The Co-Founder of Agape Christian Ministries, Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo, has called on African women to embrace their sexuality without shame, challenging cultural norms that often suppress women’s desires and limit open discussions about intimacy.
Speaking about the importance of healthy and fulfilling marriages in a video which she shared in an Instagram post on Tuesday, Adejumo encouraged women to shed societal expectations and confidently express their needs to their partners.
She emphasised that mutual enjoyment and open communication are crucial for a thriving relationship.
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.”
She stressed the importance of discarding outdated beliefs that undermine marital intimacy.
“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,” she added.
Adejumo urged wives to be more expressive during intimate moments, shedding inhibitions and embracing the joy of physical connection.
“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,” she said.
She further highlighted the dangers of repressing desires, cautioning that such attitudes can damage relationships, “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.”
