Co-Founder of Agape Christian Ministries, Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo, has spoken on the importance of embracing intimacy without shame, particularly for African women who may face societal pressure to suppress their desires.

Adejumo advised women to communicate their needs with partners and break free from restrictive cultural norms.

She also suggested that couples be more expressive during intimacy, promoting a healthier and more positive attitude towards sex.

She said: “I like sex. If I don’t, how will I have children? And you are just pretending, you like sex. African culture has told you that a woman should not show that she enjoys sex, otherwise they will call her a prostitute.

“When the man is touching you, you’re happy. So, the first thing is to disbelieve that in your mind, otherwise, you’ll be causing problems in your marriage.

“Tell yourself, sex is good. I want my husband. And when you’re having sex with your husband, don’t pretend and just be like a missionary. Talk, moan, sex is good.

“You cannot believe that African mentality. Let’s change it. The devil is using it to destroy marriages because that’s the highest level of intimacy.

“Tickle your husband, touch him when he’s making love to you. When he finishes, tell him he did a good job.”
