A Consultant Gynecologist at the School of Medical Sciences at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Sciences and Technology (KNUST), Dr. Roderick Emil Larson-Reindorf, has disclosed that the elasticity of the female’s sex organ allows it to accommodate any male organ size.
He indicated that this could be done if the vagina is properly stimulated before penetration and urged men to ensure that this is adequately done to avoid bruises during sex.
The situation where females, during sex encounters, experience pain as a result of friction could be linked to the failure by their male partners to adequately stimulate them before penetration.
According to him, during sexual intercourse most Ghanaian men are always in a rush to penetrate when issues surrounding pre-penetration are not completed as required.
The lubrication of the female organ, according to him, plays a key factor in easy entrance and exit of the male organ during love making, reiterating the fact it is only when the vagina is well lubricated that it could give easy passage to the male organ.
Dr. Larson-Reindorf was responding to question by participants at a Family Planning Media Training workshop in Temale.
Discussants noted that the low patronage of female condoms in the country was as a result of the perception that it results in the gradual closure of the female organ and cervix of women who use them.
Most women, according to the journalists, claimed their partners complained they were not comfortable using the condoms as it made penetration very difficult for them and that for fear of losing them they had to abandon usage.
Dr. Larson-Reindorf bemoaned the low patronage of female condoms in the country, indicating that it was a major challenge to health care providers and encouraged women to use it for the purposes for which they were designed.
The Acting Dean of the University for Development Studies (UDS) Medical School, Dr. Sam Bugri, agreed with concerns that the use of the female condoms reduces vaginal secretion which heightens enjoyment of their male counterparts.
According to him, the outer part of the female condom has been lubricated whereas the inner part where the penis is inserted is not, and thus only allows for the enjoyment of women to the disadvantage of men.
He observed that the low patronage of female condoms was also as a result of other options and the lack of promotions by making the product available for females.
