I would first of all like to say that this was inspired after I read Darian’s post on her sexuality and Christianity. (I know, it’s from way back in 2009) This post is very much a personal one, and I’m in no way trying to judge the sexual climate in Ghana … I’m just talking about my experiences. Anyway.
