A video that recently went viral is sparking major debate online—and Nigerians can’t stop talking about it. Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by NEBASARK, it features a Nigerian doctor giving men advice on what to “check” before getting intimate with women. And let’s just say… it’s controversial.

The Doctor’s Advice: Three “Red Flags”

In the clip, the doctor lists three things men should supposedly examine: smell, rashes, and discharge. According to him, spotting any of these is a sign of infection, and men should “run away.”

  • Smell: Any unusual vaginal odor? That’s a warning sign, he says. His advice: “Before you have sex, try to check—even if she’s not aware.”
  • Rashes: Boils, bumps, or warts are non-negotiable red flags. The doctor emphasizes that rashes have nothing to do with how “fresh” or “soft” the area looks.
  • Discharge: Yellow, pink, or purple discharge is a clear indicator of infection in his view.

Public Reaction

The video has divided opinions online. While some people say it’s helpful sexual health advice, many criticize it as invasive, unrealistic, and outdated. Critics argue it reduces sexual health to a visual inspection and ignores what really matters: consent, communication, and regular health checks.

Health experts caution that sexual health is far more nuanced. Safe intimacy comes from mutual respect, open dialogue, and proper STI screening, not quick visual checks or fear-driven rules.

The Bigger Conversation

This viral clip is a reminder that how we talk about sexual health is just as important as the advice itself. Oversimplifying these issues into a checklist can perpetuate stigma, shame, and misunderstanding.

At the end of the day, sexual wellness isn’t about running away at the first sign of “imperfection”it’s about awareness, respect, and responsible decision-making.
