I broke my virginity at the age of 26 after university - Richard Abbey Jnr.
Richard Abbey Jnr revealed that he "broke my virginity at the age of 26 after University of Ghana" during an interview on JoyNews' PM Express on Friday, April 10, 2026. He attributed this decision to discipline shaped by his strong spiritual upbringing.
Abbey is the Founder of the Forty Under 40 Awards and the Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Limited. He explained that his background in a strict Christian environment, particularly influences from the Deeper Life tradition, instilled in him a strong sense of restraint and discipline. He said, "That tells you that deeper life had kept you… there are two things that deeper life would teach you-not to drink and not to even have sex." He noted that his university years were defined by financial difficulty.
Abbey said the discipline he developed during those years has been instrumental in his rise as a successful entrepreneur and event organiser. He added, "Not to drink… at least I kept it for very long. Actually now I don't drink," reinforcing the long-term impact of his early values.
