A holistic sexologist and sex educator, Sharon Ifeoma Anene better known as Shazzling on social media has explained why unknown to many, women enjoy sex.

Shazzling made this known as a guest on Linkup podcast anchored by reality tv star, Teddy A.

She said: “Women enjoy sex. Do you know why? The clitoris has about 8,000 nerve endings. For men, it’s about half of that. So who do you think, biologically, is enjoying it more? If a woman has 8,000 nerve endings, then anywhere a man touches her, she will feel something. Sex is a taboo topic, and shame culture — the silence culture — is very heavy in many African homes. If you check Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, sex is right there. We talk about survival: water, food, belonging, and love. So why do we remove sex when it is clearly part of human needs?”.

Shedding light on the importance of sex, she said: “Sex is important whether we want to accept it or not. We were born through sex. Sexual intimacy with your partner should happen for you to live a better life — even health-wise. Research has shown that sex can help with depression. I have even told some of my clients who are depressed to go and have sex”.
