“When you’re married, you should be able to let your husband say, 'baby please'. And you should be able to tell your husband, 'You brought out a woman in me, thank you'.

“Because when it comes to intimacy, you have to learn it. Like, you learn how to speak, you learn how to walk, you learn everything," she stated.
