“Any Sex You Don’t Enjoy Is Slavery” – Filmmaker Aniebiet Francis Advises Women

Nigerian filmmaker and actress Aniebiet Francis has encouraged women to establish clear boundaries in their intimate relationships, stressing that consent should always be respected, including within marriage.

In a post shared on Facebook, Francis said women should never feel pressured into sexual activity they do not want or enjoy. She argued that emotional, intellectual, and financial independence empowers women to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.

According to her, women who are empowered are better able to decide when they want to have sex and how they expect to be treated during intimacy.

She wrote:

“As a woman, any sex you do not like constitutes sex slavery. When you are emotionally, intellectually, and financially empowered, you will have the audacity to choose when you want to have sex and how your body should be treated throughout it.”

Francis also maintained that marriage does not remove the need for consent. She said spouses should respect each other’s boundaries and should not force sexual activity or introduce new sexual practices without mutual agreement.

She added:

“Even your husband shouldn’t force sex on you when you are not up for it or try new things with your body without your consent and approval.”

Aniebiet Francis is known for producing films that focus on social issues and human experiences. Some of her notable works include Trepidation, Loopholes, Higher Crime, and Final List.
