Theresia Nyirakajumba has never been with a man and is hoping that one day her desire will be fulfilled.
There are many reasons why someone would want to remain a virgin and there is nothing wrong with the choices that each individual makes for themselves.

While waiting until marriage is a common concept amongst many cultures, Theresia Nyirakajumba's situation is a little more complicated.
In a now viral video, Theresia, a Rwandan woman aged 123, was given the opportunity to explain her unique situation and tell viewers why she is still a virgin at this late age.

According to Theresia, her culture does not allow women to date men and instead, a woman has to be introduced to a man by their family. Unfortunately for her, her family never introduced her to a man and thus she was never able to "fulfil her desires".
She also admits to being quite scared of powerful men and turned away possible suitors because of this.

Luckily, Theresia is not letting her age get her down and still has hope that she will meet a man who is worthy and who loves her.
I have never seen the nakedness of a man. For 123 years, I have lived with an unfulfilled desire, a deviant hope, and a courageous spirit of waiting that one day a man will emerge and embrace my soul. I never had a husband in my entire life.- Theresia Nyirakajumba
Even though Theresia is still on the lookout for a man, one has to wonder if her avoidance of the opposite gender might be the secret to such a long life?
