Thorpido has done justice to your questions really! I'm hoping this thread goes far to enlighten those who don't know.

I don't even think it should be called female circumcision but female genital mutilation.

If it does prevent promiscuity it's probably from the emotional trauma the victim has experienced (that's for those who had it done at an age where they were aware)during the process.

Many women who were circumcised do not enjoy sex per se later on in life. This is one of its many disadvantages.

As for the powder ish..... its total hogwash! Of true then we shouldn't be using dusting powder at all since it purportedly has many cause effects! There's some talk about it being linked to cervical cancer though! I also don't see the essence of adding something with menthol to a baby's privates anyway.

I will advice you keep a close watch on your aunt so she doesn't convince your mum to chop off baby's "you know what".

This Africa sef na wa! One minute we seem to be moving away from old traditions next minute you'll see someone doing this to their child

Jesus Christ!!!

@ MizMyColi
Congrats on the birth of your precious lo.
Pls turn detective for that your aunt so she doesn't do the mutilation behind your back.
Cos if she does, its sorry that will end the matter and harm would have been done.
Please, ask her if she was circumcised, how the experience was, and if she's happy for it.

Behind my back?
Ohh Christ!!!

Them no born am!
Waaattt?!!?!!

Well, let me not talk further.

She is not that kind of person.

Thank you Sis. To God be the glory.

I tell whoever is available for omugwo what and how I want my baby to be treated and if you don't like it please take the next exit.

Mizmycoli DONT allow such no matter how convincing they may appear, even pressing of the hoo-ha with hot water is another form of genital mutilation, I keep a hawks eye on whoever is bathing my babe as in i NEVER leave the environment still s/he is dressed and handed to me. I've had several run ins with my mum and mil based on some archaic practices they want to apply on my child. My mum keeps saying I did this and that to you yet you didn't die how will the same thing now be harmful to your own child?

The argument is endless but i always stay firm and you should too cos your baby is relying on you to stand up and protect her at all times.

Congrats by the way and kisses to the lil one kiss


Circumsized or not a promiscuous person will be promiscuous just do your part as parent and hope and pray the environment doesn't daleru your hard work.

Lol @daleru grin grin

Experienced Papas Mamas and Doctors, please help me chook mouth inside this matter o.

So an aunt saw mum bathing my daughter and started asking why we didn't cut off that thing in her hoohaa.
I started wailing that it is not even something any mom in this age should consider.

Then she said there is an alternative.
That leaving it like that will make her too "active"
That alternative is dusting powder.
Dusting powder!!!

She says it will kill some cells that cause the need for too much pleasure.

Please don't read and waka pass o.
Let us deal with this matter.
People need to be aware.

I am concerned because I wouldn't want to my girl to grow up and start being promiscuous. I heard a story of one waka waka lady who claimed that it was because nothing was done to her hoohaa...

Is there even any truth in that?
If there is, are there ways one can prevent such?

Should the hoohaa of our female infants be left just as they are? Any risks.

Help please embarassed

You have a daughter? shocked shocked shocked
Re: Using Dusting Powder As An Alternative To Circumcision Of Female Infants by 5minsmadness: 1:55pm On Nov 25, 2016
thorpido:
Your own hoohaa wasn't touched as a child,was it?
I don't see any relationship between dusting powder and it's effect on c.lit.It definitely doesn't kill cells there.

Promiscuity to a great extent has to do with knowledge,exposure and lack of training. As a child grows(boy or girl),he/she is made aware of the changes in the body and the effects.Self restraint and sexual education/safe sex is also taught.

Congrats on the birth of your LO.

MizMyColi:


Yes.
But then I have seen the hoohaa of some ladies and it looks so tattered.
I don't know if it is lack of circumcision or due to too much sex.

Tattered is not the right word.

Some women have flabby/flappy labia. Other women's labia fit just fine. Yet others elongate following trauma/sex etc.


A clit0ris is packed full of nerve endings that are xtremely pleasurable when stimulated. It is the main organ via which women enjoy sex. Retaining the c1itoris will ensure your daughter grows up to love and appreciate sex far better than her circumcised counterparts. Anyone telling u anything else is either ignorant or trying to sweet-mouth you.


It doesnt mean you should circumcise her though.

I'm just weak.

Is she aware that talc powder has been linked to cervical cancer.

I'm sure they use very hot water to 'massage' the poor girl's vagina.

I just hope they do not carry out the circumcision behind the mum's back.

One of my 'friends' at uni was circumcised as a baby in nigeria and na she f**k and change boyfriend pass. She's the first and only person I know to admit owning a Dildooo !!!

Lol.
I'm surprised this question is coming from you o.
'but then, there can never be too much awareness.

There has been ongoing sensitization on the adverse effects of 'dusting powder'.
Maybe you should read that up for a start.

I will advise you watch closely whenever someone else is bathing your LO. Our mothers do some of these things with good mind_ sometimes ignorance, not knowing they could be harmful.

My MIL has talent of using hot water that can comfortably skin okuko. Her own is story for another day...

By the way thank God it's Friday. I am in the mood of dancing grin

Hot water is not harmful as long as its not scalding hot. You can let them do that i.e press the vagina.

But i'm in support with someone who said u should watch your aunt, some women use excuse of pressing the vagina to try and crush the clit0ris between thier fingers.

Blood of babalawo. All these aunts and relatives will not kill someone. I tell u, if u check that ur aunt own and check her children they are still intact. I don't know why our african society is still too backwards in such things. Thats how an aunt came to our house then a started trying to implement her views which she never succeeded doing in her own house. Fear those people.

Okay.
Mum bathes her and I'm always there.
She doesn't do such crude tactic, plus the hot water she uses is same as the one she uses in bathing her bod.
