The Sex Lives of African Women : Self Discovery, Freedom, and Healing
By Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
 Â
  In these confessional pages, women control their own bodies and desires, work toward healing their painful pasts, and learn to assert their sexual power. Weaving a rich tapestry of experiences with a sex-positive outlook, The Sex Lives of African Women is an empowering, subversive book that celebrates the liberation, individuality, and joy of African women’s multifaceted sexuality.Â
    From a queer community in Egypt, to polyamorous life in Senegal, and a reflection on the intersection of religion and pleasure in Cameroon, feminist author Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah explores the many layers of love and desire, its expression, and how it defines who we are.
    Sekyiamah has spent decades talking openly and intimately to African women around the world about sex for her blog, Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women. For this book she spoke to over 30 African women across the globe while chronicling her own journey toward sexual freedom.
