Dr. Pius Bigirimana’s “Naked Truth” is likely to become Uganda’s fastest selling non-fiction book ever, the publishers have said on Friday.
With only 6 days on market, the book that costs shs 50,000, digs deep into the African sex magic treasurers, has already seen 200 copies off shelves in all book shops in Kampala.
“We are printing more copies this weekend and we will send to the bookshops,” said the publisher.
We have also learnt that enthusiastic readers have been storming Dr. Bigirimana’s office at the Judiciary headquarters in Kampala, scrambling to pay for the few copies he had reserved for friends, relatives, and Judiciary staff.
“The PS had brought only 50copies with him in his office, but they are all finished,” said staff at Judiciary.
There have been concerns by Ugandans in the diaspora on how to access the book.
The publisher said, very soon the book will be on Amazon.
Bigirimana’s book has garnered attention around Uganda, with women and men praising his revelations on how married couples should handle their bedroom affairs.
Bigirimana unveiled the controversial sex education book on Saturday at Mestil Hotel in Kampala while celebrating his wedding anniversary.
In the book, Bigirimana explains that certain changes in modern society have cast the subject of sex in a different light. These changes are technological and socio-anthropological. These affect how sex takes place and how it is viewed.
“The above has, in practice, resulted in the commoditisation of relationships. This commoditisation has been entrenched in the quest for pleasure based on individual preferences,” Bigirimana explains.
Thus, love as a lifelong commitment has been attacked by the promotion of the supremacy of personal pleasure. Simply said, life has been reduced to one statement – “if it does not make you happy, leave it; if it makes you happy, do it!” So, it has become normal to hop from one sex adventure to another.
“The individual owes accountability to his or her pleasure. Therefore, men and women take decisions without putting into mind the effects of their decisions on their children, spouses and the extended family.”
“Sex has not been spared from the above ravages. It is viewed as a game. The reality of sex as a bonding activity that requires deep discipline rooted in trust, commitment, respect and care is easily lost. The ironical outcome is that of people having more sex but becoming increasingly unhappy.”
Bigirimana uses the context of marriage as the most appropriate for understanding the meaning and technique of sex to maintain its original purpose and freshness.
