Comments on: About http://adventuresfrom.com We think there is a serious lack of relevant and useful information about the sexuality of African women. This blog is a space for African women to share tips, experiences and more...

They too were preoccupied with the body proportions of both men and women, so much so that they made up the notion that Africans were promiscuous and a horny lot to excuse THEIR sexual abuse. Africans are no more promiscuous than the Dutch, you folks border on deviant in some instances; didn't your people lobby to change the age of a consenting adult from 16 to 12 and to legalize child pornography a few years ago? Your attempt at sounding clever only highlighted that fact that you have the mentality of a 17th century bigot. Please leave us as we discover what brings us pleasure in our bedrooms. That may or may not involve gigantic genitalia, wouldn't you like to know? Take your foolishness elsewhere. @Lola: You personify primitive given that your comment mirrors what your ancestors thought of Africa and her people when they arrived on the continent uninvited eons ago.

This blog is not a space for people like you to come and spout archaic, racists and backwards views. I'm sure there is a clan website out there that is more suited to your opinions about Africans and their genitalia. And speaking about African genitalia...you seem to be well acquainted with it. In your 2 other comments on the blog you made reference to size and HIV. Now, if you've encountered a well endowed African who subsequently infected you with AIDS, you have my sympathies, but again, you need to seek out a support group or some other place to vent your idiotic blanket views about all Africans. You should know that any of your future posts will be blocked, as you have been identified as a troll. However, thanks for stopping by. Your comments have proven that racism and the ideals of white supremacy are still alive and well, and we must be aware of that. However, we don't have to entertain it. Our "primitive" culture teaches us that at least!

Wow. I hardly know how to respond to this comment. Especially from a woman from the Netherlands, a country that I thought was very progressive. Sigh. First of all Africa is not a primitive continent. Some would say countries where people like Brevik run rampage are the primitive ones but lets not go there. In case you are not aware the sexual abuse of women is a worldwide phenomenon. As someone who has had the privilege of living and travelling throughout the world I know that Africans are not more promiscuous than other people. And yes depending on which African country you're referring to rates of HIV & AIDS can be as high as 35% or as low as 3%. Gigantic genitalia? I don't even know how to respond to that. This gigantic genitalia myth seems to be a subject of endless fascination for people who wish to fantastise about what these genitalia can do for them huh? Anyway thanks for commenting and dispelling some of my myths about how progressive people in the Netherlands are. @Lola – I am assuming you heard the interview we did on Netherlands radio? Wow.

It's great for African women to have a place to blog about their sexual experiences. In such a primitive continent, where sexual abuse is rife, women need to stick together and share their stories, particularly as Africans are such promiscuous people, and AIDS is rife. Maybe it's got to do with having such gigantic genitalia? I heard about this site on NPR radio. It’s great for African women to have a place to blog about their sexual experiences.
