“I’m Attracted To Dead People”: Zimbabwean heterosexual man seeks serious help
Umjolo is a jungle. Luckily, Bra Binzy has the map
Bra Binzy, I don’t know how to put this. I’m a 23-year-old heterosexual man. Whenever I go to funerals, during body viewing I get aroused when I see the body in the coffin. It happens whether the dead person is male or female. Am I possessed by evil spirits? How can I end this?
— Richard, Sandton, South Africa
Bra Binzy Responds:
Richard… my guy! Let’s be real: what you’re describing is necrophilia territory — a serious psychological issue, not just “strange wiring.” Truth bomb: funerals are for mourning, not morning and corpses are not your crush.
You need professional help, mfowethu, before curiosity turns into a full-blown scandal or danger to yourself. Therapy isn’t shame — it’s survival.
Stop putting yourself in these situations. No coffin, no corpse, no temptation. And while you’re at it, work on your impulse control and attraction radar.
One day soon, you can channel your energy into relationships with living humans who can actually say yes.
“Bruh, respect the dead, fix your mind, or people will think you’re auditioning for horror plus adult films. This is serious, get help before it becomes headline news.”
Double trouble love cross-border
Bra Binzy, I’m madly in love with two women I want to marry.
One lives in Zambia, the other in DRC. I live with each when I visit. I can’t choose but want to settle down this year.
What do I do?
— Confused truck driver’
Bra Binzy Responds:
Eish mfowethu! You’re not in love, you’re in international traffic jam with your emotions. Truth bomb: two women, one heart, zero honesty is disaster waiting to explode. Pick one, tell the truth, and stop playing cross-border romance roulette.
“Bruh, don’t turn love into an import-export problem. Honesty is your only passport out of this mess.”
Ex-drama alert: hidden texts and heartbreak
Bra Binzy, I’ve been dating my boyfriend for two years. Recently, I discovered he’s secretly texting his ex-girlfriend daily. He hides his phone and says it’s “just friendly.” I love him but feel betrayed. Should I confront him or quietly leave?
— Heartbroken, Harare
Bra Binzy Responds:
Sisi, listen up! Your boyfriend isn’t just texting for recipes — he’s playing with fire while keeping you on the sidelines. Truth bomb: if he hides his phone, he’s hiding his loyalty. Confront him or exit stage left. Your love deserves honesty, not sneaky side quests.
“Bruh, don’t compete with a ghost of his past. Either he’s yours fully or he’s gone. Simple math, complicated heartbreak.”
SWEAT, STINK AND LOVE:
NERVOUSNESS CRISIS
Bra Binzy, I have this problem that has destroyed my self-esteem. I’m a draughtsman. When I get nervous I sweat profusely and stink. I’ve tried soaps and colognes, but it isn’t helping. My feet smell, my armpits are hell, and I can’t find love. Recently, I saw a girl I’m extremely attracted to, but I’m terrified to even go near her. How do I stop this embarrassing issue and smell nice like normal people?
Bra Binzy Responds:
Mfowethu… first of all, you are not cursed, you are human with overactive sweat glands — and nerves that hit like a fire alarm. Truth bomb: the problem isn’t love, it’s control.
You gotta control the sweat before you can control your confidence.
Step one: strong antiperspirants, not just deodorant. Step two: moisture-wicking clothes and socks. Step three: consult a doctor about hyperhidrosis if it’s extreme.
Step four: work on your nerves — deep breathing, low-pressure practice with women, and small confidence wins.
Hot tip? Don’t hide — fight the sweat AND your fear.
Women notice confidence first, fragrance second. One day soon, your crush won’t see a stinky mess — she’ll see a man taking charge.
“Bruh, you are not broken. You’re just a walking sauna with potential. Control the heat, and the love will follow.”
BRA BINZY’S FINAL TRUTH:
Life will throw wild, messy and sometimes disturbing relationship problems your way.
You don’t have to say yes.
