Should I Marry?
Dear Uncle Charles,
I am an African male approaching the age at which life begins (40). Despite the fact that a number of my mates are married, ever since I came to London I have had no real desire to follow suit, at least not yet. Is this normal? My friends think there is something wrong with me? What should I do? I have had the odd relationship here and there.
Oral Sex And HIV Risk
Dear Uncle Charles,
I gave oral sex to a guy that lasted a few minutes. Did I just put myself at risk of getting HIV?

Honey
Dear Uncle Charles
The other day I came across a Ugandan newspaper report abouta woman who was caught sittingon top of a smoking pot of honey as she waited to have sex with a married cabinet minister. When I asked about the ritual, a friend explained that it was a fairly common practice in certain parts of Uganda and Sudan. Apparently, the women believe that by sitting on top of a pot of burning honey or incense, they will make sex more enjoyable for their male partner. I am amazed that this sort of thing could be going on. Aren’t there any sexual risks involved, and do you know whether it is practised by some Africans who live in the UK?
