"intimacy gadget is not a sin, it's an equipment" - Apostle Aghasedo sparks debate with controversial view on intimacyNigerian cleric, Apostle Joshua Aghasedo has sparked debate after sharing his perspective on the use of intimacy gadgets within marriage, describing them as equipment that can assist couples with intimacy.History
Speaking during a sermon, the pastor was asked whether using a intimacy gadget is a sin. In response, he compared intimacy gadgets to everyday equipment such as cars and phones, questioning whether using such devices within marriage should automatically be considered sinful.
“Is driving a car, is it a sin? A car to drive you from here to Dallas, is it a sin? Using the phone, is it a sin?” he said.
Aghasedo stressed that he had never used a intimacy gadget but noted that modern technology could assist married couples in their intimate lives. He also disclosed that he had previously suggested one to a married couple after considering their circumstances.
He explained that his recommendation was intended to help the couple deal with certain challenges and discourage either partner from seeking intimacy outside the marriage.
“I have never used a intimacy gadget. But in this modern day of technology, it’s an equipment. It can help you do the job to 90%, and you finish the remaining 10%.
I have suggested intimacy gadget to a couple before, when I look at all the surrounding circumstances, so that somebody is not going out and do those things. It’s an equipment to help the process. We are talking within the framework of marriage, not outside,” he added.
His comments have generated discussions online, with some agreeing that married couples can explore different ways to improve intimacy, while others questioned his interpretation of the subject.
Aghasedo’s remarks have continued to fuel conversations about marriage, intimacy and the place of modern technology in relationships.
