QUESTION: I'm an 18 year old black girl and I wasn't born in Africa but my parents were. So, I went to Africa last month to visit where my parents were born. The only language I know is English so I didn't understand what most people were saying there but luckily, some people spoke English. Anyways, I saw something really weird on my trip to Africa... I saw some Africans have group sex! And in public! I didn't tell my parents because I would've probably gotten in trouble for spying on people having sex. But I told all my friends. I was alone and spying on an African village to see if the women are really topless. But I saw everyone naked... And having sex! I was watching from behind a tree and I counted 16 men and 16 women on the ground completely naked and each man was having vaginal sex with a woman. I was so shocked! I had no idea that Africans had group sex... And in public! Is what I saw rare or is this a part of African culture? Because if it is... Weird!

ANSWER: First, where in Africa did you see this? I have never heard of something like this. But I haven't seen the whole africa. Sorry that I can't explain more about this issue.

QUESTION: I was in Abuja, Nigeria when I saw this. When I asked my parents about what the village was called, they told me that they don't know but that it's part of a suburb called Karu. You haven't? Well, good... That means that it's probably not a part of African culture or something! I would've been really freaked out if it was! Lol! So, they were probably just 16 horny couples having group sex in public, right? Due to the fact that they were all naked, I don't even know if there's really topless women in Africa or not (I didn't see any). And they shouldn't be doing things like that in public! Unless they're allowed... Do you know if there's any place in Africa where public sex is legal?

Answer
Sorry, I wasn't in Nigeria, so I don't know any of the culture. Maybe they were just horny like some people in the western world. There are numbers of tribes in Africa where the woman are topless(it is part of their culture). I don't think there is any country in Africa where sex is legal in public. Some part of africa is still very conservative. In Zimbabwe they don't tolerate homosexuals. It is against the law, to practise homosexuality. Anyway I think you just saw something 'strange' that could have been anywhere in this world.
