African Sexual Technique Triggering Female Ejaculation:

Kunyaza, Kachabali and Gukuna Sexual Practices


Black History Month at Pembroke House, Cambridge University
Date: 20 October 2018 Time: 5pm to 7:15pm
Panel Presentation by: Habeeb Akande

Kunyaza is an age-old African sexual technique triggering female ejaculation and orgasms in
women during heterosexual encounters.

The kunyaza sexual practice is from Rwanda, east Africa, but is also practised in Uganda and
Kenya where it is known as kachabali

Up to 80% of women in Rwanda experience female ejaculation, also known as ‘squirting’ or


‘gushing.’ 10% to 54% of women in the West report experiencing ejaculation.

Some western studies say female ejaculation does not exist, African sex educators say it does
exist.

There is a lack of studies on the kunyaza technique which has been practised for over 150 years,
some say since the 16th century.

The kunyaza technique involves the stimulation of the internal and external clitoris, known as the
K-Spot, and labia with the penis head to elicit gushing orgasmic expulsions.

Kunyaza stimulation is either non-penetrative (tapping, rubbing and tapping) or penetrative (slow
deep thrusting).

The male partner manually stimulates the female genitalia in a horizonal, vertical, circular and / or
zigzagging motion.

Labia elongation (gukuna) usually accompanies kunyaza / kachabali in east and central Africa.

Women are encouraged from a young age to regularly stretch their labia to enhance sexual
pleasure and facilitate ejaculation during foreplay and penetrative intercourse.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies labia elongation as a form of female genital
modification, after it was previously classified as a form of female genital mutilation (FGM).

Research finds only 25% of women regularly experience orgasm during penetrative intercourse.
On average women require at least 20 minutes of clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm.

“In Rwanda, people know more about female orgasm than any other country in the world,” says
Swiss journalist, Barbara Achermann.

“Kunyaza is the easiest and most effective technique for female ejaculation,” says American sexual
health educator, Angelica Lindsey-Ali.

Western female sexuality studies tend to marginalise African studies and African women
narratives.

Kunyaza is an effective treatment for female orgasmic dysfunction, according to Dr Nsekuye


Bizimana’s study.

The ancient African technique is attracting worldwide interest and has been subject to a few
independent documentaries.

Panel Discussion Topics

“The panelists, with regular contributions from the audience, discussed the purpose of black history
month, the role of history and legacy in creating a sense of belonging, and the necessity of
recognising the plurality of black people’s experiences within the UK alone, let alone
internationally. There were questions on the commercialization of race, the use of archives to tell
stories about BME histories, and whether feminism is compatible with Islam. Throughout the
discussion there was a strong emphasis on the importance of centering black people’s
experiences, amplifying their voices, and listening to their personal stories.”1
