The Story of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases

When a bee moves from flower to flower in search of nectar, little does it know that it is carrying out an important biological process of ¿pollination¿. This allows the reproduction of the plant species. In like manner when a man in search of erotic satisfaction, or in an attempt to ¿multiply and replenish the earth¿, engages in sexual intercourse, he may be acquiring some microbes which he can transfer to his sexual partners and which may endanger his life. Africans place a lot of premium on childbearing. This culture is entrenched in polygamy, which is not novel to our traditional practices. Polygamy, had been practiced before the advent of Islam, and Christianity has minimized it to a great extent in areas where it is practiced. Whether in monogamous or polygamous homes, childbearing is of the utmost importance in society. The microbes that are sexually transmitted cause many cases of male infertility and female reproductive failure. The sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) could also cause discomfort, deformities, disabilities, psychological and emotional problems, marital tension and other social problems.
