Rich, bored housewives take solace in lesbianism

 

SEPTEMBER 14, 2013 BY JULIET BUMAH (CHIBUMAH@***************.COM)

 

 

Sharon (not real name) has every reason to be happy. Her seven-year-old marriage is blessed with four lovely children and her husband, a successful businessman, is very caring. Her husband ensures that she lacks nothing. Sharon travels abroad on vacation with her children once every year, rides an eye-catching Sports Utility Vehicle – a white 2010 Range Rover Sports – and she has a wide circle of rich friends in her estate.

 

All these, she told our correspondent, the first time they met. Sharon, who will pass for a successful business executive in her trendy short gown and platform sandals, says she is a ‘housewife’.

 

However, she has a closely guarded secret. She’s a lesbian!

 

“Seriously, despite living the good life that money can get, I’m bored. You see, I am what you call a full-time housewife. I don’t work. My husband expects me to stay at home everyday. I have a very dry schedule. Apart from shopping, I do school runs for my kids twice everyday (morning and afternoon). Once I take the children to school in the morning, I visit friends who are also housewives or they come over to my house. That is how we catch our fun. I don’t use sex toys because I don’t want my husband to chance upon them. Now that the children are on vacation, I have to be with them all the time. If I have to go out, I go with them. My husband insists on that,” she tells Saturday PUNCH.

 

She is bored because she and her friends can no longer spend time together, whether in her house or in her friends’. Her friends are all young mothers like her and their children are home for the long vacation.

 

“Men think that money is all a woman wants. But that is not true. A woman who has all the money in this world will still not be happy if she does not get affection from her husband. That is the problem I am facing,” says Sharon, whose friends are lesbians too.

 

Sharon and her friends meet to have ‘fun’ when their children are in school. According to her, she was introduced to the lifestyle when she was in a secondary school in Anambra State. The school is an all female school. Some of the pupils, she said, were into lesbianism. The friends she made in the school all had their partners and at a point, they ‘initiated’ her.

 

“I joined them when I was in junior secondary class two. I had no choice because a senior picked me as a partner. She washed my undies and I washed hers. When she left our school after her SSCE, I picked another partner,” she says.

 

When she got married, she faced a new challenge. She realised that she was not enjoying her husband’s intimacy. Of course, she always acts as if she enjoys lovemaking with her husband.

 

The fair-complexioned beauty says, “At the initial stage of our marriage, any time we made love, I felt I was being raped. But I had to pretend I was enjoying the whole thing. My husband must not know that anything is wrong with me. But after a while, I started enjoying it. You see, technically, I was a virgin when I met my husband. I had been making love to fellow girls. My husband is my first and only man. At the point I started enjoying it with my husband, he got too busy. He didn’t have time for me again. Business was taking him to different parts of the world. I needed a companion. I didn’t even think of having a boyfriend. That’s too risky. I thought I was the only woman going through such a problem. Not until I told a friend. Ann (not real name) told me she had the same problem but found a way round it.”

 

How did Ann solve her problem?

 

“Ann is also a full time housewife like me. Her husband also travels a lot. She told me her secret. When her children are in school, she keeps herself busy with films. At a point, she started watching adult films. We used to visit each other. One day, when I went to visit her, we watched an adult film. That film put us in the mood and we started touching each other. We were in her bedroom upstairs. Ann wasn’t into women but she enjoyed that experience and we became lovers. I know that many married women are into this (lesbianism). I got to know that other friends are into it,” Sharon explains.

 

What will Sharon do if she finds out her daughter is a lesbian? “God forbid bad thing. My daughter will never be a lesbian. I will ensure that. I will pray against that, I will do everything to make sure she never moves with people who may influence her,” she says.

 

Ann is shy by nature. Her well-groomed hair and nails, the Senegalese Kaftan and stone-studded flat slippers are classy. When our correspondent met her, she spoke very little. “I’m 28 years old. I’ve been married for 10 years. I have six children. I can’t say more. I have to go back home. My husband is in town. He will soon be back. I don’t go out much,” the pretty tall woman says.

 

When our correspondent, who posed as a lesbian, announces that she wants a ‘foursome’ with her, Sharon and a male friend, Ann stares incredulously at her. “Me, sleep with a man who is not my husband? I will never do that to my husband. I will never cheat on him,” she says, picks her car key and leaves. She drives a red Toyota Venza.

 

But is Sharon not scared that her husband may find out? “He can’t find out. He knows Ann is my friend. Ann’s husband is his friend. Anytime he and Ann’s husband see us together, they do not raise an eyebrow.

 

“They have never seen us with men. I’m sure it has never occurred to them that women can do uch a thing,” she replies with certainty.

 

When told we risk 14-year jail term if caught and convicted, Sharon said, “Please don’t say that again. Nobody must catch us o. My husband will kill me. I don’t think I want to continue with this. Please leave me alone,” her voice scarcely above a whisper.

 

Investigation by Saturday PUNCH reveals that some married women swing both ways. Some, like Sharon and her friend, Ann, are into lesbianism because they feel that their husbands do not have enough time for them at home, some others are into it because it’s a lifestyle they got into and find it difficult to stop.

 

However, they all insist that if their husbands realise that money is not love, things will be better.

 

Janet thinks our correspondent is a lesbian. Unlike Sharon and Ann, Janet worked briefly in a bank before she got married. After marriage, her husband stopped her from working.

 

After the first meeting with our correspondent, which she (Janet) thought was a chance meeting in a shop at Ajao Estate, they met the second time at the Ikeja City Mall. On both occasions, she came in different cars -a 2012 black Toyota Highlander and red Range Rover Sport respectively. She and her three kids are just back from a three-week vacation in London.

 

Her appearance reeks of wealth. She has on a blue jeans trousers and a black chiffon top. She has a beautiful face but it is obvious she has problem with weight.

 

Her bejewelled fat fingers sparkle as she traces a line on the table. But it appears that she is actually passing a message that our correspondent fails to understand.

 

“You are a beautiful woman. You have confidence. I like my women so. I have a husband who provides my needs. He is too domineering though,” she tells our correspondent.

 

She talks like someone who is used to being obeyed. She said that she met many lesbians during her stint in a bank as a marketer. She had to do their bidding to get and maintain their accounts.

 

“Your boss does not want to know how you did it, he just needs you to deliver. That was how I met my husband. The first thing he did was to stop me from working. I believe it is not the best but what can I do?

 

“To make matters worse, he travels a lot. He imports building materials. I live in a big house in Ajah, Lagos with my three kids and his siblings who never wanted me as their brother’s wife. To keep myself happy, I visit friends. His siblings are always monitoring me. They want to catch me with a man but they’ll never succeed. My female friend comes to the house and we go to my room. I like you. I fell in love with you the first day I saw you,” she tells our correspondent who had regaled her with cooked up stories of her escapades with fellow women.

 

When our correspondent expresses concern over the new law against same-sex relationship in Nigeria, Janet waves it off.

 

“Who will arrest you? Will we be kissing on the streets? Anyway, are our leaders not doing it also? I just don’t want to mention names but I know a number of them who are into same-sex relationship. I tell you, that law will only ‘catch’ a dog,” she says.

 

However, while these married women blame their always-absent husbands for their actions, a sociologist, Mr. Monday Michaels, says the man may even be grappling with a problem.

 

He says, “That position is not entirely the reason. They have an option of getting another man or masturbation. However, certain reasons can account for it. Given economic downturn, most men have lost sexual urge to sustain intercourse that may be satisfactory to women. Some women opt for same-sex intercourse to get orgasm and prolonged sexual satisfaction.

 

“Some say the unwillingness of men to engage in certain sexual acts like cunnilingus, anal penetration etc are some of the reasons why they engage in sex with fellow women.

 

“For a married woman, it should have been a previous sexual behaviour that she had to fall back to, given the absence of man, especially if she did not want to be seen as unfaithful by going out with other women.”

 

 

My opinion, this seems like a bad lesbian porn movie. every invalid (and stupid) misconceptions about homosexuality is in this article. Lesbianism, according to this article boils down to boredom, bad economy, cunnilingus, and anal sex which is so untrue. There is no validity given to attractions between two same sex person(s) without sex being thrown in the mix.
