		<description><![CDATA[Yes ladies, we’re going there today! It’s the thing that everyone does but hates to talk about and I’m not referring to farting   Ok, I agree- not everyone does it. Take my big sister for example. She once confided in me that she had never masturbated before.
Before you get skeptical, let me explain. She was born with a terminal illness and she has spent most of her life in pain. Understandably, when your body is constantly in intense pain, stroking your genitalia may be the last thing on your mind.
Which brings us to the 65% of women &#38; 90% of men who masturbate: (come on ladies is it really only 65% of us ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Missie (short version of Mistress),
You probably expect this to be another article that condemns you and tells you you’re a horrible person for banging another woman’s husband.  You probably expect me to urge you to leave him.
But I won’t say these things to you because I know you’ve heard them over and over again. How do I know? You see, Missie, I have been you before- once.
Actually, I have been you five times. I have dated five married men and this is the biggest regret of my life. I remember the one that I fell in love with. After he took me for a moonlit stroll on the beach, gazed into my eyes and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My uncle raped me when I was four. Sometimes, I ask myself what he found so attractive about me at that age to make him do that to me. Was it my flat, unripe bosom? Or my carefree smile that glinted with innocence- the innocence which he took away from me forever? I will never know. Who can fathom a pervert’s mind?
He stopped molesting me when I was ten and then I started touching myself. In order to climax, I would fantasize about the things my uncle did to me, which I enjoyed. That is my secret. Not the touching-  but that I enjoyed what was done to me. Now that I’m an adult, I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Polygamy is the devil. If you thought that the devil’s zipcode was hell, I am here to tell you that he has been residing and bedding our African society, for ages. It is time that we, ‘rikitaad the madimoni’, -cast the polygamy demon-out of our household.  No, I am not a full blooded feminist, but I do subscribe to the ideology of gender equity and equality. Matters pertaining to the continual disenfranchisement of the African woman, in this day and age, where supposedly women are running the world a la Beyonce, are close to my heart. Ponder on what I just said, by asking yourself the Afropolitan Experience, 5 in 5 staple question, “What does ...]]></description>

How to use a vibe
&#160;
I’ve had a few people ask me, ‘So how does one use a vibrator’? And that’s a question that has always stopped me in my tracks because it makes me think ‘So how did I learn to use a vibrator’?
I bought my first vibrator at an Ann Summers party (Ann Summers is a chain of sex shops in the UK), and the Ann Summers sales rep had ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Photography by Daniel Arthur
At an event in Accra a few weeks ago I saw this young man wearing a T shirt that says &#8216;Pussy Magnet&#8217; (as pictured). I run after him and asked if I could take a picture for my blog. &#8220;So what does it mean when you have pussy magnet written on your t-shirt&#8221; I asked him. He was surprisingly bashful, and tried to laugh off my question. &#8220;You can&#8217;t be shy and wear a t-shirt like this you know&#8221;.  I can&#8217;t remember his exact words but basically he reckons women are attracted to him, and he loves &#8216;pussy&#8217;&#8230;or something along those lines.
What are your thoughts on sexually explicit t-shirts. I&#8217;m not a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been putting this massive job off for a while now, but the time has come for us to re-design this website with the help of our lovely sponsors at Web4Africa
So here is your opportunity to influence the re-design.
What kind of features would you like the website to have?
What colour palette would you like?
What should we consider when designing the site?
What currently works with this site? And what doesn&#8217;t work as well?
What would be an absolute &#8216;no no&#8217; for you?
What would be an &#8216;oh yes&#8217; for you?
Malaka has graciously agreed to be re-design lead and work with the Web4Africa team on our new website so we need your feedback as soon as possible.
My initial thoughts ...]]></description>

I have to make this note brief so that I can write the next installment before you all nail me to the wall for not having it done.   I need your help.
Nana has identified a publisher who might be interested in looking at this work. However, I have to submit a synopsis of the work &#8211; and unfinished work. I have many strong suits, but writing about what I&#8217;m writing about is not one of them. I have never been any good at writing synopses. So will you help me?

		<description><![CDATA[ My BFFFL Nana Darkoa is a staunch feminist. We haven’t always seen eye-to-eye on everything, but she generally has a way of conveying her point convincingly. As a feminist, part of her dogma lies in the belief that the “person is political”, meaning everything we do as individuals is political in some way. I typically roll me eyes whenever this though is asserted. Why are feminists always making everything so bloody political, I think inwardly. Outwardly I would nod politely in response, just to avoid a potential confrontation. How very “unfeminist” of me; I know.
As Fate and Time have a funny way of doing, I have recently been forced to revisit this concept of personhood ...]]></description>

As a former Londoner, the Southbank was one of my favourite places to visit whether I was broke or not   When I was broke I could walk along the Thames, and when I was flush I would treat myself to a meal at one of the numerous restaurants near the centre before catching a show. But I digress&#8230;
I enjoyed creating the podcast, and I am especially pleased that Hannah Pool, a member of the curating team for WOW worked ...]]></description>
