I was really looking forward to this book based on its title and description. But I did not really get what I was looking for.

"The Sex Lives of African Women" sounds to me like a book that should have a lot of stories of women and in the best case other non cis-men on the African continent. I would have loved to read about "average" stories and non-average stories a like. The sex lives of African women are indeed something that would be extremley empowering to read about. I think.

Instead this book was to the largest part about women in the African diaspora abroad, or women who can afford to travel accross the African continent. Many of the women are queer or poly.
I am not saying that these stories weren't incredible! I actually really enjoyed reading of well-traveled, educated, and wise women and their sexual choices or lack thereof. It was also interesting to learn how the life in the African diaspora is like. And how queerness and open relationship as an African (Diaspora) women is like.

So a great book, just not what I signed up for.
