They've got pills for that now.

I don't know why everyone cares so damn much anyway. It not like it effects you in anyway if he is or if he isn't celibate.

Because it's a stupid thing to do. If Prince decided he didn't need to eat anymore (wait, didn't he already do that..? ) I'd be in here saying pretty much the same thing.

I have not allowed a man to touch me since 2004 and it will stay that way. I am much happier without all the heartache and agravation that comes with sex. If only men thought more with the head between their shoulders, as much as the one between their legs. As a vlind persone I will say one thing sex and drivin g are both over rated.

I really dislike the broad generalization you just made. It implies that men are incapable of thinking about anything other than fucking, and implicitly implies that it's not a subject that concerns women all that much. No wonder you've experienced "heartache and aggravation" because of sex, if that's how you think about people.

Why does there have to be any "heartache and aggravation" attached to sex? There doesn't. Period. The only way drama comes into the picture is if one or both partners had unrealistic expectations of the event. Heartache and aggravation can only happen if you allow it, and having such a clearly negative attitude about sexuality just opens the door for it to happen.

Why? just cause he is choosing to not have sex doesn't mean that you can't go,and sleep with as many people as you want,and if he ever did decide to give up eating,that again doesn't effect you,you could still eat all you wanted to. The only one that his choice is going to or should effect is HIM.

I bitch because I can.

No, seriously. I don't think it's a good idea. I think it's a deeply unhealthy way to think about sex and sexuality, to turn it from the bodily function that it is into some sacred thing and thus abstain to, what? Maintain purity?

meow85 said:

but that is just your opinion. You might not think it's a good idea,but it's his choice or his idea. For whatever reasons he made it,religious,personal,it's only going to effect him,so why do you care so much what he does? It not like you are going to change his mind with your posts,so why put so much energy into something you can not change?

The sensational headline for the clip is misleading.

He said he has not had sex in a couple of years. He did not say he was never having sex again.

It's his choice, and I think it's an unhealthy one. If he were to take up something most people would disagree with, like shooting heroin or kicking puppies, you don't think there'd be scads of Orgers voicing their dislike?

Prince has probably had enough sex 2 last him 7 lifetimes...
I gave up cookies n cream ice cream after makin myself physically sick on it 2.

Wow, i am so happy he released this article to straighten out all the rumors on his private love life. It heightens my respect for him and the stand he is taking on the controversial subject of celibacy.

I think sex has been overdone and too often taken for granted when that is and should be the most intimate sacred thing a woman and man can share. If u wait till u are married to give that gift to one another than you have time to build a strong friendship, spiritual foundation and mutual respect.

Imagine how much more powerful the act of sex becomes then!! A true exchange of love and powerful shakras. How beautiful!!

The one and only person you give every part of your being to, forever, that is one of the gifts of marriage instituted by a God who loves us all.

Wonderful news!! Keep doing the right thing Prince i support you.

And a Wedding.

those of yalll who are saying sex is overrated must not be doing it right! hell prince music hasnt been the same since he stop havin sex!

I believe P.

Why would he lie?

But. . . I believe he masturbates.

As a long time Prince fan I've often wondered if he is or has close to becoming a sex addict - in the same way that some alchohol and drug addicts use substances to deal with or cover up real issues that affect them.

He is a very sensual and sexual person and I dont believe being celibate will change this as sex is emotional and mental too, as well as physical.

He has hurt lot of women in the past through two timing etc. Maybe he just is trying to stop because sex is messing up his life and other peoples? Perhaps he feels its stopping him from meeting someone special. Any opinions?
