Porn video shows local brew and transactional sex: HIV risk among youth in Kisumu Kenya - Erasmus University Rotterdam
Background: Kisumu has shown a rising HIV prevalence over the past sentinel surveillance surveys, and most new infections are occurring among youth. We conducted a qualitative study to explore risk situations that can explain the high HIV prevalence among youth in Kisumu town, Kenya Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with 150 adolescents aged 15 to 20, held 4 focus group discussions, and made 48 observations at places where youth spend their free time. Results: Porn video shows and local brew dens were identified as popular events where unprotected multipartner, concurrent, coerced and transactional sex occurs between adolescents. Video halls - rooms with a TV and VCR often show pornography at night for a very small fee, and minors are allowed. Forced sex, gang rape and multiple concurrent relationships characterised the sexual encounters of youth, frequently facilitated by the abuse of alcohol, which is available for minors at low cost in local brew dens. For many sexually active girls, their vulnerability to STI/HIV infection is enhanced due to financial inequality, gender-related power difference and cultural norms. The desire for love and sexual pleasure also contributed to their multiple concurrent partnerships. A substantial number of girls and young women engaged in transactional sex, often with much older working partners. These partners had a stronger socio-economic position than young women, enabling them to use money/gifts as leverage for sex. Condom use was irregular during all types of sexual encounters. Conclusions: In Kisumu, local brew dens and porn video halls facilitate risky sexual encounters between youth. These places should be regulated and monitored by the government. Our study strongly points to female vulnerabilities and the role of men in perpetuating the local epidemic. Young men should be targeted in prevention activities, to change their attitudes related to power and control in relationships. Girls should be empowered how to negotiate safe sex, and their poverty should be addressed through income-generating activities.

FAQ
Can She Go Again After Climax? Secrets Revealed
Many people wonder whether a girl can keep going after finishing, and the answer is often yes. Research from the Kinsey Institute shows that about 43% of women can experience multiple orgasms, meaning they don’t always need a long break afterward. This happens because women usually have a shorter or even nonexistent refractory period compared to men, allowing them to remain sensitive and responsive for longer. Of course, not every woman feels the same way.
How many times did a woman climax?
Some people can experience multiple orgasms. Anecdotal evidence suggests those assigned female at birth can achieve as many as 20 orgasms in a row during sex. According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, most females can achieve multiple orgasms, but estimates of the number who do vary.

GIF Slang Decoded: Reaction Magic Revealed
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, a type of file for short, looping animations that pack a punch without sound. In slang, folks just call these clips “GIFs” to share quick reactions—like a thumbs-up GIF for “yes!” or a facepalm for “oops.” It’s not a new acronym; it’s the same tech term turned everyday lingo on apps like WhatsApp and TikTok.plannthat+1 Think of GIFs as your phone’s shortcut to feelings. Drop a dancing baby Yoda for excitement, or a “surprised Pikachu” face when life’s plot twists.
