How to Have the Best Sex: Advice for Zambian Men Part 1

A man was admitted to Livingstone Central
Hospital after having one liter of blood drained
from his manhood to relieve him of a three-day
erection. The attending UTH urologist Dr Michael
Silumbe had advised men who have sexual
problems to seek medical attention instead of
resorting to taking aphrodisiac substances. Dr.
Silumbe had further said the lengthy erection
suffered by the Livingstone man was due to
priapism and could lead to erectile
dysfunction.
“Priapism is a condition where an erection lasts
more than four hours. A normal erection should
not last that long. This leads to the reduction of
oxygen floor to the tissues and also leads to
acidosis, meaning more acid gets to the tissues
and could damage the muscles if not corrected
in time,” Dr. Silumbe said. (The Post, Sunday

The man in this story was 36 years old and was
apparently on separation from his wife and
had gone to see a girlfriend. Fortunately, the
story ended well for the man as he was given
medical treatment and he apparently
recovered.
The purpose of this article is to provide some
informal advice to Zambian men on how they
can have the best sex without necessarily
resorting to taking modern or traditional
aphrodisiacs. I do not claim to be an expert
sexologist but I have lived long and gained
enough knowledge to offer advice to younger
and even older Zambian men.
But before we proceed, a few ground rules. This
article intends to be respectful. Therefore, it
will avoid use of explicit anatomical language
which often reduces a man sharing one of the
most special fulfilling private social actions with
a woman, into a cheap short meaningless
physical activity. If you want to know the
various biological parts of a female and a male
to gain some basic sexual education, this is not
the purpose of this article. If you would like to
know those clinical details read a textbook in
reproductive biology, human anatomy and
physiology or some of the numerous manuals on
how to have sex.
