Val's Day: Young People and Sexual Awareness II

Image
PREVIOUSLY Regrettably, several young people are still battling with sexual and reproductive health challenges resulting from practicing unhealthy sexual behaviors, having multiple sexual partners, early involvement in sexual activities and failure to protect themselves and their sexual and reproductive health. These were choices made last year during this season or several years ago and the resultant infections have become terminal simply because of these wrong choices and failure to discover the early signs and seek professional help.

Val's Day: Young People and Sexual Awareness

  If you are a parent or guardian and a staunch believer of the ideology that your child or the young person in your care is too young to know about sex, is not aware of sexual attractions, can never be actively engaging in or considering indulging their raging hormones, then you will definitely believe it when I say that fishes no longer need water to survive. The thing about fishes sounds ridiculous right? Without being economical with the truth, that is exactly how your belief sounds in today's world.  As much as you might want to argue that such parents are non-existent, sadly, despite all the stories on social media surrounding young people and bad sexual choices, most parents and guardians are still like the proverbial ostrich whose head is buried in the sand. For most of them, it is; IMPOSSIBLE!

Older Adults and Val's Day - Refuting the Myth

  I saw the flyer attached to this post and it prompted me to write this article.  There's no doubting the fact that mother's should be celebrated. That is not my focus tonight.  My aim or better still, the intent of this article is to refute the myth that sexuality and celebration of lover's day is NOT for the older adults. I will ignore the fact that the flyer referred to only ladies and rivert my attention on the widely accepted genders (male and female). Do not worry, t his will not be a long article since I want to believe that the flyer is only a joke, But since it is being circulated online, I think my comment might ease someone's spiking anxiety.

Ripples, Season Finale

The evening wind picked up and chased dead leaves along the partly muddy road as Kene tried to figure out what just happened but his brain refused to process the events surrounding him that evening.  I am probably drunk and must have dozed off somewhere after last night’s birthday parte; a part of him analyzed. But I stopped taking alcoholic beverages a long time ago after ... he suddenly halted that trail of thought. He didn't feel the need to rouse the ghosts from his past after the emotionally draining evening.  I am certainly not drunk and the pain in my chest from that brutes elbow was too real to be a dream. That guy nearly killed me for nothi... “Congratulations sir.” A husky voice startled him back to reality. It was one of Sade's men. Kene stared at the man who was beaming at him as if he had just won a betting game. He had assumed the man had left with Sade. How come he didn't feel his presence earlier? “My name is Brendan.

He grabbed Kene by the shirt, shoved him  backwards and pinned him on Bam Bam's car.  Kene winced from the impact and pushed  against his rock solid chest but his struggles were like that of a kid pushing against a bag of bricks. He gasped for breath as the huge man's elbow dug into his chest, holding him in place.  Bam Bam rubbed a finger against her brow and sighed loudly; "Leash your dog Dapo. You can't go about assaulting innocent people!" "Let me go! I didn't do anything!"  Kene yelped and fought harder to push the hulk off him but this only infuriated the man and he increased the pressure on kene's chest.
