Nollywood actress, Juliana Olayode, has advised unmarried people against allowing concerns about sexual compatibility to influence their decision to have sex before marriage.\n<\/p>\n
The actress, who is an advocate of sexual purity, said she regularly had conversations with people who expressed fears about marrying partners without first knowing what their sexual relationship would be like.\n<\/p>\n
In a lengthy social media post on Saturday, Olayode said people approached her with questions, doubts and personal experiences concerning sex, relationships and Christian beliefs.\n<\/p>\n
She admitted that some of the conversations involved subjects she would not ordinarily discuss with close friends or within her Christian circle.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, people say things I wouldn\u2019t ordinarily say or use words that aren\u2019t even in my vocabulary. Not necessarily because they\u2019re wrong for expressing themselves, but because these aren\u2019t conversations I would typically have within my regular circle or with my close friends,\u201d she wrote.\n<\/p>\n
According to her, one of the discussions centred on whether unmarried couples needed to see each other naked or have sex before marriage to establish sexual compatibility.\n<\/p>\n
She said some people were concerned about issues such as physical compatibility, sexual satisfaction and the possibility of discovering problems after getting married.<\/p>\n
Addressing the concerns, Olayode said the size of a man\u2019s penis did not determine sexual satisfaction, adding that couples could learn about each other\u2019s bodies and preferences after marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe size of a man\u2019s penis does not determine sexual satisfaction,\u201d she stated.\n<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cMarriage is not a sexual examination you must pass before you can confidently say yes to someone.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The actress acknowledged that sexual intimacy was important in marriage but argued that compatibility involved more than physical attributes.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSex is important in marriage. Sexual compatibility matters. But I believe we sometimes place so much pressure on knowing everything beforehand that we forget that intimacy is also something couples grow into,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n
Olayode said couples could understand each other\u2019s needs, communicate their preferences and discover what worked for them through patience and mutual understanding.\n<\/p>\n
She also encouraged couples to seek guidance from Christian sex counsellors and qualified sex therapists during marriage counselling and in marriage.<\/p>\n
The actress further argued that abstaining from sex before marriage did not mean couples would be unable to enjoy fulfilling sexual relationships after their wedding.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cPurity is not a guarantee of a perfect marriage. Having sex before marriage doesn\u2019t guarantee sexual satisfaction either,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
She explained that her advocacy for purity was rooted in her Christian faith rather than an expectation that abstinence would guarantee a trouble-free marriage.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cPurity is not a transaction where we abstain today in exchange for a perfect marriage tomorrow. We pursue purity because we love God, because we trust Him and because it is the life He has called us to live,\u201d she wrote.\n<\/p>\n
Olayode also criticised what she described as the tendency among some Christians to choose which biblical instructions to obey based on personal convenience.\n<\/p>\n
She maintained that people could acknowledge different experiences without allowing them to determine their religious convictions.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not judging anyone. I am not oblivious to the different experiences people have had. I simply believe that we can acknowledge people\u2019s experiences without making those experiences the standard for our convictions,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Reaffirming her position, the actress declared, \u201cAnd yes, SEX IS FOR MARRIAGE. I believe it, I talk about it, and I stand by it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
She also maintained that sexual purity was not outdated or unrealistic but an invitation open to everyone.\n <\/p>\n
