If you are an aspiring artist, I think it is worth looking for other references you can use that fit the music you want to make. It might be useful to listen to other artists, specifically those who sound just as good, but choose not to opt for derogatory references, e.g. Akala.

a 25 year old virgin and still Q I’m haven’t lost it yet. When is the right time to have Sex?

Why does your age matter first? I know there’s pressure to live up to the popular image of being seductive and sexually experienced, the meme’s all over social media related to sex makes it seem as though there’s an entire world you’re missing out on. But the truth is; only a MINUTE minority of people air their sex lives, or sexual orientation on the internet and an EVEN smaller portion, and who know is any of it is true? FUN FACT: 27% of young people aged 20 - 25 in the UK are still virgins.

The older you get, the more sensible and responsible you become. So your choice of partner will probably matter more, so will the circumstances under which you have sex for the first time. Therefore the likelihood of regretting a rushed and meaningless decision will be more significant. So I would advise you not to think about it too much – it really isn’t that important. Just because all your friends are having, it doesn’t mean you should too. Finally, a ‘right time’ is subjective – it ALL depends on YOU! You can identify a right time when you are sure the person cares about you, understands you and accepts the importance of your virginity. But more importantly, you feel comfortable around the person and you can trust them, and choosing to have sex with them is a decision you believe you will not later regret. Don’t be pressurised into doing anything you’re not happy with. Take your time and don’t rush, everything will fall into place.
