In light of the Christmas festivities, I was trying to get in touch with a few old friends I hadn’t spoken to in a while.  During one of the catch up conversations about what was happening in town, the conversation miraculously shifted to the bedroom antics of women of different cultures and races.

According to my friend, due to the way women are brought up in Ghana, they are generally very timid in the bedroom. He attributed that to the fact that girls whiles growing up have been taught that sex is a bad act, the result of which is unwanted pregnancy. As such most girls grow up with the mindset that sex is only for procreation, and they generally lack the willingness to explore all the pleasures that it has to offer. He further went on to say that he has never met a Ghanaian woman who has ever initiated the act.

Contrary to the Ghanaian women approach, he argued that women of other cultures have a more open mind towards sex. American women especially are very adventurous in the bedroom and are always willing to try out new things in order to reach maximum satisfaction. ‘Seks’ is not only for procreation purposes but a means to explore the unimaginable sensual pleasures that can be derived from the body.

I was very quiet during this conversation because as a Ghanaian woman myself, I don’t have much experience in that regards. Even though I agree with the fact that ‘seks’ is generally seen as something dirty in our culture, I believe that a lot of women are now exposed to the bountiful pleasures it has to offer and as such have shed any negative mindset they had about it. Yes in the past this assertion might have been true, but today’s Ghanaian woman has developed a more open mind about her sexuality.

So Guys what do you think? Are Ghanaian women generally lazy and unadventurous in the bedroom? Do we behave differently from our European/American or Nigerian counterparts?
