Sex sells. That has got to be one of the most tried and tested concept in mass media circles. But ironically, a lot of effort is also directed towards maintaining acceptable decency or modesty levels in society, apparently to protect the public from getting too much of what they crave for.
In comes a daring television show, co-hosted by Getrude Mungai, which seemingly is succeeding in bringing down the remaining bastions of television taboo.
The interest generated by the K24 show has generally been quite healthy, and once one gets past the initial shock of hearing 'bedroom matters' being discussed openly and unabashedly, one begins to appreciate indeed, there is a pertinent need being addressed.
But predictably, this boldness in highlighting sexuality issues is raising morality and ethical concerns that in the end lead to that eternal question: just how much is too much?

they are going too far coz i tend to believe that every person have there awy of doing things and the fact that its hired b4 even some kids retire to bed its so frustrating.let them look for other ways passing the same bt not on the TV during that time.
theres nothing wrong with mrs mungai! if ur 3yrs boy/gal aint asleep by 10pm, then u as a parent gotta prob
If u don't like the proggy u have so many options rather than condemning the show.there is UTV where u can watch the Helicopter church sermon, there is a while range of stations on DSTV or better still u can chuck out n go clubbin. wacha sisi tuendelee kuelimishwa.
when we describe sex as a the glue that sticks a relationship, a marriage then why not forget about the whole superstitious names we give it and learn how better it as a tool to our sexual health, its not like we are going to keep mun when our relationships go to the dogs when the problem really is sex or revolves around sex, one would say that it gets boring, it was not meant to get boring why would k24 gives it a rather wholesome and healthy approach the type that we can easily relate with...its better that way to cure it before it gets as bad as looking for alternatives, these 'mpango wa kando' campaign drives are just but one of the approaches in responsible living but it doesnt really address the issue... faithfulness i bet wont help a discontented and communicationless union. its not like the ones we hear in the morning shows in the city where we take our time to air our dirty linen and go on loughing about it like it is supposed to be funny without giving any kind of solutions and its not like we are not wactching pornography we aint jus talking about it so why not give this a chance??
i never miss a show people tend to be hypo critic whereas in their closets they have all manner of DVDs
Hio ni kazi ya huyo mama so she has to do her best in talking, the person who can tell us the whole truth ni bwana yake, TOSHA.
as much as the show has aesthetic value in it ,there has got be limits considering that too much of anything is poisonous
Anyone who thinks Kenya is not ready for such TV shows is dreamy and living in the past! This is 2011 and if you think we are copying things from the west...then you had better strip naked, loose your clothes and put on some skin/leaves!
It's a productive health show that's really good. People who think Kenya is not ready perhaps still suffer from what our parents taught us..."sex is immoral and its not a good thing to be proud of, don't talk about it, don't say anything about, do it in darkness and never discuss it, be ashamed if people know you did it...shhhhhh!
Those days are long gone..sexuality is something to be appreciated. That's the only way we can begin to teach our kids about it. This hash hash culture and attitude is useless! That's why our young girls are raped by uncles and fathers and we keep it silent! And the young ones grow up knowing nothing about their sexuality. When that time in teenagehood comes, we are lost for words. Then they get pregnant and become teen dads and moms, get AIDS etc and we blame the media!!!! Connect rocks!
...what the hell with the guys condemning tha all show..till wen wil we liberate ourselvs..tha show iz tha bomb n by any chance if u ve babys watching ..itz ur responsibility to let them to bed...K24 is changing how our the so called mother media houses have never thought of doing...kudos to k24
av not watched even a single episode and i think av missed out on a lot...am so waiting for next Saturday...that is tomorrow. we should stop pretending and appreciate wen someone takes the initiative of helping Kenyans understand sexuality coz its very important for our relationships... n for those who are bothered u can watch Aljazeera! cant wait for kesho...
I like the show too.it's very interesting especially when am watching it with my hubby.Mrs Mungai keep it up.
i have a question which is disturbing me so much , there is this lady who is very much close to me every time even when people ask her she claim that she is mine, we spend the days together,in the eve i escort her to her place, support her financially, but the problem started when i confronted her and demanded the truth from her if she is really in love with me, since then now is one week i have not seen her nor hear about her, she even unfriended me from her facebook account. was she taking me for aride, pliz advice.
of course you were being taken for a ride. for revenge look for a fly chick even just a friend and floss with her. make her jealous till she wants to cry.
I love the show. It enlightens us on our bedroom matters. You can deny it but am sure you learn something from Mrs Mungai. Sometimes (note i say sometimes)we drive our spouses to "mpango wa kando" just because we dont know how to improve during mbs raha leaving the other party unsatisfied. This can be very frustrating and if no improvement.......I just hope we are learning and making mbs raha an enjoyable activity and not a chore.
Kundos Mrs Mungai!!!!
I love the show very much. very educative especially to the young couples. Its an eye opener to upcoming modern Kenyans. I would urge couples to listen keenly snd surely you will benefit from the program. from Thanks Mrs, Mungai.
Am an avid viewer n listener 2this show n boy am i grateful fot this show.i always watch it with my dear hubby n its helped us keep the fire burning n we lyk trying out the new things we learn from her.if u value u n ur spouses happiness n satisfaction in bed then ur better off watchin this program.

People who want to hide their heads in the sand and pretend that our relationships in bed are super will always say that the show is bogus.Ask yourself why so many of our men will run to K street to those "professionals". It is because they have perfected the art of Mbsa Raha.Keep preaching Mrs Mungai.The best things are never for free.
