  • Sexuality, Gender, and Spiritual Interventions

    Daniel Y FiavehARTICLEJournal of Africana Religions2025

    The intersection between spirituality and sexuality remains political across the world. This review, engages with the unique ethnographic work of Nathaniel Homewood’s Seductive Spirits, highlighting ways in which sexuality is spiritualized in Ghana and also expanding the arguments beyond what we know about Pentecostal Christianity and African sexuality

  • Scoping review of discourses on masturbation in Africa

    Daniel Y FiavehARTICLEJournal of Gender Studies2024Referências: 12

    Masturbation – self-sexual stimulation of the genitalia – literature is underdeveloped, especially in terms of non-Western samples. More importantly, there remains very little or no research about how masturbation as a sexual practice contributes to understanding the gender dynamics of sexual choices in Africa. Using the African feminist resistance framework of 'radical rudeness', developed by the Ugandan feminist Stella Nyanzi, this paper, throu…

  • Femininity, Sexual Positions and Choice

    Open AccessDaniel Y Fiaveh, Michael Pk OkyerefoARTICLESexualities2019

    While women present themselves and their sexuality through dress and their deportment, there are areas of their sexual lives that are not so public and are less easy to research, such as intimate sexual relations. In this study, the authors report findings from interviews with men and women about a topic not often reported on – choice of sexual positions. The focus on sexual positions raises questions about sexual agency – who chooses, what do th…

  • Phallocentricism, female penile choices, and the use of sex toys in Ghana

    Open AccessDaniel Y FiavehARTICLESexualities2019

    Although the penis forms an important aspect of sexual practices, we know little about how women and men construct the penis in relation to sex and gender in Africa. In this exploratory study from urban Ghana with 34 interviewees, I argue that the changing notions of sex and the penis, in terms of the form they take and in terms of ownership, offer women and men the space to negotiate sexual scripts and to highlight women’s penile preferences. Th…

    Open AccessDaniel Y FiavehARTICLEThe Journal of Men s Studies2019Citada por: 4Referências: 5

    Indigenous peoples’ knowledge of and expertise in herbal remedies is not new. Although studies have emphasized use of herbal medicine in Africa, it remains unclear how gender impacts the uptake of herbal remedies as aphrodisiac-therapeutic types. Using qualitative data from urban Ghana, this article examines how cultural expectations of male sexuality in intimate heterosexual relationships influence the marketing and patronage of local aphrodisia…

  • Constructions of masculinity and femininity and sexual risk negotiation practices among women in urban Ghana

    Daniel Y Fiaveh, Chimaraoke Izugbara et al.ARTICLECulture Health & Sexuality2015

    Using qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews with women in Accra, Ghana, this paper explores narratives of masculinity and femininity and sexual risk negotiation practices among women. While women framed 'proper' masculinity in terms of stereotypical reproductive norms, they also acknowledged the fluidity and multiplicity of masculinities. Femininity was more uniformly characterised in terms of physical attractiveness and beauty, r…
