As if non and communicable diseases were not inflicting enough of a dent on our national budget, we are now told to watch-out for another malady to add to the list. Word on the ground supported by media reports paints a sad story that many of our young males are going to the grave in their quest to sexually satisfy their partners. While it is true that young Barbadian men have always had access to sexual stimulants through the years, can we agree that there seem to be an over reliance of late on enhancers to boost sexual performance.
We understand that two of the more popular sexual enhancers on the market are Coffin and Stone. Common sense should dictate that the negative feedback about the use of Coffin and Stone causing users to die would negatively affect sales, not so according to media reports. We see a parallel to tobacco use. Despite all the negative reports and the high price of the product because of government taxes sales remain high.
Why would our young men risk their life by ingesting or applying substances to improve sexual prowess?
How can we define sexual prowess?
Is it based on the length of time a man can withhold an orgasm?
Is this what lovemaking has been reduced to by our young people?
We are quick to blame the man in the current scenario but what about the role of the woman?
Why does she permit herself to be used as a receptacle?
Our concern in the BU household is centered on the obvious link between the rising use of sexual enhancers to boost sexual performance by our men, and the devaluation of the relationship.
How do we define a relationship anyway?
What mirror images do our young males have of themselves, when the ultimate act of sexual interaction humans use to express love and affection is relegated to the tedium of humps per second?
