By Kagure The Saturday afternoon catch up session led to Saturday night wine and leftovers affair. I hadn’t seen Wambui since our second year at university when our university had told her she was not quite academically welcome anymore. Since then she had moved to the United Kingdom and we had since lost touch. She […]
By Anonymous Voyeurism (n.) the practice of obtaining sexual gratification by looking at sexual objects of acts, especially secretively. Being a grown up means you learn things about the world and over the last few years I have learned a few things I am (and am not) into. I have always been into cream, whipped and […]
By Hamda Lawal I do not really consider myself as someone that has a high sex drive. I figure that I enjoy sex as much as the next woman, but then a pattern has emerged. When I started dating people, and freaky times roll around, after the first couple of steamy sessions I would usually be […]
By ‘A lover of women’ I had always found women intriguing. I did not necessarily see it as a sexual , more like a sense of admiration for everything they were. I was drawn in to how strong they were, how soft at the same time. They were beautiful, wise whilst still sometimes being so […]
By Cosmic Yoruba Nwando Achebe writes that “woman-to-woman marriage in Africa has absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality” (emphasis, hers)…and I actually agree with this…kind of. While I strongly believe in pre-colonial lesbian secret societies littered across the African continent, at the risk of falling into the trap of Eurocentric and Western (mis)understanding of African social institutions, it […]

Ironically the same body never says the same thing to the same person, let alone different people. Considering that bodies never mean (or tell us) […]
By Lungile You never ‘got in’ so don’t come out and don’t you dare try to justify why you need to be who you are. Fight to be equal instead, it’s imperative that humans understand that you too are human. Beautifully so. Teach them to co-exist, don’t force you existence into their lives, they don’t […]
By HomoSenegalensis *Trigger warning: sexual assault As of late, my lover has this habit of calling me in the middle of the night “just to say goodnight”, but that of course always ends up in long conversations. A couple of weeks ago, we talked about language. To be precise, I went on a long monologue […]
By SheRoxLox/ @sheroxlox There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t have to think about my body – how much I’ve moved it (or not), what I’ve put into it, what it looks like in whatever outfit I’ve chosen to wear. But thinking about my body isn’t something particularly new, it isn’t something that […]
