Reverend Rabbi Odame has urged married couples to view sexual intimacy as a marital responsibility, likening it to the regular payment of household bills.
Rev. Odame emphasized that sex is an essential form of communication that nurtures love, trust, and respect between partners.
“Sex is supposed to be like the way you make payments for bills, because making payments for your bills is your responsibility,” he said.
Rev. Odame advised couples to maintain a healthy and consistent sexual relationship, recommending that married partners engage in sex at least four times a week. According to him, regular intimacy helps strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication in marriage.
Touching on masturbation, he described it as a spiritual issue that originates in the mind through lustful thoughts and imagery. “You create a picture of yourself either with your girlfriend or boyfriend having sex in your mind, and it gives some sort of pleasure,” he explained, warning that frequent masturbation can weaken a man’s sexual performance.
Encouraging couples to explore their sexuality while they are young, Rev. Odame humorously noted that “when you get old, the generator goes off and there is no light down there.” He stressed the importance of experiencing sexual variety before age or health issues make it difficult.
He also recommended natural remedies, such as garlic, for men facing sexual challenges and reassured that the male sexual organ does not “die” unless the person is physically dead. He urged men to understand their wives’ hormonal changes and learn how to satisfy them sexually. “You need to know how to please her so she doesn’t resort to sex toys. It’s easy to give your wife an orgasm even without penetration,” he said.
Rev. Odame further warned against unbiblical sexual practices, stating that they could have spiritual consequences. “Anything you do sexually which is not biblical can lead you to hell,” he cautioned.
Sharing a personal experience, he advised parents to be watchful of their children’s interactions with house helps, revealing that he was introduced to sexual activity by a maid during his childhood. “As parents, open your eyes, because my mum never knew her maid had introduced me to sexual activities,” he shared.
He concluded by urging couples to control their emotions, avoid triggers that lead to masturbation, and seek spiritual support through prayer. “They should pray, motivate themselves, and stay away from anything or any place that exposes them to sex toys or the urge to masturbate,” he advised.
