“I’ve Slept with 370 men” Nigerian woman Seyi Kolade reveals

Approaching a man at a bar, Seyi Kolade had only one thing on her mind as she chatted with the stranger - sèx. Within hours the pair were in bed together and she was delighted at how her evening had panned out.

And this was not a chance encounter, for Seyi was a sèx addict and it was what she did almost every day for 13 years.Last night she said: “sèx addiction took hold of my life.”

Seyi, 35, was just 17 when she became dependent on sleeping with men. By 19 she’d had 40 partners and she says she has bedded a shocking total of 370 men.

Her dangerous addiction led her to a life of destruction – catching sèxually transmitted infections, being evicted from her home and having two terminations.

By the age of 30, Seyi had hit rock bottom and needed help. Today, after attending numerous sèx addiction meetings and 12-step programmes, Seyi has been celibate for four years and is helping others like her.

She explains says: “sèx addiction is something people associate with men, but it took hold of my life for more than 13 years.
“It was a craving and a fear of how I’d feel if I couldn’t get it.
“Once I did, it was a huge relief, like a weight was lifted.
“It’s like any addiction. It made me selfish, self-destructive and depressed but it was a cycle I couldn’t escape.”
