A Nigerian clergyman has sparked online conversation after offering a candid and unusual perspective on adult toys within the institution of marriage.
Apostle Joshua Aghasedo argued in a clip that surfaced on the 12th of August, 2026, that adult toys should not automatically be considered sinful, framing them as functional tools that can serve a purpose within a marital relationship.

To drive his point home, he drew comparisons to everyday technology, asking whether driving a car or using a phone could be classified as sin, given that both are simply equipment designed to make life easier.
Aghasedo's Argument for Marital Use
The cleric was clear that he has never personally used such a device, but he maintained that modern technology of this nature can assist couples with their private lives.
He went further, disclosing that he had, on at least one occasion, recommended an adult toy to a married couple after carefully considering the details of their situation.
His reasoning centred on keeping the couple faithful to one another and preventing one partner from seeking intimacy outside the marriage.
"I have suggested sxx toy to a couple before. When I look at all the surrounding circumstances, so that somebody is not going out and all those things. I'm not joking. It's an equipment to help the process," he said.
Where He Drew the Line
Pastor Aghasedo was equally emphatic about the boundaries of his position. He stressed repeatedly that his comments applied strictly within the framework of marriage, and that adult toys are appropriate only for married couples.

In his view, using such a device outside of marriage, or independently by a single individual, crosses into self-pleasure, which he equated with the sin of the flesh under his religious interpretation.
"Adult toy is only for married couple. We are talking within the framework of marriage, right? Not outside. Now, if you engage it on your own, it's called 'sin of the flesh'," he stated.
