By Osa Mbonu Feb 22, Already, quite a number of women from the western world are embarking on sex tourism trips to Africa. When they come, they are served, serviced and pampered, writes Tatenda Gwaambuka on how female sex tourists are exploiting African men. European women cannot get enough of it, but beyond the scenery, there is a new attraction drawing them in. When they want to have a good time no one will know about back home where they are held in high esteem, they come to Africa. Young men stage-manage romantic affairs with the older European women and get to wine and dine with them.

The findings are significant because past research has shown that sexual satisfaction is associated with general well-being, and because they provide a comparison for patterns in developed parts of the world, such as Europe and the United States, Cranney said. This area contains some of the least developed countries in the world. The finding that people tend to be satisfied with their sex lives generally holds across countries, according to previous research, Cranney said. For his study, Cranney used data from the World Gallup Poll to examine socio-demographic and other associations with sex life satisfaction across 31 countries and 25, people in Sub-Saharan Africa in The study considered age, sex, education, income, religiosity, and relationship status, all factors associated with sexual satisfaction in previous research for other parts of the world.

In The Sex Lives of African Women , individual women from across the African continent and its global diaspora speak to their diverse experiences of sex, sexualities and relationships, according to Dialogue Books, as well as revealing common threads. They do this by grappling with experiences of child sexual abuse, resisting the religious edicts of their childhood, and by asserting their sexual power, whether that be by working as a dominatrix or choosing to leave relationships that no longer serve them. Women do all this in a quest to live free. The book's author, Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, spent six years speaking to women from all over the world for her research, including in Ghana and the UK, where she is best connected, as well as from countries including Sao Tome, Senegal, Italy, Brazil and the US. She added: "I am especially delighted to be represented by Robert Caskie who got the vision of this book from the very start and found the perfect home for it with Dialogue Books.
