It is often said sex sells but little is said of how sex
kills....perhaps this attitude may just be behind the sex craze that is
apparently beginning to manifest itself outrightly within the republic!
Note the following interesting items that have just hit our media portals of late!
- Today morning one of the news items on a local radio station was that a study conducted in a Kenyan Church revealed that 1 out of 10 married Kenyan men are having an extra marital affair...now that's not a figure you would expect to get in a church but again factors as to the size of the church come into play.
- The Standard today reports that annually around 1,000 Kenyan women are trafficked to Germany for sex trade, ponography and other illicit acts. CRADLE a Kenya human right's group (youth at Kenyan party) reports that child abuse/Defilement cases of youth aged between 10-14 years has increased in middle class neighbourhoods such as South C, Buru Buru, Kilimani, Utalii, Ridgeways, and Westlands amog others.
- Wednesdays' Morning Maina Kageni's talk Show on Classic 105.2 Fm featured an advert on one of the local dailies classifieds about a prostitution den in Komarock /Umoja where one can get to witness one, two, three or even five lesbians having sex at the price of Kshs 5,000 (about 70 US Dollars) per hour. And what was shocking was that this live sex shows were prevalent in almost all the middle class neighbourhoods within Nairobi. Most of the participants are young teenagers.
- Both Kenyan dailies, the Nation and the Standard Newspapers, had to pull out the personals and beauty classified sections afer the same featured brazen adverts for escort services, massage parlours, prostitution (gay,lesbian,bi sexual services), local ponographic adult DVDs, Kenyan swingers website links, sex enhancement products, among others.
- But what shows the extent of moral degradation and corruption that has been embraced as normal is the fact that posters don the city centre advertising local adult DVD's (to make it more raunchy they describe them as featuring Luhya, Kamba ,Kalenjin, and Taita girls) available for home delivery complete with phone number at almost every corner on Kimathi Street or Moi Avenue. Church keshas with savvy gospel music have in some instances been the precipice for orgies (happened with the Israelites when they adopted Caananite festivals and danced under the large trees and before the disgusting images of baal of peor that featured the male and female sexual organs. They even had an official temple prostitute remember-there is no new trick that Satan uses, just same old, same old !)
The country seems to be pre-occupied with sex and its trade at almost all levels of society,the music, the entertainment, the adverts,the tv shows, local mini -series you name it one would think that we have just discovered sex!Nude bars/table top strippers are now not a preserve of the West but right at the heart of the City Centre as entertainment joints ( Liddos and Apple Bees etc). And they have the audacity of advertising on local media despite stringent criminal and prohibitive legislation such as the Penal Code!
What is perhaps disheartening is the fact that the many school going teenage girls and boys are being recruited into this vice when they can hardly make an informed decision. Further is the fact that due to unemployment, rampant and high competition for the limited university employment...wanton sex and drug abuse has become the pasttime for many youths.
Like Bernie Mac would say: KENYA ! RIGHT THERE YOU ARE SITTING ON A PROBLEM! The challenge now falls primarily on parents, the religious leaders, society, and the government in that peking order!
