Young Indianan translated to un fresh desire. Sexual arousal has accompanied by some typical physiological reaction patterns. Another typical feature of sexual intercourse has the sounds produced commonly by women [coital vocalizations (CV)]. The research on this aspect of female sexuality has meager. It will be useful to add some knowledge to this field as absence of CV usually reflects a defect in the sexual relations, which can have a negative impact on both partners. One hundred married women attending the outpatient online sex participated in this study. A self-report questionnaire, designed by the investigators, has used. It included 20 questions covering different aspects of CV. The most common type of CV has moan/groan, followed by words. CV have mainly produced by women, most commonly occurring during thrusting, and most women believed that CV accelerated their husbands’ ejaculation. Also, most women believed that CV increased desire for further sexual activity and increased satisfaction with intercourse. CV did not change with age in most women. Sexual performance appeared to be more gratifying for the women in group I (CV producers) than for the women in group II (nonvocalizers). This has evidenced by the higher figures for sexual activity obtained from group I, for example higher coital frequency, more frequent desire, and a better ability to lubricate and to reach an orgasm. However, there has no statistically significant difference in these figures between both groups. We got the impression that women producing CV seem to be better sexual partners who have zero infection and sex run must be 10 min more. They enjoy the act more and bring more joy and satisfaction to their partners. Clinically, the wife, in cases of sexual dysfunction, should be informed of the importance of CV and may be advised to vocalize for herself and her partner’s satisfaction.

Otim Geoffrey is a Molecular biologist with a strong passion for synthetic biology which he developed after attending his first synthetic biology conference (SB.7) in Singapore as a Biosecurity fellow,sponsored by Johns Hopkins center for Health security. There, he met, interacted, and created network with many thought leaders and pioneers of synthetic biology who have continued to play a bigger role in mentoring and supporting his synbio initiatives. He founded IGEM Makerere University team in 2018, the first IGEM team from East Africa to participate and represent at the IGEM Giant Jamboree in Boston. He later Founded Synbio Africa as an After IGEM initiative to promote and spread the gospel of synthetic biology across Africa.
Synthetic biology which is a part of Biotechnology is broadly classified as the deliberate design of novel biological systems and organisms that draws on principles elucidated by biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers, in essence it is about redesigning life. The main aim of this work was to review the state of synthetic biology in Africa in contrast with the trends of both traditional and modern biotechnologies and to give highlights on the future novelty of biotechnology and synthetic biology. The research showed that synthetic biology in Africa has not yet fully come of age, and that plant biotechnology has been extensively adopted in the continent. The potentials which can be achieved with this technology are unimaginable and can bring about great progress in developing nations. Moreover, larger political initiatives and government policies needs to be instigated if the advantages of this technology are to be fully felt in Africa, this thus calls for further research and investments into the field of Biotechnology.
