dc.description.abstract | Sexualization of the woman’s body has for years been used to promote the
practice of female circumcision in practicing communities. In this study, we
provide an insight into the constructive psychosexual experiences of uncir-
cumcised Pokot women in Eastern Uganda. This phenomenological study
was based on thirty-five In-depth interviews with uncircumcised women.
A thematic analysis revealed six constructive psychosexual experiences;
less exposure to early marriages, fewer complications during menstrual
periods, amplified sexual pleasure, ease to reach orgasms, less exposure to
sexually transmitted infections, and good reception by men from non-female
circumcision communities. These experiences provide grounds for public
health campaigns against female circumcision and fighting stigmatization
of uncircumcised women. | en_US |
