Abstract
<p>Sexuality in Nigeria has over the years been marred by several issues ranging from illiteracy, religious beliefs to socio-cultural norm. Consequently, women of all ages and almost all social strata have lived with the dangers of health hazards, social injustice and painfully death. That is not to say that sexual problems occur exclusively within the female category; it is safe to state that women are at the receiving end of some of the health and social consequences of sexually related challenges and thus, women are the focus group for this paper. Women in Africa appear chained as far as their sexuality is concerned and need a broad spectrum strategy to find lasting solutions within the context of post-colonial Nigeria. This paper intends to look at sex and sexuality from the health humanities angle. Health humanities as an emerging discipline attempts to look at areas of convergence between health and humanities. Therefore this paper will attempt to look at ways through which film has aided health promotion and awareness with regard to sexuality. The theoretical frame work for this study is perception theory and post colonial theory.</p>
