Actress and adult entertainment consultant, Seyi Hunter, has opened up on Nigeria’s complicated approach to discussions around sexuality, stating that many people engage with sexual content privately while maintaining a different public image.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Hunter explained that she does not view the situation as outright hypocrisy but rather a reflection of Nigerians’ tendency to keep personal matters private.
“I won’t call it hypocrisy; I’ll say Nigerians are private people. It’s like most of us (not me) are living double lives. People often feel the need to present themselves in ways that align with societal or religious expectations, even when their private interests are different.
“There’s a reason we are always topping charts on porn sites, but nobody admits they watch them. Before I lost my first Sinful Friday channel on Xvideos, it had over a billion views. Who was watching? People pretend a lot, but Gen Z are breaking that stereotype,” she said.
Hunter further addressed the role of communication in relationships, stressing that honest conversations between partners are essential for achieving sexual compatibility and improving intimacy.
“If you are sexually compatible with your partner, all you need is communication to get the ball rolling. Always let your partner know what you want, and always explore. Fifty per cent of sex and intimacy is communication. Even if there’s a deeper issue, you’ll never know without communication,” she said.
The actress also shared a personal experience to highlight that emotional attraction does not always translate into physical compatibility, noting that chemistry between partners goes beyond simply liking someone.
“I dated someone I liked, but every time he touched me, it felt like he was using pins on my skin,” she added.
