral to discuss this. So, children grow up to be the same adults they resent and the circle continues.
“I even know of the popular outlandish tales some very conservative parents have told their kids to maybe scare them away from having or talking about sex. Something like, ‘If a man touches you, you will get pregnant.’ Is it that pregnancy is a contagious virus or it just jumps at you without will?
She said not being able to talk about anything one wants is demonic and should not be encouraged adding that, “ push past this stereotype and become comfortable to talk about sex like you talk about the increase in petrol price”

She said, “I think mostly because we are taught from early childhood to think of it as a sin and run away from it. So we naturally tend to do so even as an adult.
“I mean we try to avoid the topic even in our relationship, like some people don’t like being told how or what to do to pleasure their partner, just because of ego and pride. Truthfully I sometimes feel embarrassed when having sex discussion, just the fear or the way it’s being handled in the African setting. But it is easier to browse about it because of the fear of being judged or looked at in a certain way.
She added, “So many couples out there don’t talk about their sex life with their partner for so many reasons. Some are just too timid or local and are just accustomed to the Christian style of sexual pleasure and any other style is barbaric. Some are just egoistic and wouldn’t want to take lesson from their partner, I mean the reasons are many.”
