Although they haven’t set a date yet, they plan to get married in 2025, followed by a honeymoon in Southeast Asia or Greece.
Even though it’s still been over a year, Jonathan wants his first night with Naya, a full-time influencer, to check all the boxes.
“As Christians, we believe that your body is a temple and that in marriage a man and a woman give their bodies to each other,” he explained.
“So I want to give her my best and make sure she likes what she sees.
“I believe the first time will be an experience, with all the excitement of wedding planning and getting married.

Her gym workouts include lunges to “increase blood flow to the pelvic region” and “hamstring strength and flexibility”; and hip thrusts to “strengthen the glutes, abs, hips and pelvic floor”

Naya added: “I also went to the gym to get ready and Jonathan helped me.
“For me, it’s as much preparing for the wedding day as it is preparing for the honeymoon – I have to look beautiful in my dress.
“But I’m also looking forward to our first time together – that waiting is no fun.”

He said waiting until marriage hasn’t been easy and hasn’t been without its moments of temptation.
He said: “If we’re out late at night we decide to meet somewhere in the middle of the two of us so we’re not tempted to sleep in because of a long journey home.
“What also helps is honest conversation – admitting ‘I’m horny and you’re horny’ can help ease the tension.”
Jonathan goes to the gym up to four times a week in preparation for their first time.
He also does some personal training work with Naya – to make sure they’re both ready.
He said: “The goal is to be at my best. I want to be good for her so she can enjoy my body.
“Some of the benefits of abstaining while being together have been having the chance to get to know each other without being blindsided by a sexual high,” Naya said.
He argued that “it’s not just for the bedroom.” Jonathan wants to be the “best person” he can be for her “physically, mentally and emotionally”
Jonathan believes that “abstaining is not supposed to be perfection. It’s supposed to be something you’re shooting for.
“It’s not just for the bedroom – I want to be the best person I can be for her physically, mentally and emotionally.
“But our private time together is the point of all the preparation.”
Jonathan takes supplements that are rumored to help in the bedroom and increase libido – like sea moss, horny goat weed, maca root and ashwagandha.
He also did exercises like hip thrusts and squats to hit all the right muscle groups so he knows he’ll be good on their wedding night.
He said: “I’m doing all this cardio, all these HIIT workouts and burpees too – I don’t want to run out of steam! »
But he said what he looks forward to most is “spending time with her endlessly.”
Jonathan said: “Without physical intimacy it can be a challenge.
“I can’t wait to wake up and sleep together.”
