When I received my cupcake shaped Strawberry Dreams bath brûlée from Diva Choice I must say I was extremely impressed by the quality of packaging. I am a stickler for attention to detail and the divas who wrapped up the product made it evident that they actually cared about the product and the customer receiving the item. I decided to treat myself to an early evening bath with the bath brûlée so had to set the perfect scene, i-pod ...  [Read more]

Fellow Adventurers who live in Ghana, there is a wonderful writers symposium going on in Accra right now (and up to the 19th of May) organised by the Organisation of Women Writers of African Descent (OWWA) and our very own Mbaasem founded by the legendary Ama Ata Aidoo, and run by one of my fav people Kinna Likimani On Saturday, 18th May I will be speaking on a panel about 'Writing Sexuality' alongside amazing writers and poets including ...  [Read more]

A friend sent me these cool graphics. Instantly I thought of my newly celibate sisters (*ahem* Ekuba and Naa Adjeley)...but for everyone else, happy masturbating ...  [Read more]

  When I woke up this morning, I knew that I was going to give celibacy another try. That’s how I make all my major decisions you know- I mull over it for weeks, months even. Then one day, out of the blue, I just know deep down inside exactly what I want to do. That’s how I made the decision to become a lawyer 5 years ago, the decision to grow my own natural hair 3 years ago and the decision to become a vegetarian 6 months ago ...  [Read more]

Greetings fellow Adventurers! Things are shaking up over here on Adventures. We have a new look and loads of great new content. To add to that, this summer promises to be a blockbuster for readers and writers of African fiction and chick-lit (if it's still PC to call it that.)  Chimamanda Adiche has written Americanah, Nnnenna Marcia and VV are about to be published, and yours truly finally put finger tips to keyboard and completed the ...  [Read more]

I love my breasts. They are big, curve gently downwards, and swoop upwards where they are topped off by rather magnificent big brown nipples (even if I say so myself). Everyday I restrain my boobs in a brassiere. I love to wear pretty bras. I have a pink and black polka dot set, a fuchsia bra with matching french knickers, a leopard print bra...I'm not even sure how many lingerie sets I own. And yes, I like to wear matching sets. I laugh when I ...  [Read more]

Dear Kwasi, Anytime that I want to leave you I hear my mother’s voice say “I know you’re a lawyer but make sure you don’t become one of those I-know-my-rights-women. Aboa pete dze ne kwasia pe nyinkyer”. You see, baby, I don’t want to become one of those I-know-my-rights-women.  I don’t want to be a ‘liberated woman’ who refuses to submit to the Eurocentric standard of beauty and so walks around in styles she claims are ...  [Read more]

For those of us that engage in regular masturbation, toy playing and sexual intercourse, it is no secret the most important part in achieving the best orgasm is: lubrication, lubrication, lubrication! The use of a good lube can be the difference between great sex and uncomfortable sex for a lot of women as it not only enhances the feels ‘down there’ (for both men and women), but also provides the needed wetness that many women are not able ...  [Read more]

Tomorrow I will be interviewed by the fabulous Amina Doherty, hostess of 'Young Women Speak Out' *Ahem* Yes o, some people still think I am young. Hehe...maybe this is one of those instances of being 'young at heart'. I digress... Amina and I will be in conversation about all the subjects that fascinate me, and the various issues and causes I am passionate about...sexual rights, sex, sexualities...did I say sex already? Ha! We will ...  [Read more]

It hurt my heart to read Dede’s piece “Please God, Let Me Be Fertile” and it was this line: “It didn’t help that anytime I asked people what they knew about uterine fibroids they were so ignorant” that really struck a chord with me.  Fibroids are definitely a “been there, done that” experience for a good number of us African women, so why don’t we talk about them more? Why don’t we all know more about them? When I was ...  [Read more]
