How Important Is Sex in a Relationship
Talking about “the importance of sex in relationship” would have gotten us a side-eye just a few decades ago as its considered a taboo. But, in recent times people have become unapologetically sexually liberated and we are here for it. Before we delve into its significant role in a relationship, it’s important to note that sex is not the oxygen that keeps a relationship alive, it does not make things better. The truth is, it might improve relationship but sometimes make things difficult. For some people its the most important thing, but for others it can be overlooked if the relationship is on a good track. That being said let’s dive into the importance of sex in a relationship, shall we?
Intimacy and Connection: It’s undeniable that the emotional side of love is intimacy, everybody wants someone who knows and understands them better than anyone else. And most times sex gives this type of feeling. Having sex can help you and your partner express love and affection in a way that deepens your bonds and strengthen emotional ties. It allows you connect on a different level with your partner, it can lift mood and ease tension. Without sexual intimacy especially in marriage couples will be distant and lonely even while living under the same roof.
Improves Relationship Health and Communication: Having regular sex keeps partners committed emotionally and improves communication. Communication makes or breaks a relationship, and sex teaches you how to communicate with your partner in an unimaginable way through physical touch which speaks louder than words sometimes. Additionally, talking about how you feel during or after sex with your partner can help you both understand each other, boost confidence, self esteem, self worth and improves relationship.
Vulnerability: Trust, and strong emotional connection are unquestionable traits built through sexual intimacy.
Ease and Relief Stress: Sex reliefs stress and tension in relationships. That is why most times make-up sex are the best in reconnecting and resolving conflicts.
Relationship Satisfaction: Overall pleasure and contentment in relationship can be influenced by sex. Having a good sexual intimacy makes you and your partner feel more happy and fulfilled.
Ultimately, the most important thing here is for couples to prioritize their connection and relationship, find a way to maintain intimacy, whether its through sex or other form of intimacy.

DJ cuppy to become “first female president”
Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, recently made history by becoming the first British-Nigerian to host an opening session at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
This momentous event took place during the “Summit of the Future, Youth Action Day,” an important initiative aimed at galvanizing global youth to participate in solving pressing issues related to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Watch below 👇
Cuppy, who is also a renowned philanthropist, was the moderator for the Youth Action Day, and she captivated the audience with her charisma, electrifying the session with her dynamic energy.
In her keynote, she casually hinted at her aspiration to become Nigeria’s first female president, which prompted a humorous and encouraging response from Amina J. Mohammed, the UN Deputy Secretary-General
DJ Cuppy’s participation highlighted the significance of youth involvement in global affairs, and her presence at the event further underscored the importance of female leadership, especially for young women across Africa.
Cuppy concluded her involvement with a musical performance that left a powerful impression, sealing her role as a trailblazer in both the entertainment and global advocacy arenas
In the comment section of the video, viewers shared their thoughts on the event and its broader implications for global governance and youth leadership.
One user, ShahrezadNorMohammadiy9116, expressed optimism about the younger generation’s potential to address global challenges, stating that “effective intergenerational initiatives and collaborations” could foster development and recovery. This reflects the sentiment that youth-led actions, such as those promoted at the Summit, hold the key to the world’s future.
However, not all comments were in agreement.
User jellybeanz3405 expressed skepticism, stating, “Keep your global governance to yourself. The people of America like our sovereignty,” highlighting concerns about the implications of global initiatives for national independence.
Another commenter, EdwardLawrence-12345, struck a more hopeful tone, proclaiming, “We are the next super global leaders,” while quoting Marcus Tullius Cicero: “Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error,” emphasizing the importance of learning from past mistakes as we navigate toward global leadership.
These comments reflect the diversity of opinions surrounding global governance and the role of young leaders, with some hopeful for change and others wary of external influence.

Davido accuses INEC
Nigerian Afrobeat star Davido recently took to social media to strongly criticize the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over its handling of the Edo gubernatorial election, which took place on September 21, 2024.
Davido’s critique primarily focused on delays in the arrival of voting materials, the failure to electronically transmit results, and what he described as a pattern of electoral mismanagement by INEC.
Although Davido is from Osun State, he explained that his interest in the Edo election stems from his personal connection his late mother hailed from Edo State.
His deep frustration with INEC’s actions, however, goes beyond family ties. Having witnessed similar issues during the Osun gubernatorial elections, Davido declared that INEC had not lived up to its promise of transparency and accused it of being “the most dangerous institution in Nigeria.”
In his impassioned posts on X (formerly Twitter), Davido urged Edo residents to protect their votes by closely monitoring the entire electoral process from polling units to collation centers.
He warned of potential electoral manipulation and called for extended voting hours in response to the delays. Davido’s criticisms of INEC echo widespread concerns about the transparency of Nigeria’s electoral processes,
particularly with the lack of electronic transmission of results, which many see as a critical step toward reducing rigging and promoting fair elections.
In another of his tweet, he claimed they have written results in Edo North.
What do you think of INEC behavior regarding election?
