Grace Njekwa, of the Alangazi National Association of Zambia, said sexually satisfied men were less likely to stray from the marital bed.
Njekwa also claimed that the rate of infection among married couples would be reduced if underwent initiation ceremonies that included lessons on satisfying husbands' sexual and domestic needs.
Most married men left marital home because their wives had not undergone traditional initiation, said Njekwa, displaying strings of beads which she said played a vital role in marital sex.
Njekwa, who is a trustee of Alangazi, which was formed by women traditionalists who teach men and women how to live in society, said marital problems occurred after husbands started discussing with their colleagues the kind of "service" they were getting at home.
