Popular Nigerian actress Kudirat Ogunro has stirred controversy with her recent statement suggesting that a lack of sexual activity can reduce a woman’s beauty.
Ogunro, known for her outspoken views on social media, made this claim in a post shared on her Instagram page. In the post, she advised women to take their sexual life seriously if they wish to maintain their physical attractiveness.
The post, accompanied by a sultry photo of herself, quickly drew public attention and sparked heated discussions online.
“Lack of sex reduces a woman’s beauty”, Kudirat Ogunro
In her exact words, the actress wrote:
“Lack of sex reduces a woman’s beauty, please adjust. I have said my own.”
Her post was direct and unapologetic. It instantly went viral, drawing comments from fans and critics alike.
While some of her followers supported her view, others questioned the logic behind such a claim. Many social media users found the statement too general and argued that beauty depends on multiple factors, not just one’s sex life.
Reactions pour in from all corners
As expected, Kudirat Ogunro’s statement ignited a storm of reactions across various platforms. On Instagram, some users applauded her for speaking openly about what they described as a “natural truth.”
One user wrote:
“You’re right. Sex does make a woman glow. It’s good for the skin and confidence.”
Others disagreed strongly, saying her post was misleading and reinforced harmful stereotypes.
Another user commented:
“That’s not true. Some women are not sexually active and are still very beautiful. Confidence, health, and peace of mind matter more.”
Critics say beauty is more than just sex
Many critics of Kudirat Ogunro’s statement argued that reducing a woman’s beauty to her sex life sends the wrong message, especially to young girls. They pointed out that a woman’s glow or confidence can come from various sources, including good skincare, healthy living, exercise, self-love, and mental peace.
Some health and wellness enthusiasts also joined the conversation. They stressed that while intimacy can contribute to emotional and physical wellness, it should not be portrayed as the only path to beauty.
Ogunro stands by her words
Despite the backlash, Kudirat Ogunro has not withdrawn or edited her statement. The post remains on her Instagram page, drawing thousands of likes and comments.
The actress, who is no stranger to controversy, seems to embrace her bold persona and often uses her platform to share personal views, no matter how divisive they might be.
This is not the first time she has made headlines for a bold opinion. Her fans often describe her as unfiltered, daring, and unapologetically real.
Public figures and the influence of words
Ogunro’s statement once again raises the issue of how public figures influence conversations on sensitive topics like sex, beauty, and self-worth. Critics say celebrities must be more thoughtful about the messages they send, especially on platforms with wide audiences.
Others, however, defend her right to express personal opinions freely, whether or not they align with public sentiment.
The bigger conversation
This incident adds to ongoing debates about societal pressures on women to look a certain way or live a certain lifestyle. It also highlights how social media has become a battleground for opinions, where a single post can spark nationwide discussions.
While Kudirat Ogunro’s opinion may not sit well with everyone, one thing is clear, she has once again succeeded in getting people talking. Whether for attention, expression, or truth-telling, her words have struck a chord in the online community.
