Kampala, Uganda: Bisexuality in Uganda! Whaat?

-
"..bisexuality in Uganda," hinted Gershom

 "Whaat?" Asked Tom incredulously.


"Don't tell me, you did not know about us. We are bisexuals!" Confessed Gershom. 

Gershom and another friend, Tom, were walking down Kampala Road to join 8 other friends. The event that brought them together was also their coming out day. They needed this done and Tom was invited to witness.

Most At Risk Populations' Society in Uganda ( MARPS in Uganda) has compiled for you resources to enable you understand bisexuality and its realities. Hope you will enjoy.

"Stupid things straight guys say to bi guys." That and the fact we have provided counselling services to bisexual Ugandans since early 2000's prompted this series.

Bisexuality is not a hard concept to grasp, but you wouldn’t know it based on the litany of stupid and at times downright offensive questions that get thrown the bi community’s way.

In honor of Bi Week (17th September-24th September), we bring you YouTuber La’Ron Readus' hilarious video of what it’s like to be a bisexual man in a heteronormative world.
Questions like, “So does everyone turn you on,” and, “So that means you’re in an open relationship, right?” are just some of those found in the video, and with which bi guys everywhere are all too familiar.

On a topic such as this it’s best to get right to it and dip your toes in…or a douche as it were. Specifically we are referring to the act of anal douching, its reasons, benefits and some good things to know and consider when cleaning the old pipes! It’s also always good to consider hygiene in any anal play whether it is in preparation or if you plan on making anal douching part of the sexual play itself. Since we are jumping right in it should be noted we will be touching on the dreaded subject of fecal matter. Don’t be skeert! It’s why anal douching is important and since its use is specific to one part of the anatomy both males and females have in common that the same rules apply for both sexes. In fact it should be noted that many people believe the same feminine hygienic products used to douche the vagina are good enough to clean the rectum but most of these products are not created to clean the rectum and contain ingredients that can leave the rectum in an unhealthy state (st...
