Big Brother Naija reality star Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin, has revealed what her mother’s reaction was when she told her she had lost her virginity.
She added that when she told her mother that her first encounter had not gone as planned, her mother gave her some tips on how to make the deed enjoyable.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, Doyin noted that most parents don’t speak to their kids about s#x education, stressing that oftentimes such children get misled by outsiders due to the lack of communication between them and their parents.
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 sex 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 sex. And she was like, ‘No.’ She didn’t make me feel bad about it. She suggested things I should do to myself.
“So, 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.”
