African Sexuality
The purpose of African sex is to serve Ma'at (truth, justice, harmony and balance). African culture believes that the sex organs have two functions which are reproduction (ejaculation, conception) and regeneration (injaculation, orgasm without climax). African culture also believes that each act of intercourse creates either a child, a spirit child or a thought. African sex is a spiritual activity and a way to serve God (Creator) and usually a prayer is said before the act of sex or a ritual and/or ceremony is done to spiritualize the activity.
-Dr Llaila O. Afrika, from the Introduction, "The Sex Imperative", Mwalimu K. Bomani Baruti www.AKOBENHOUSE.COM
