A Ghanaian pastor who also doubles as marriage counsellor has declared that virgins are a burden to the men who are “unfortunate” enough to get into relationships with one.
“Virginity is a burden,” Pastor George Lutterodt declared.
“Look, if you gather 10 men in Ghana, eight of them don’t want to have virgins because virgins are burdens. Virginity doesn’t add anything to the fun,” he said.
When told by his listeners that pre-marital sex is tantamount to prostitution, he took exception, and reiterated that the Bible is not against prostitution.
As far as Lutterodt is concerned, the Bible does not prohibit or condemn prostitution — a claim that is contrary to the teachings of pastors who preach holiness of life and righteous living, one of which stipulates abstinence from sex until marriage for both men and women.
Lutterodt made these controversial statements when he was speaking on e.TV Ghana programme.
He argued, “If you gather 10 men in Ghana, eight of them don’t want to have a virgin, because virgins are a burden.”
To him, sex before marriage is a “normal thing.”
His listeners took him up, telling him that he could not speak for every man, because his personal convictions or sexual preferences cannot serve as a yardstick for all Ghanaian men.
At a point, he resorted to Ghanaian dialect, spiced with salacious English phrases such as “unending orgasm,” “vibrators,” “spice,” “sharing vagina,” “intimacy,” and uncomplimentary words such as “ashewo” (prostitute).
His controversial statements were accomapnied with generous guffaws, making faces and clapping of hands for emphasis.
