Baaj Adebule, the Nigerian actor, has revisited his comments about the challenges of marrying a virgin.
The 36-year-old actor sparked debate in 2024 when he suggested that being a woman’s first sexual partner could be a “traumatic” experience for men.
“I don’t want to marry a virgin, because first, obviously, you will have to do the ‘disvirgining,’ which is something I’ve been through before and it is quite traumatic,” he had said.
However, in a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, the actor, who is yet to be married, clarified that his words were taken out of context.
“We were having a conversation about virginity and how people look at it and everyone agreed that it is something good, it is definitely something to be proud of. But it is also not something that you should use to beat other people over the head with as that you are better than them,” he said.
“However, it is definitely something that if you can pull off, that is definitely great.”
The actor also shared a personal story about being someone’s first sexual partner, describing it as an emotionally and physically taxing experience for both parties.
“We were talking about experiences and I spoke about my experience when I was still very young. The blood… because I really enjoy when the person I am doing it with is also enjoying it,” he said.
“In that experience, she does not get to enjoy it. It is just a lot of pain, a lot of crying and then there’s the blood. So that was what I was talking about, that it is not the most enjoyable experience when you have to be the one to disvirgin. Not that it is a bad thing.”
