How Did You Lose Your Virginity?

BattaBox heads onto the streets of Lagos, Nigeria to ask – when and how did you lose your virginity. It’s a question that gives an insight into the person and into society and their approach to sex.

And we came up with some interesting and honest answers, results, and insights into the reason why, when, and how Nigerians lose their virginity.

“I went to his house, and made him a good meal, and after eating, said let’s go to the bedroom, let’s do it small small, don’t pain me abeg,” explains one Lagos girl. “But it was not sweet, it hurt.”

“Definitely it was a good feeling, it was nice, that’s all,” says one Lagos guy.

Many of the Nigerians we asked said they lost their virginity after eighteen years old and even in their twenties. However according to the USAID/DHS, at least 27% of Nigerians first have sex under the age of eighteen. The average ages is between 15-24. Another survey done by Durex in 2012, “Durex’s Face of Global Sex,” found the average age people first have sex in Nigeria is 19 years old.

The age of consent in Nigeria is 18 and the reasons for people losing their virginity in Nigeria are extremely diverse.

Churches and Mosques in Nigeria advocate for abstention and to wait until you find the right person and are married, but it does appear that many Nigerians are not waiting until they are married. But we found a few:

“Ah, yes, I’m still a virgin,” says one young man. “I want to hold it until I get married.”

“I lost my virginity to my oldest sister’s best friend,” explains one Lagos guy. “I was a novice, so I didn’t know anything about sex, so the girl was just teasing me because she knew I was losing my virginity.”

However, there remain serious issues of consent in Nigeria, as we discovered when we asked one girl how she lost her virginity:

“We didn’t plan it,” says one Lagos girl. “It was my boyfriend, but the guy forced me, it was kind of rape.”

In 2015 Durex, the condom maker, polled around the world and found Nigerians to be the most sexually satisfied country in the world, with Nigerians spending not less than 24 minutes having sex.

As you can see from the map above – Nigerians report some of the most exciting sex life’s in the world.

Can African Men in London be “Stay-At-Home” Dads?

It’s not often you hear a man from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or elsewhere in Africa say they can stay at home and look after the family, while the wife goes out to work. So BattaBox headed out to the streets of London to find out if perspectives change in different cities – with some interesting responses form both African men and African women:

“It’s very difficult as an African man because I’m not a lazy man!” says one man.

“In African culture you must work to provide for the family.”

But not everyone agrees:

“Yes, certainly, there’s nothing wrong with that,” says one man. “Otherwise you are killing the woman slowly.”

However, even many women from across Africa support the general consensus that African men should be the breadwinner of the family.

“From where I come from in Ghana – men go out to work, not stay at home,” says one woman.

“For my husband to be a stay-at-home dad? No it won’t be possible!” says one woman.

A variety of reasons are given for why a man should be the main provider of the family home – that is in the culture, that the man is head of the household, that is a natural thing, sometimes even a religious reason.

It comes as many men in the UK are beginning to experiment with the idea that the man can stay at home to look after the family, as women’s rights and equality and feminism rises.

But what do you think – can you be an African “Stay-At-Home” dad? Gist us in the comments and please don’t forget to share the video with your friends!
