dc.descriptionReflecting the growing openness and realism regarding sex and sexuality in African church settings, in chapter 8 Canisius Mwandayi focuses on masturbation. Cognizant of the tendency to criticize masturbation by men on the basis of the biblical account that describes Onan’s fate (Gen. 38:1-10), Mwandayi engages in an analysis of this specific passage. He proposes that it must be read within its own historical and cultural context. He also discusses masturbation by men and women within the Shona cultural context of Zimbabwe and describes different attitudes toward the phenomenon. In conclusion, Mwandayi encourages churches in Africa to facilitate more open discussions on sexuality.en_US
