SEVERAL couples attended an event to learn more about improving their tlof tlof moments in their marriages.
The event was held on Saturday, 27 August, at Cape Sun Hotel in Cape Town.
One of the guest speakers was the well-known doctor, Mthembeni Tebelele, who spoke about a fulfilling sex life between couples.
Western Cape Health MEC, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, also attended the event where she spoke about mental health wellness.
The event was organised by the Urban Rural and Capacity Building project, together with its implementing agency Hlahla Consulting, as a way of bringing important knowledge to the people.
Tozama “Sis Toz” Ngcongolo was the programme director of the event.
Dr Tebelele said for couples to enjoy their sex life, they must ensure that their sexual health is in order.
He said people must also take care of their emotional, physical and social wellbeing.
“You need a healthy body to have sex. You cannot have sex when you are sick. You need a healthy mind as well,” said Dr Tebelele.
During the event, he explained to the audience how to make themselves and their partners to enjoy sex.
He talked about both men and women’s bodies.
He explained which areas get aroused in both men and women’s bodies for sexual pleasure.
He told the audience about the spots or areas to touch, which can easily make themselves and their partners reach orgasm.
Reverend Vuyani Buwe, who also spoke during the event, said people must not rush into sex.
“The Bible spoke about Adam and Eve being naked together in chapter 1 (Genesis), but only spoke about them having sex in chapter 4.
“They didn’t rush into it. They waited and took time to know each other first before indulging in sex.
“But nowadays, people have sex on the same day they meet,” he said.
Dr Mbombo said mental health is a serious issue and people should pay attention to it.
She said often, a person who says they are depressed is not given the same attention as a person who has a physical problem.
She said there is a need for mental health education, as some problems end up leading to suicide.
