Uthanda Bani: Jabulile can't keep her hands off her man

While he loves his girlfriend very much, Thato just can’t keep up with her needs. The entertainer has found himself in a position where he has to choose between his booming career and his girlfriend. That’s not an easy decision to make because he loves his partner, Jabulile, and his work. He reached out to Uthanda Bani in an attempt to help Jabulile with her alleged sex addiction.

The ultimatum

Thato explained to Basani: “My girlfriend is addicted to sex in a way that if I refuse to have sex with her, she gets mad at me. She doesn’t prepare my water to bath, and get lunch.” He said he faces a lot of problems when he doesn’t give her what she wants. Her addiction is so bad that she sometimes makes him choose between her and his work as a DJ and producer.

“I ended up getting warnings at work for always being late. I also go to my gigs late because I have to compromise for both things I love,” he shared. Thato fears disappointing his girlfriend and is worried that she might “get it somewhere else” if he doesn’t comply.

No self-control

What does Jabulile have to say about all of this? Well, she told Basani: “I can’t control myself. And I’m comfortable with him so that’s why I love doing it. I don’t know what his problem is.” She agreed that she loves sex, adding that she doesn’t mind doing it every day. Her addiction began after she turned 27 before giving birth to her second child. “That’s when I discovered that I’m too addicted because the first thing I want to do when I arrive, before we even talk, is sex,” she said.

Jabulile believes that “you need to be good in bed to keep a man”. This is how she approached her previous relationships. After a lengthy conversation with the couple, Basani told Jabulile: “The addiction is something that you think he loves, it’s actually killing him, it’s actually exhausting him. It’s threatening his career. But to you that is love.” She told Jabulile that there’s nothing wrong with sex, however there’s everything wrong with an addiction.

Jabulile promised that she’ll try to keep her hands off Thato and allow him to do his things.

In the end, Jabulile chose to fight for her relationship. All the episodes of Uthanda Bani are available to binge-watch on Showmax.
