Abstract
Abstract:Osunality or African eroticism and sensuality provides a useful counter-hegemonic framework that does not perpetuate phallocentric notions of pleasure. Osunality can increases awareness of the effects of epistemological violence often perpetuated in sex therapy training and westernized sex educational programs pertaining to pleasure. Osunality places emphasis on pleasure and fulfillment rather than orgasm. Subjective erotic fulfillment does not have to be limited to stimuli of the genitalia.
