Former Big Brother Naija winner, Phyna, has said that sexual intimacy is currently the only thing men can offer her, while explaining why she is single.
The reality TV star made the remarks during a recent livestream, where she spoke candidly about her love life, sexual experiences and possible interest in exploring relationships with women.
Her comments have since sparked reactions on social media, with the remarks shared on X by Instablog9ja on Sunday.
Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, rose to prominence in 2022 after winning the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, tagged ‘Level Up’.
She became the second woman to win the reality show, following Mercy Eke’s victory in 2019.
Her win brought her widespread recognition and established her as a prominent figure in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Since leaving the reality show, Phyna has remained in the public eye through her entertainment career, social media activities and outspoken comments on personal and social issues.
Her relationships and private life have also attracted public attention, particularly following her highly publicised relationship with fellow reality TV personality Groovy.
Speaking about what men could offer her at the moment, Phyna said she sees little beyond sexual intimacy.
“The only thing a boy can literally offer me right now is sex, that’s it, nothing else,” she said.
The reality star also spoke about her experience with sexual pleasure following her circumcision, explaining that she does not frequently experience sexual desire unless she consciously makes an effort.
“I was circumcised, so I don’t get to get horny most of the time except I put my mind and heart to it,” she stated.
When asked how she manages to stimulate her desire, Phyna explained that imagining romantic situations, including kissing someone, sometimes helps her develop an interest in intimacy.
“I put my mind to it. Sometimes, I can just sit down and wish I am kissing someone, and that’s me putting my mind to it,” she added.
The BBNaija winner also jokingly suggested that she might consider dating women, hinting at the possibility of exploring a different sexual orientation.
“Maybe I will just turn gay, or maybe a tomboy and have a girlfriend,” she said.
