Popular Nigerian actor, John Okafor also known as Mr Ibu, is sharing his thoughts on romance or sexual relations between couples. He has said that romance is not all about sex and it is everything that transpires between a man and a woman.
According to his conversation with Punch, the actor and police recruit said, “When you talk about romance, the average man thinks of making love to a woman but it is not so. If you are romantic, it constitutes everything that transpires between you and a woman, whether she is your girlfriend or not.
“I believe that when you are romantic, it means you are caring to an extent that a woman would be willing to stay and play with you even without making love to you, and that is nice. If you are the type of person that has money and you go out to buy something for a lady you stay around, I believe that can be considered romantic.
“Or if you are invited to a party and you go with a lady, even if you are not married, that can also be considered romantic. Also, if you feel like having sexual intercourse and it’ s the same woman that comes to your mind, she may be willing to have it with you. But not that you force her and you think you are being romantic.”
On a romantic gesture he had expressed towards a woman in the past, he added; “There was something I did (some time ago) that made people suspect me. I bought a vehicle for a lady and people thought we were intimate. However, there was nothing like that. The girl was actually instrumental to a big deal I was working on which seemed impossible until I got her involved. I don’t even think the car was enough for her, compared to what she did for me.”
When asked about the reaction of his wife to the car gift he presented to the lady, he said; “Of course, I was married with children at that time, and I did not even know the colour of her pant. Usually, I tell my wife whatever I want to do and she understands.”
