Read the opening

From chapter 1, "The Jollof Chef's Diagnosis". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Thursday, 9:15pm. The Car Park Sessions. Femi arrives without a cooler of jollof for the first time. Everyone notices.

"No jollof tonight?" asked Dapo, genuinely hurt.

Femi sat down. "No jollof tonight. I have news." He looked at the whiteboard, where FOREPLAY IS PARTY JOLLOF was still faintly visible. "A few months ago, my erections started getting weaker. I was embarrassed. I ignored it. Then Ronke made me go to the doctor. He did blood tests. My blood sugar was very high." He paused. "Type 2 diabetes."

The car park was silent.

"I taste food all day at work," Femi said. "Rice, stews, sweet drinks, puff-puff. I did not exercise. My father had diabetes. I should have known." He looked up. "But the doctor said something that stuck with me. He said, 'Your erections told you before anything else did. Your penis is your early warning system.'"
