Recently a popular Ghanaian actress known as Yvonne Nelson was in the news and on social media for disclosing that she had not had sex since January 2014. The story which was started off on Instagram by John Dumelo, also an actor and close friend of Yvonne Nelson, quickly got onto major online news websites in Ghana.
For the record, this is not the first time Yvonne Nelson is reported to have sex starved. Myjoyonline.com reported that she made similar disclosure during an interview in 2013. In that interview, she disclosed that she had not had sex for about seven months.
As one who believes in sexual purity, I feel the need to respond to Yvonne Nelson on her sex starving. Even though Ms. Nelson did not emphatically say that her sex starving is equivalent to sexual purity, I feel the need to address this issue because of the caliber of person that she is. For the good and the worst, people nowadays look up to these celebrities and would go all out to imitate them. Thus, for her fans’ sake, it is important to point out clearly that sex starving is NOT the same as sexual purity.
