When you click on the front page of the blog, Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women, you are greeted by headlines as diverse as “I Thought The First Thing I was Going To Do After Lockdown Was Get a Brazilian,” “Sex Drough,” “West African Tales of Sex and Love,” and “How can you tell when a woman orgasms?” The founders of this blog make no excuses that they are trying to demystify and educate on how African women talk, think, and write on sex and sexuality. As they write on their “About” page: “… the blog provides a safe space where African women can openly discuss a variety of sex and sexuality issues with the intention of learning from each other, having pleasurable and safer sex, and encouraging continuous sex education for adults.” Below is a conversation with one of the founders, Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah.
