Attitude of literate married men towards the use of aphrodisiac herbs in Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria
Abstract
Background: Sexual dysfunction among men is on the increase in Nigerian societies; however, many do not seek health care; and may prefer using aphrodisiac herbs.
Objectives: We investigated the attitude of literate married men towards the use of aphrodisiac herbs in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. We also examined whether there would be a significant difference in the attitude of literate married men towards the use of aphrodisiac herbs based on age and educational attainment.
Methods: Descriptive survey method was adopted for the study. A total of 200 literate married men were selected through simple random and purposive sampling. The participants responded to a researcher-designed questionnaire. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 alpha level.
Results: The attitude of literate married men was positive. There were significant differences in the attitude of literate married men towards the use of aphrodisiac herbs in Ilorin, Kwara State based on age and educational attainment.
Conclusions: Most literate married men in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria had a positive attitude towards the use of aphrodisiac herbs. Doctors and counsellors should organise community-based talk to orientate literate married men on the use of aphrodisiac herbs.
Keywords: Attitude; Literate Married Men; Aphrodisiac Herbs; Nigeria.
