How it works..

Well, I didn’t need to have been so coy because Saadou ( right above) and Ousman were not in the slightest bit embarrassed to talk about these things but took it quite in their stride. I found out that the aim of the maraboutage concerning sexual potency is to make a man able to perform frequently.
It is a question of quantity: if a man has four wives he is supposed to give them all equal sexual attention, as well as treating them equally in every other way.  
 And according to Ousman and Saadou there is no excuse even later in life: if a man takes a new young wife, that doesn’t mean that he is allowed to drop his attentions for the older one, on the contrary she is not likely to be forgiving in that respect- this is all according to Ousman and Saadou who only have one wife each. One can perhaps understand why- it all sounds a bit hectic...
