Actress Olayode Juliana, popular for her role as Toyo Baby in Funke Akindele’s “Jenifa’s Diary” has spoken against intimacy before marriage.
In a new interview on The Nation, she said pre-marital s*x will lead to cheating because when the couple eventually get married, they start comparing the sexual prowess of their partners to others.
Read excerpts of her interview below:
Do you believe that se.x before marriage makes relationships more complicated?
Yes I do. s*x before marriage makes relationship more complicated. Some ladies date more than five men before marriage and sleep with all of them because they see it as a norm or a way to prove their love against God’s standard. I personally believe that there is a lot to se.x than the pleasure it gives. It makes you become one with the person. It ties you with the person, such that when you marry you compare your previous s*xual life with your present and the memories of how you did it with the other person won’t leave you, expecting more from your husband or wife, forgetting that we are all not the same and our s*xual lives can’t be the same as well.
That’s what leads to cheating in marriage. Some men or women can’t imagine been faithful to just one person because they’ve done it with several people in their past or before marriage so it’s difficult. Research has it and I learnt that if you had s*x with a particular person if you meet the person-years after and you’re alone or whatever, it is possible that you will do it again.
You are really a strong advocate on ‘no se.x before marriage?
s*x is good, don’t get me wrong, I mean God created it and everything He made is good and beautiful but s*x before marriage is what makes it bad and wrong and s*x with anyone else apart from your husband or wife in marriage is bad as well.
