CARIBBEAN women in the age group 15 to 24 no longer 
accept the "slam bam no orgasm" style of lovemaking from their men. 



The women, especially Antiguan women, simply move on to another partner 
if they are dissatisfied, according to Dr Everold Hosein, organiser of a 
workshop currently being conducted at the Trinidad Hilton 
on "Sexual Pleasure, Sexual Health for the Prevention of HIV/Aids".



The workshop is a collaborative effort of the UWI School of 
Continuing Studies, the Caribbean Population and Family Health 
Programme, the European Union and the Caribbean Foundation for 
Reproductive and Sexual Health.

Mutual Sexual Incompetence

It was organised in an effort to educate, social workers, counsellors, 
nurses and other reproductive health workers in the ways of combining 
the teaching of proper sexual and reproductive health, with the teaching 
of sexuality and sexual pleasure.



Topics at yesterday's conference included "Sex in Calypso, 
Shaping our Sexual Attitudes", "Aids in the Caribbean" and "Caribbean Men as Poor 
Lovers-Mutual Sexual Incompetence".



On the topic of Aids in the Caribbean, director of the UNAIDS 
Caribbean Programme, Dr Jacob Gayle, revealed that between 1982 to 1997 an estimated 
300,000 people in the Caribbean were living with HIV while 110,000 
have died as a result of the disease. Some 50 per cent of all new recorded 
infections were among the 15 to 24 age group. 



Speaking on the theme of "Caribbean Men as Poor Lovers" Hosein went 
back to the 1996 study which showed that an overwhelming amount of women fake 
orgasms. Hosein said that many nurses reported that there was a level of 
"emotional suffering" within the lives of their clients. 



According to Hosein, one of the reasons women gave for faking 
orgasms were: "Men are stupid. They want us to make plenty noise so we make 
plenty noise so that they can finish fast and in some cases because it is painful." 
According to Hosein, the women in the study referred to men's approaches 
to lovemaking as: "Ram, slam, bang, scram... Wining on a bumsee, that maybe is 
the extent of foreplay...



"What is not usually discussed in the Caribbean, and in fact worldwide 
to some extent, is the whole issue of sexual pleasure. People somehow think 
that is supposed to come to us instinctively and this dependence on 
instinct has contributed to enormous emotional suffering because of the absence 
of sexual pleasure in many relationships," said Hosein.



Reproductive health workers from every Caribbean island, Guyana, 
Suriname and other parts of South America are participating in this 
workshop, which will run until the end of the week.
