The Nigerian slang word soapy refers to masturbation.
Peller also recalled Jarvis questioning him after catching him in Barbados. He said he explained that a doctor had advised them not to engage in sexual intercourse temporarily.
He maintained that his decision was about respecting both his partner and the medical advice they had reportedly received.
Why Jarvis Questioned Him
According to Peller’s account, Jarvis wanted to know why he had not approached her when he felt sexually aroused.
The streamer said he explained the situation to her, pointing to the doctor’s advice as the reason he had chosen not to initiate intimacy.
The incident has attracted attention because it offers a glimpse into how the couple say they are handling changes in their intimate life during pregnancy.
However, the details of the encounter come from Peller’s own public account. Jarvis’s independent perspective on the incident has not been established by the reports reviewed for this article.

The latest disclosure has added another conversation to the couple’s public relationship story, with Peller explaining why he believes avoiding infidelity matters.
Is Masturbation Better Than Cheating?
Peller’s statement raises a question that many couples may approach differently: when partners temporarily cannot have sex, how should they handle their individual needs while respecting their relationship?
Some people may see his approach as a practical way of remaining faithful. Others may believe couples should communicate openly about intimacy and agree on what works for both partners.
What matters is that partners respect each other’s boundaries, communicate honestly and avoid pressuring one another into sexual activity.
In Peller’s account, the decision was connected to medical advice and his desire not to cheat on Jarvis.
Nigerians Have A Relationship Debate On Their Hands
Peller’s comments have given social media users another topic to discuss, particularly around faithfulness, trust and expectations within marriage.
For some people, his statement may represent self-control. For others, it may open a broader conversation about how couples navigate temporary changes in their sex lives.
Either way, the story is likely to prompt different opinions about what commitment means in a relationship.

If a married couple is advised to temporarily abstain from sex, is choosing masturbation instead of cheating a sensible decision, or should couples approach the situation differently?
