Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has ignited a national conversation about sexual compatibility in marriage, urging couples to evaluate their physical intimacy before making lifelong commitments. In a candid post on her X account, Amusa emphasized that sexual compatibility should be a key consideration in marriage decisions, especially for those who have had prior sexual experiences. She argued that individuals with little or no interest in sex may not be suited for marriage, and that cohabitation should not be limited to sharing household duties but must include understanding sexual dynamics.
Amusa highlighted that while two virgins entering marriage might adapt without major conflicts due to the absence of pre-existing sexual expectations, couples with prior experiences often bring specific desires, preferences, and demands into their relationships. These differences, she noted, can significantly affect marital satisfaction if not addressed early. She believes that couples must be honest with themselves and each other about their sexual needs before deciding to marry.
The actress stressed that cohabitation serves a deeper purpose than managing finances or household chores. According to her, physical intimacy is one of the most critical aspects of living together and should be explored thoroughly. “The essence of co-habitation is beyond cooking and laying of bedsheets,” she wrote. “Sex is top 3 and it’s not even number two or three. Get down with your partners well so you’ll know what you’re planning to live with for life!”
Amusa’s comments have sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms, with many Nigerians sharing their views on marriage, intimacy, and cohabitation. Some praised her for addressing a taboo topic openly, while others debated the role of sex in long-term relationships. Her advice underscores the importance of emotional and physical alignment in marriage, suggesting that compatibility in intimacy is as vital as emotional connection.
Her full statement reads: “If sex is not your thing, you shouldn’t be married and that is why I do not believe people aren’t meant to co-habit before marriage. Two virgins getting married without any wild desires may cope, but for the tested ones, we all have our sexual desires, demands and preferences. The essence of co-habitation is beyond cooking and laying of bedsheets, sex is top 3 and it’s not even number two or three. Get down with your partners well so you’ll know what you’re planning to live with for life! Know if you’re compatible. I recommend sexual compatibility before decision is reached.”
As conversations around relationships and marriage continue to evolve in Nigeria, Amusa’s perspective adds a bold voice to the ongoing dialogue on what truly makes a successful union. Her insights may encourage more couples to prioritize open communication and mutual understanding before stepping into marriage.
