In England to promote MAC’s Viva Glam Campaign to fight AIDS, Lady Gaga recently spoke up in favor of celibacy.
“It’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy is fine,” said the pop icon. She later added, “It’s not really cool anymore to have sex all the time.”
According to The Frisky, Lady Gaga is just one of many celebrities that have, in recent years, claimed abstinence. The list includes many big names, including Adriana Lima, Robert Pattinson, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and the Jonas Brothers.
Other celebrities have also been heard promoting chastity. In a 2009 interview, Jamie Foxx talked at length about the benefits of abstaining from sex, saying that “abstinence is cool.”
The trend continues to gain steam, and it definitely appears that there is a certain “cool factor” associated with not having sex.
In a related story, I would like to introduce you to the coolest man alive:
I sincerely love Lady Gaga with her extraordinary dresses but she definitely let herself down now being seen out in see through underwear.
I have found that it’s hard to preach abstinence while wearing see-through underpants.
