Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, a former contestant on the reality show Big Brother Naija, revealed that she confided in her mother after losing her virginity.
During the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, Doyin discussed the lack of sex education between parents and children. She emphasized that this lack of communication often leads children to seek information from unreliable sources, ultimately resulting in misinformation.
Doyin also mentioned that her experience was both bitter and sweet, and she shared some advice with her mother on how to enhance her own sexual experience.
She said: “When I lost my virginity, I spoke to my mum about it. I said, ‘Mummy, this thing [coitus] did not feel this way.’ And we had a conversation. She was like, ‘Okay, this is what you should do. Do you use a condom?’
“Parents need to create that kind of environment where their kids can open up to them. There’s nothing I cannot say to my mum. I wasn’t enjoying s+x for a while and I told my mum. I asked her, ‘I’m circumcised?’ Because I read somewhere that if you’re circumcised, you won’t enjoy s+x. And she was like, ‘No.’ She didn’t make me feel bad about it. She suggested things I should do to me.
So, it [s+x education] starts from the house. Parents need to create that kind of environment where their kids can speak to them about anything. At the end of the day, it’s either they’re speaking to you or they’re speaking to someone else.”
