EXCLUSIVE: Too Hot to Handle's self-confessed 'horniest' star Christine Obanor, 26, reveals she went
Too Hot to Handle's self-confessed 'horniest' star Christine Obanor has revealed that she went nine months without sex after the Netflix cameras stopped rolling - claiming that her experiences on the show completely changed the way she views casual hook-ups.
The 26-year-old model from Texas was among the 14 singletons to take part in the latest series of the Netflix show and she made it all the way to the final with her love interest Louis Russell, 22.
However, since leaving the Netflix program, which was won by 23-year-old Elys Hutchinson, Christine has had an epiphany as far as her once-hot-and-heavy attitude towards love is concerned.
While viewers of the popular reality show may know Christine best for her very amorous on-screen displays, the model has now revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com that participating in Too Hot to Handle has completely changed her outlook on romance.

'I enjoyed the experience 100 per cent,' she said. 'I feel like I came in with a different mindset and changed so much after leaving it. I didn't expect to learn anything.
'I didn't expect to be on Too Hot To Handle in the first place and I didn't expect to be matched up with somebody, or to leave with a clearer mindset.'
'And surprising enough, Lana [the show's virtual host] did work,' Christine added, referring to the virtual host. 'I did go nine months without having sex. [I was the] horniest girl in the retreat. It is growth.'
She added that Lana did share some impressive words of wisdom that stuck with her even after she returned to normal life.
'Lana did teach me that I shouldn't always chase so hard all the time – even though if I do see someone I like, I will go for it,' she explained, but added that love is no longer the sole focus of her life - quit the opposite in fact.
'Right now, I'm just focusing on my career and on my next journey of my life.'
Looking back on her experiences on the show, Christine acknowledged that she initially leaned into being rebellious, something that she says helped her to 'cope' with the wild new circumstances she found herself in.
'I coped by breaking rules because I felt like rules were made to be broken,' she said.

Fresh outlook: Christine admitted she left Too Hot To Handle with a new perspective on romance and intimacy
'But as I was progressing, I was learning that I can find something more meaningful without the intimacy and without all the extra stuff. Lana did have a point.'
Christine added that she found the workshops on the show particularly helpful, explaining that there were times when the experience became very 'emotional' for her.
'I enjoyed the workshops too,' she said. 'I was opening up on so many levels and I was learning things about myself that I never wanted to confront on my own.
‘So, the workshops were very emotional for me. It helped me get a better understanding of why I am the way I am and why my heartbreak has led me to be loving the chase. I did not expect to learn anything, but it got really deep.'
Despite the fact that the series was filled with plenty of drama and in-fighting among the contestants, Christine says noting could be further from the truth behind-the-scenes, insisting that the women have all remained close friends away from the cameras.
'We all became very close and I didn’t expect to have such a great relationship,' she explained. 'And you’d be surprised with the amount of drama in our season that we’d still remain cool. We all have a very great relationship for sure.'
