Accra, Ghana –
Ghanaian actress and media personality Efia Odo has stirred controversy and sparked heated debates across social media after making a bold remark about sexual performance during a recent interview.
In her exact words, Efia Odo stated:
“A guy who lasts only 40 minutes in bed is a red flag.”
The statement, which has gone viral, has left many Ghanaians and fans across Africa questioning what the ideal bedroom stamina should be — and whether 40 minutes is truly too little or perhaps too much.
Efia, known for her outspoken views on relationships, sexuality, and women’s empowerment, didn’t elaborate much further on what she considered the acceptable range, but her comment was enough to trigger varied reactions. While some applauded her honesty, others criticized the remark as unrealistic and unnecessarily provocative.
Mixed Reactions Online
On platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, users shared diverse opinions:
• “If 40 minutes is a red flag, some of us are traffic lights then,” one user joked.
• “This is why men are dying early. 40 minutes plus gym plus work? Please let’s be serious,” another posted.
• Others defended Efia Odo, stating that women should be allowed to express their preferences just as freely as men do.
Sexual Health Experts Weigh In
Some health experts have also joined the conversation, clarifying that there is no universal “ideal” duration for sexual activity, and that satisfaction is subjective and depends on mutual understanding and compatibility between partners.
This isn’t the first time Efia Odo has made headlines for her unapologetic views. Whether her 40-minute remark was exaggeration, sarcasm, or serious expectation, one thing is certain — she’s once again succeeded in putting herself at the centre of trending conversations in Ghana’s entertainment scene.
What do you think — is 40 minutes too short, too long, or just right?
