Stanley Ngara, widely known as the “King of Condoms,” has addressed common misconceptions about sexual performance, stating that the average time a man should last in bed is between 7 to 10 minutes.
He emphasized that unrealistic expectations often lead to unnecessary pressure and anxiety among men.
“Based on my 30 years experience of working with sex workers and even worldwide, if they were to take all men in a stadium each with their own partner and a whistle was blown for all of us to start, most men will finish within 7 minutes. So this issue of 30 minutes, 1 hour is just a story,” Stanley said.
“The average man goes for 7 to 10 minutes, if you go for three minutes that’s where we have a problem with you, come for counselling we help you. This thing of people taking blue tablets, some even dying should stop.
“We need to have safer sex, you enjoy and make your partner happy,” Stanley added.
By normalizing these discussions, he hopes to promote confidence and healthy sexual relationships.
His journey into activism was not by chance but a personal calling fueled by painful experiences and a passion for saving lives.
Speaking during an interview with Dr. Ofweneke on TV47, Ngara shared insights into his work, personal struggles, and the origins of his unconventional title.
A dream of joining the army that took a different path
Ngara revealed that, growing up, he always dreamt of joining the military.
“By the year 1994 I wanted to be a military guy, I joined the army as a boxer, then I joined the training but I didn’t enroll, I don’t know what happened but I lost that chance,” Stanley stated.
However, circumstances did not allow him to enroll. Rather than letting go of his dream entirely, he decided to create his own version of an “army attire.”
” That dream of being an army is still alive till date, so I created my own attire,” he added.
Today, he is easily recognizable in his camouflage-inspired outfits, which symbolize his fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS.
A personal tragedy that sparked his mission
His decision to distribute condoms was not a random act but one driven by personal loss.
Ngara painfully recalled losing many friends, both male and female, to HIV/AIDS.
“I lost a lot of friends both male and female, so I decided to start giving them condoms,” Stanley said.
The devastating impact of these losses fueled his determination to educate people on the importance of protection.
He became a vocal advocate, using creative and engaging ways to spread awareness.
How he became the ‘King of Condoms’
In 2012, Ngara’s efforts earned him the nickname “King of Condoms” during a visit to Kenyatta University.
” In 2012, when I visited Kenyatta University, Sleepy and others gave me the crown ” King Of Condoms ” and that’s how it was,” Stanley explained.
According to him, comedian Sleepy David and a few others gave him the title after witnessing his dedication to distributing condoms and educating students about safe sex.
What started as a casual nickname soon became his brand identity, and he fully embraced it.
An expert in sex education
Beyond distributing condoms, Ngara has positioned himself as a sex education expert.
During the interview with Dr Ofweneke, he claimed to have a library filled with books on the subject.
He further stated that he is knowledgeable about 365 different sex positions—one for each day of the year.
” I know 365 sex positions. The way we train farmers in agriculture, we advise them to use certain fertilisers, we need to learn about sex.
“It should not be a surprise, Africa we don’t teach about sex, I have a whole library filled with books on sex,” Stanley said.
His vast knowledge, he said, allows him to educate couples on maintaining a healthy and satisfying sex life while prioritizing safety.
A lifelong commitment to Public Health
Through his work, Stanley Ngara has become an influential figure in sexual health advocacy.
His unique approach blending humor, education, and activism, has made conversations about safe sex more accessible and less stigmatized.
Whether distributing condoms on the streets or engaging audiences on TV, the King of Condoms continues to fight for a healthier and more informed society.
