Considering this is Africa where Sex is still a touchy – feely subject especially if you come from a household where your parents come from an older generation, there are a couple of things you’ve probably heard about sex that may or may not be true per say.

While other view it through a logical scIentific lens, others choose to see it through superstitious and weird lenses. Some of the stuff said about thinking about sex, having sex by yourself (wink wink!) or just being a sexual being will have you squinting in confusion or agreeing enthusiastically. Here are some wild beliefs that we’ve all heard

1. Menstrual blood makes things toxic

Bish weeeeyah!? We know… This one is just plain stupid. People from a lot of communities and cultures believed that menstrual blood was toxic and women on their periods were not allowed to cook or serve food and attend religious ceremonies. Hey, at least women got to rest from all the donkey work.

2. Women only get pregnant through consensual sex

Wauuu! Did rape culture magically come to an end? Where were we when this happened and what were we doing? Judging by the sheer amounts of pregnancies caused by rape around the country, we would conclude that is that actual BS.

3. Masturbation makes you blind

HAHAHA! Oh wow. This came from the church back in the 90s when the purity movement was doing the actual most. If this were true we would have so many of you out here blind as a bat. If you know, you know.
