New reports have emerged which reveal how far South African women go, to make se x more pleasurable for their men.
The
practice known as “dry se x” involves women reducing moisture in their
va ginas in order to make intercourse more pleasurable for men.
According to a Daily Mail report,
the “dry s ex” practice is borne out of a cultural belief that men find
se x more pleasurable if a woman's va gina is dry, and that men will
reject women whose va ginas have been “stretched out” by se x.
To
have a dry va gina, South African women insert chalk, sand, pulverized
rock, herbs, paper or sponges before se x. They also soak their va ginas
in detergents, antiseptics, alcohol and bleach.
This
practice however according to research, can lead to cuts, sores and
inflammation in the va gina, and increases the chance of a condom
breaking.
According to VICE.com, these factors in turn increase the chance of the women contracting sexually transmitted diseases including HIV.
Dr Marlene Wasserman, commonly known in South Africa asDr Eve, said the continued practice of dry se x shows the lack of education relating to equality and women's rights in the area.
“It's
definitely a class issue. Basically, a woman's reputation depends on
the size of her va gina. Among women who are less informed and less
educated, there's an unbelievable ignorance around the idea the va gina
adapts to the pe nis,” Dr Eve toldVICE.com.
She
explained that both men and women fail to understand that the va gina
is capable of expanding during se x - and then back to its usual size
afterwards.
"There is also an incorrect
cultural belief that if a woman has a partner with a large pe nis, her
va gina will remain permanently “stretched” - and future partners will
think she is promiscuous," Dr Eve said.
