Before Your Next Sex is a collection of stories based on the writer’s odd but strangely intriguing experiences while working as a physician in rural clinics in Africa. Catering mostly to poorly educated patients, he is shocked to discover that most of their health beliefs and practices were rooted in obscure cultural myths that affected their health-seeking behaviors.
Invoking the power of storytelling, an art strongly recognized in the African tradition, the writer paddles from the mundane and ridiculous, to the brutal, and then the unjustifiable, demystifying and debunking fatal myths surrounding these health practices.
