In an Instagram video, Martins dismissed a popular pastoral analogy comparing men who seek premarital intimacy to bicycles while advising women to wait for a Bentley as a symbol of commitment.

She argued that such advice oversimplifies relationships and does not guarantee loyalty or virtue.

“My question is: what if I am the one that is the Bicycle and the man is the Bentley? I don’t play games. I need to know my partner fully, sex included, before I commit to marriage,” Martins said.

The actress described herself as deeply loyal, stressing that entering a lifelong partnership without understanding a partner’s compatibility—including sexual compatibility—could lead to future issues. She added that making a man wait does not ensure commitment, stating:

“If you make a man wait for ten years, any man that will stay will stay, and any man that will leave will leave. Starving a man does not guarantee you are a good girl.”
