Pastor Bolaji Idowu has sparked reactions after questioning what he described as the conflicting expectations placed on single and married people regarding sex.
The pastor pointed out the irony of discouraging unmarried people from engaging in sexual relationships while simultaneously putting pressure on married couples to maintain an active sex life.
“Single people are trying to have s3x and we’re trying to stop them, while we’re trying to force married people to have s3x. What is wrong with you people?” he said.
His comment highlights the different expectations often placed on people depending on their relationship status, particularly within religious and social conversations around sexuality and marriage.
While premarital sex is frequently discouraged in Christian teachings, married couples may also face expectations concerning intimacy, with some religious discussions emphasizing the importance of sexual connection within marriage.
Pastor Bolaji Idowu’s remark has therefore drawn attention to what he appears to see as an inconsistency in the way society approaches the subject.
The statement has generated discussion online, with some people viewing it as a humorous observation about social expectations, while others have interpreted it as a broader call for more thoughtful conversations about relationships, marriage and sexual intimacy.
Idowu is known for addressing contemporary relationship and social issues in his teachings, often using straightforward and conversational language to engage his audience.
