All bark and no bite: Why there is less action in Kenyan bedrooms Is there a remedy [Photo: Courtesy] A top foreign photographer who has lived in Kenya since the 60s says when he came to Kenya, folks were so conservative that nobody talked about sex, yet they were banging away like rabbits. “These days,” he quips, “people go on and on about sex, yet they aren’t having any!” The old mzungu could be onto something. The amount of sex talk swirling around online, phone messages and WhatsApp chats is dizzying. But if you speak candidly with Kenyans, you realise there isn’t much going on in the sack. In fact, it is an open secret that many people, both single and married, bravely endure long periods of dry spells.
