Popular Nollywood actor Baaj Adebule has revealed his reason for not preferring to marry a virgin when he decides to settle down.
He explained that his aversion stems from the challenging process of deflowering, which he found to be traumatic based on past experiences.
In a recent interview with Pulse, Adebule said, “I don’t want to marry a virgin. Because first, obviously, you will have to do the disvirgining which is something I’ve been through before and it is quite traumatic.
“When people think about it, they only think about the lady, nobody thinks about the guy and what he goes through to do it. It is a very terrible experience for a guy.”
