Juliana Olayode: Why some women are still virgins

Nigerian actress, Juliana Olayode, says a lot of women are still virgins due to lack of opportunities to have sex.

In a recent interview with Nedu, the media personality, the actress known as Toyo Baby, argued that virginity does not define a good woman.

Her words: “So it’s our culture and that’s what we have brought to our way of life even up until now.

“But the fact that somebody is a virgin is not all there is to a woman, it’s not all what makes a woman a good woman. It’s not all what makes a woman a great woman.

“Because some people are just virgins because they’ve not had the opportunity to have sex, not because they want to stay that way.

“While there are other people who are not virgins but they are really good people. We don’t know the heart of people, we don’t know their why, we don’t know what’s going on in their heads, and we don’t go to their houses with them.

“So, we can’t particularly say this is the person who is a virgin for this good reason or this bad reason. Or this is a person who’s a virgin and is doing other things besides it. Or this is why this person has lost their virginity.”

Oloyede has made the headlines in the past over comments around sex and relationship.

In December last year, the film star narrated her struggle to abstain from sex.

“My body has been fighting against me like I don’t know it again. It’s getting more difficult to abstain from sex. Everything in my head is screaming sex. The way it’s going, I’m thinking of getting married for sex,” she had said.
