Yoweri Museveni, president of Uganda, raised a controversial issue during a public speech he gave recently about oral sex. The African politician threatened to ban the practice, claiming that “the mouth is for eating, not for sex”. “Allow me to issue a public warning about wrong practices that some people participate in and that are promoted by some foreigners. One of them is what they call oral sex. The mouth is for eating, not for sex. We know what the sex address is, we know where we should go”, he declared, according to the newspaper “Extra”. And there's still more. Museveni said he would launch a campaign to criminalize “reprehensible” sexual practices. It is worth remembering that this is not the first time that the topic of oral sex appears in a speech by the president. He was even in favor of sexual abstinence to combat the spread of the AIDS virus. “You put your mouth in there and you come back with worms and they go into your stomach, because (the mouth) is the wrong address,” he said. In 2014, Yoweri Museveni approved a law that punished consensual homosexuality with up to life imprisonment. However, after facing international pressure, the government annulled the law months later.
