LAMODE REALITY
Please remember I didn’t have the resources or time
to conduct a national survey or research so these
findings and indeed this article is loosely factual and
more common sense and opinion based.
Ok so when I got this topic to write on for a
magazine article I thought how the hell will I know
why young women are choosing to become or
engage in bi and homo-sexual activities? I mean even
the subject of ‘sex’ and talking about it is frowned
upon in this part of the world (West Africa) how
much more the issue of homosexuality!
Indeed I thought this would be a challenge…until I
began my research…and by this I don’t mean
conducting tests and doing surveys but just having a
good old ‘chinwag’ (talk) with people around me and
beyond.
See what is interesting in my findings is that most
people I spoke with have had encounters and
experiences with homosexuality, although many of
them insist on not pursuing or actively engaging in
the actual act. Most of these (in fact almost 96%
percent of the) people I spoke with claim to have
first come to know about homosexuality in ‘boarding
school’. I have never been to boarding school in my
life but from these testimonials, attending an all boys
or female boarding and at an age where your sexual
curiosity is just starting to sprout played a huge part
in their experiences.
A lot of the stories I heard pretty much sounded the
same and yes its true most of these young women
and men are now heterosexual and have partners of
the opposite sex however the topic we are discussing
today is why a lot of our generation are choosing to
engage in homosexuality or becoming bi-sexual.
More specifically, why are women in our society
choosing to sleep with women and carry on the
pretence of a heterosexual relationship?
Well there is no right answer but in my opinion the
words GREED and CONFUSED comes to mind.
