Given the pop superstar’s overt sexuality, Lady GaGa advocating celibacy may come as a surprise!
The 24-year-old singer, whose songs and videos glorify sex and sexuality, told fans that she is practicing abstinence and urged them to do the same.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this – don’t have sex,” Gaga said in England, where she is promoting MAC’s Viva Glam Campaign to fight AIDS. “It’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people,” she says. “I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.”
One of her reasons for celibacy is the increasing number of HIV cases in women around the world.
Lady GaGa also says, “It’s okay to be whomever it is that you want to be,” says Gaga. “You don’t have to have sex to feel good about yourself, and if you’re not ready, don’t do it … It’s not really cool anymore to have sex all the time. It’s cooler to be strong and independent.”
