Condoms, umbrellas and urban myths?
The Do you realize? blog has a sex education tale from rural Rwanda, but is it an urban myth. I’m guessing not…
“Another gem from Jean D’Arc, who has terrific stories about rural Rwandan culture and superstitions. She is somewhat unusual for Rwandan woman – she talks about sex. As a nurse, I suppose it comes with the territory.
As part of her job, Jean D’arc advises couples on family planning, including condom use. Sometimes she demonstrates how to unroll a condom (think the banana in health class).
One day, a man she had counseled came to her, confused and upset:
“Jean D’Arc,” he said, “I followed your instructions exactly for using the condom, but my wife still got pregnant!”
“Tell me what happened,” she asked.
“I did it just like you showed me. Before I made love to my wife, I put the condom on my umbrella.”
