Circumcision -modern-day barbarity “I might as well have sex for money"

I have gotten so many emails this week and one of them was the ‘circumcision’ topic, I once wrote on facebook last year.  After this account, I received many calls and emails from people who were shocked about this "modern-day barbarity" but grateful that I could highlight a sensitive issue often spoken about in hushed tones in Nigeria - female genital mutilation. 
Xpressurselfshow readers have requested I post it on my blog, that it seems this issue is still on  and probably when people see more of it talked about it might put an end to this barbaric act:

One of the lady who I interviewed during my research on female ccircumcision here in Lagos last year( her identity concealed). Without displaying a tinge of emotion, she declared that she became a prostitute as a result of the circumcision. She had been forcibly and crudely circumcised at the age of 8 and now at 28, she was still haunted by the harrowing memory of that event.  Her scars were both physical and emotional. Her abdomen was as hard as a rock as a result of the circumcision,  (which was confirmed different doctors) and she had developed a voracious sexual appetite. She also had never had organism nor had she ever felt loved. “I might as well have sex for money", she stated in a flat voice, "since I don't get any sexual satisfaction from it.

This might sound weird to some people, but it is a reality to some women who went through this ordeal in their early age when they were so little and helpless, an ordeal which they never imagined that would hurt and hunt them for the rest of their lives.

As at two months ago, the last time I heard from this lady(circumcised woman), she has found the love of her life who happens to be a doctor and they are planning to get married at the end of this year, though she is still receiving counseling which ends in the next six months, I could literally feel the joy in her voice when she called.

……………Mmmm! I truly wish her all the best life has to offer. 

With the help of other bloggers, ’circumcision’ the more it is being talked about on social media; I truly hope these horrendous act will come to an end soonest.

 Just in case you know of any woman who is emotionally wrecked because of this, please do show her some love instead of judging her.....the love might help her to be a better person tomorrow.
