Nollywood actress Joke Silva is debunking the myth that sexual activities become less appealing to women as they get older.
The actress was a guest on the most recent episode of Africa Magic’s docuseries, The Rabors Forever After, where she discussed the benefits of sex for older women. She debunked the popular myth that men require younger women as they get older because women are more active. Silva went on to say that the narrative is not only false, but that the reality is the polar opposite.
She said, “Somebody decided to say, ‘People should accept the fact that men are: one, polygamous in nature, and also the older a man gets, the younger he needs a woman because the older woman is not as active.’ And I’m reading this, and I said, ‘What a load of crock’.”
Silva went on to discuss the advantages of getting older in terms of sex, noting that women become more relaxed after menopause because they don’t have to worry about getting pregnant.
“Once you’ve gone through menopause, number one, you’re more relaxed. You’re not taking anything chemical—none of that. And then you’re not taking chemicals for pregnancy. So, you’re saying you’re comfortable not being sexually active. You’re so much more relaxed. There are things for dryness. Lubricants for both parties,” she added.
The veteran also debunked the myth that men are polygamous by nature and should therefore be permitted to have multiple female partners. The 66-year-old host Betty Irabor and the other female guests on the show agreed with her statements.
