Yvonne Orji Shows How to Boldly Represent Being a Virgin at Nearly 40

Yvonne Orji, in a recent interview on the Dear Chelsea podcast, doesn’t only cover being a virgin but she tackles some other topics like the expected age she wanted to be married versus the age she is likely more ready to be married. She’d wanted to be married by 23 but feels that life has worked out as it should have for her to have accomplished as much as she did. At 39, she feels more ready to be married than ever.

Yvonne reminds us even though we have our desires—things may not always happen as we expect. We have to trust God’s bigger plan and keep moving forward. At 18, Yvonne expected to lose her virginity, but God had other plans. She was on her way to the club but a friend suggested Bible study before hitting up the club.

This is where she was introduced to a woman who knew the Word of God and walked in love. She grew a hunger for the same type of relationship with God. This experience led to further growth and commitment and the girl we see now who is committed to waiting for marriage to have sex at the age of 39.

Yvonne says to pray for her future husbae as she has lots of pent-up sexual energy. The show host, Chelsea suggests that Yvonne will need a couple of men.

Later, a virgin had written into the show to share that she had not been out on a date for some years. She was nervous to start dating again. Yvonne encouraged her letting her know she needs to find her confidence. Her words were, “Find your own sexy.”

Meaning, that the virgin who called in, will need to know within herself she isn’t for everyone and everyone isn’t for her. She should have enough confidence to still believe she can put herself out there to attract what she wants. Everyone not respecting the fact that she’s a virgin is okay. This is to be expected.

Yvonne continued her advice saying the woman doesn’t need several good men but one good brother for her. She ended her advice suggesting for the woman to be open to getting to know men alluding to her previous guardedness of giving out her email to interested suitors. This reminds me of when I would give out my social media info to potential suitors. Now, I only give out my socials to potential suitors I don’t have a mutual interest in lol.

Yvonne Orji being a virgin at 39, I’m sure, allows her to experience all too well the persecution that comes with this lifestyle. Yet, she reps it with boldness. She isn’t backing down from her commitment although she is pushing 40.

Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe had a small segment on Yvonne’s abstinence vow. Chad tried to convince Shannon to pursue Yvonne as she fits the mold of what can be considered a good wife according to traditional standards. Shannon responded no! He wants Nasty B.

This is a reality of what virgin women and men experience on a regular. It’s assumed that sex with a virgin will be bad. Because of this, many virgins are passed over when it comes to mate selection. In the face of this type of persecution—we are required to remain bold. Despite the persecution, there will always be those willing to love virgins.
