Dear LIB readers: I hate that my girlfriend has had 13 lovers


From a male LIB reader

The saying that don't ask except you really want to know is true because I regret asking my woman (now ex) how many lovers she has had. In a honest heart to heart the other day I asked her how many boyfriends she's had and she said four serious relationships. I assumed that was the number of men she has been with but she confessed she has slept with men she wasn't in relationships with. When I asked her how many men she has slept with she said 13. If she were 40, I'd be surprised but I will understand but she's just 26.

I haven't touched her since this revelation because I am so disappointed but she keeps telling me her friends have been with more men and hers isn't that bad. Well, I don't want a woman whose vijayjay has serviced that many KoKs. Mine makes it 14. Any LIB men looking to be 15th? I can throw in her number in the comment section.

Actress Says Sex Before Marriage Is Good


Nollywood actress, Ronke Ojo aka Oshodi Oke has said that premarital sex is the necessary to enable a couple know what they’re getting into.
The actress also said that her breasts are her unique selling point as they have brought her fame and fortune.
The mother-of-one revealed this in an interview with Vanguard where she opened up on her boobs, career and her marriage. Excerpts below:

You have big boobs, have they caused you any embarrassment?

Before now, I get ashamed of them. But I later began to see the beautiful side and stopped hiding them because they fit me. People appreciate my boobs and I also love it. My boobs are one of the things that brought me to limelight in the movie industry.

Are your boobs your selling point?

Yes, it is and apart from that it is one part of my body I cherish most.

How will you react to the increase in premarital sex among our youths?

Sex is a normal part of life just like money. I know I am a Yoruba ambassador but personally I believe any body above 18 and has a serious relationship can have sex even outside marriage.
The couple should know what they have underneath their clothes before they get committed to each other for life. What if I do not like the size as a lady? Frankly, it is one of the reasons why many go into extra marital affairs.
Even when a man has everything in the world and does not satisfy me sexually, there is serious trouble. I cannot go into a marriage and start regretting, besides, you won’t be able to tell your family members what you are going through in the name of marriage. I cannot manage sex, it is either I enjoy it or disapprove it.

Are you happily married?

Yes, I am.

Why are you not living with your spouse?

I prefer how we live apart. At the early stage of our courtship, it was a bone of contention but later he knew what I wanted and I appreciate him for that. If I really want to be successful in my marriage and career, this is how best we feel we can go about it.

How have you been coping as mother, career woman and a wife?

It has not been easy but as an African woman I have been managing well. Besides, I have a very supportive mother and an understanding husband. My children stay with my mum and I come around when I am free.
