I don’t know about other cultures but the Ugandan girl receives too much sexual education whilst the boy is ignored and left to fend for himself. Apart from a few tribes like the Bagisu whose boys undergo several rites and rituals which include sex education as they are initiated into manhood, most of the males are left to their own vices and peers. We therefore end up having a very matured and “educated” girl while the boys are novices.
From a tender age, girls are taught what is right and what is not, how to sit, speak, bath, eat. Their body parts are tampered with like pulling of the labia which is common in some cultures. the labia Is elongated to help the girl have pleasure when she is having sex and also enable her to please her man. This happens at a very tender age when the girl is most likely still a virgin and not sexually active, her body though is being prepared for sex.
When a girl is being prepared for marriage, more secrets are revealed to her, vaginal steaming, taught what to eat and not to eat. She is introduced to herbs, beads, special towels all these to ensure that she is able to satisfy her man and self sexually.
Unfortunately, while we give attention to our girls, who is taking care of the boys?
A girl is well prepared and expects to find a stallion in bed only to be disappointed by an amateur, most men do not know how to satisfy a woman and because the girl has been trained to be polite, she suffers in silence and may never point out to her partner that she is not being pleasured.
I beseech all the males to take care of these boys, copy your female counterparts and begin to whisper words of wisdom in their ears, teach them the tricks, pass down the secrets to these boys, otherwise you are doing them an injustice by not sharing this knowledge.
Teach them basic hygiene and grooming, bathing, brushing teeth, dressing up, the world is tired of dirty unkempt men running around thinking that it is macho to stink like a he goat!
Hold their hands and teach them how to feed and take care of the goods in their pants. So many women are suffering silently because of one-minute men. Teach them how to eat pumpkin leaves, ginger, ginseng. For crying out loud begin to hold session of basic science, let them study the anatomy of the female body. The world is tired of men who do not know what to do with the female body.
Above all teach them how to work, be respectful and manly at the same time.
Seek out boys being brought up by single mothers and take them under your wings. In fact, open boot camps to train these little boys. You will be doing the world a huge favor by taking on these boys.
Enough of girl child education, let us have our boys oriented too!
