A Lobi maternity,, of Kilithe Noufé, Burkina Faso, collected in the region of Lorepeni.

Question to the sculptor Kilité Noufé: "Why is the female sculpture so much bigger than the male?"
Kilite's answer: "The woman is more important than the man!"
Question: "Why do women have portable altars (the vessel on top of the figure´s head) instead of the men?"
Kilite: "So that the woman can go anywhere, the man has to go inside the house to perform certain ceremonies.
Another question I asked Killte at the time: "Why do the Lobi perform sexual intercourse while standing from behind?" Klllithe - astonished by my question - smiled: “Well, so that some of the man’s precious juice isn’t lost!” But I could tell from his face that what he was telling me wasn't entirely the truth. One must also distinguish between a sculptural representation and that in the present practice. Like an echo from the past, African sculptures often express what once was. Kilte's story about the preciousness of male sperm, or so it seemed to me not very credible. From an interview in 2011.

Wolfgang Jaenicke and Kilite Noufe discussing about the enclosed couple of the carver, in the background a fetish-altar at the working place of Kilite, 2011 (last photo sequence).

A lso the story that can be found in early reports about the Lobi that the Lobi “doing it like animals” is probably more of a Western projection with a view to the “African savages”. While pondering the real reason for this strange practice - "standing up and from behind" - I came to a theory for which I have no evidence in practical exploration. Is it perhaps possible that in this position the so-called The woman’s “G-spot” is stimulated in a way that which is generally not primarily touched during a “normal sexual act”? As is well known, this point or rather this highly erogenous zone of the woman is on the inside the vagina facing the abdominal wall. If you think about which area the male penis “when standing and If you touch it particularly from behind, you end up exactly in the zone of the female G-spot, which is the woman particularly excited. The fact that a cervical orgasm, in which the penis touches the cervix, also speaks against this is at least as exciting for the woman, if not more so. But in almost all West African ethnic groups there is an immense fear of female menstrual blood And doesn't touching the cervix with the penis cause panic? I heard again and again from both the Bamana and the Lobi that contact with “the woman’s blood” be deadly. Under no circumstances should the man have this “blood with small clots” in his wife come into contact. If it does happen because the woman has hidden from him the fact that she is on her period, then that means great misfortune and you have to go to a fetishist immediately to prevent impending disaster. It is not the carver who decides on the shape of a sculpture, but the fetishist. According to his instructions And a sculpture is not made according to the imagination of a carver. Sculptures at the Lobi are above all Instruments of healing. Perhaps - and please treat my theoretical considerations with indulgence - This figure served to take away a man's fear of a woman because he accidentally got in her blood had come into contact. That's why the woman was depicted as particularly small - contrary to what is usually the case. Seen in this way, the man was freed from his panicked fear by this figure, by the woman once Depicted differently was not bigger and overpowering and with a portable altar on its head as was otherwise the case with the Lobi.
