First time I had sex, I was raped - Foluke Daramola

Popular Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola recently spoke to a Punch
correspondent about the journey of her life. Read her espouse to the
following topics:

My first crush

I would say that my first crush was my first relationship. I was about
17 years old then. Unfortunately, he was not the first person I had
sex with. I share it with the younger generation because it is
something that has been talked about but I have got over it. The first
time I had sex, I was raped. I had my first relationship with the
first person I had a crush on, Seun Olomofe. He is one of the most
caring and considerate persons I have ever met in my life. He was my
mother's close friend's son. He was one person that showed me so much
love. He was always there for me; he was the first person to ever make
me a special card. I had a huge crush on him. When sex was not coming
to play in the relationship, he said he was tired and I was so
heart-broken. I was supposed to go to University of Lagos; it was
because of him I changed my admission to Obafemi Awolowo University. I
saw him as an epitome of the kind of person I would like to spend the
rest of my life with. That was the first major crush that I had.

My first sexual encounter

My first introduction to sex was rape. It was with one of our tenants.
I got so close to him and saw him as an elder brother. He looked at me
as someone that had been exposed because I was busty and he thought I
had had a sexual experience before. So he had his way with me. Then it
was not something you tell the whole world. People said we should keep
quiet about it. Then they tried to make trouble with him but
subsequently people said we should keep quiet about it. We had to try
and manage it in our own way even though it affected me for a long
time psychologically. I had to gradually get over it. I believed so
much in the principle of keeping your virginity till you are married.
I started showbiz from Teen TV on DBN with Chichi Okaro. Then I used
to be so vocal and when we spoke about pre-marital sex and virginity,
I was always so passionate about it. It was such a disadvantage and a
pity for me.

My experience as a busty lady

At the initial stage, I used to be so ashamed of myself. At that time,
I would wear clothes that would not let my bust be noticeable. I was
trying everything I could so that it would not be obvious.
Subsequently, when I started acting and reading books, I read a book
that said the best admirer you have is yourself and the way you carry
yourself is how people would take you. I had to psyche myself to love
it. After I did so, I noticed that I was getting advances even from
people I didn't expect, like some of my late father's friends. Being a
deep thinker, I always look at the advantage of everything, I saw that
it was something I could not change so I had to make the best out of
it. I got it into my sub-conscious that it was a plus than minus. I
have had reasons to talk to a lot of people that are busty and who do
not appreciate themselves. They now see it as an asset than a
liability.
