[Almaz Ohene] So, this evening is an opportunity to showcase the different ways we can show sexuality, bodies and desires on camera, without having to be really explicit.

[Almaz Ohene] I’ve always written raunchy stories, then I was thinking, ‘Oh, well, how about we actually take a theme from one of the stories, and have an expert talk about the sexual health issues’.

[Yomi Adegoke] How strange, I thought, that in this wall-to-wall white club, I’d been told I was the prettiest girl. But with an asterix, given a compliment that came with a prefix.
