Since the offset of industrialization and intensified urbanization in the 19th century, consumer cultures have developed as a feature of modern societies. In earlier epochs, however, different forms of consumer cultures existed already. Even if consumer cultures are transnational phenomena, we can find different forms “nationalized” by a given society. Consumption in Eastern Europe is often associated with shortage and queuing, but even during socialism consumer cultures have developed as recent studies show.

Sex jokes do more than convey the lewd: they are laced with matrices of gender (or gendering caprices), praxis of histo-cultural implications and varied shades of life experiences of the milieu of its emergence, whether traditional or modern. Traditional Africa has always viewed sex humour, roughly conceptualized here as ‘sex jokes’ as earthy and filthy. However, in some parts, the lid of closure (so treated because it is dark) could be removed during special festival periods, when men, women and young adults or even children could crack tabooed jokes.
