What is "dry sex" and why do people in Africa practice it

Among the inhabitants of the Black continent, with the exception of those who inhabit its northern part, "dry sex" has long been popular. This special "technique", according to those who practice it, helps a man and a woman to get maximum pleasure from intimacy. At the same time, doctors do not share the delight of resourceful Africans and now you will understand why.

The main thing in "dry sex" is to achieve minimum humidity of male and female genitals. Especially carefully dry the female womb. Persistent and patient lovers who want to know the most vivid sensations use different ways to do this. Both conventional moisture-absorbing wipes and chemicals are used. Soap, shampoos, herbal decoctions and even household detergents are popular.

African men believe that the maximum dryness of the genitals provides good friction. It is considered to be the key to vivid emotions during intercourse. This custom has become so firmly embedded in intimate life that in some regions women perceive "humidity" as something abnormal or as a sign of debauchery.

Of course, this way of having sex not only causes special sensations, but also creates serious problems. Doctors believe that "dry sex" is dangerous. This is one of the factors contributing to the spread of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases among Africans. In the absence of lubrication, the likelihood of microtrauma during sex increases greatly, which become a gateway for infections.

The lubricant secreted by the glands of the female and male genitals contains a natural antiseptic. Of course, it cannot protect against infection, but it still somewhat reduces this probability. It's also no secret that dryness is one of the main enemies of condoms. Barrier contraceptives are torn much more often, which also does not contribute to reducing the incidence of "bad ailments".

Today, doctors working in African countries, along with explaining the benefits of condoms, tell local residents about the dangers of "dry sex". The northern part of the continent, where Islam is widespread, is free from this fashion. But female circumcision, which is even more dangerous for health and life, is still practiced there.
