Good interview and she does say he did try to hit her on her so all this stuff about P being celibate does not mean he was not trying to get with these young ladies.

I am not sure why people on this board believe he was flying these young ladies up to Paisley Park just to discuss music. In addtion, he could not have been that strung out.

You can be in a relationship without it being sexual. Maybe Prince was just being his natural self and she thought it was flirting.

I've never heard of this kandance springs but I've never subscribed to this notion of Prince, The celibate gentleman. I'd say he was neck deep in it.

I've never bought it either!

Well you can date someone without being sexual in nature.

Well you have to date them first to get to something sexual and he was still actively working at it.

Perhaps not being successful because of his age.

Many people who worked for him said he 20 something young ladies up to PP and was seen around town with them. It means he was still putting the bait out.

So she claims he was hitting on her and right away her words are believed over his? Yeah, cause she has nothing whatsoever to gain from having her name romantically linked with Prince.. Sigh.. I have more and more respect for the man the longer I spend here. The amount of nonsense he had to put up with..

Exactly! Pretty sad that a guy can't work with women with out people thinking he wants to bang them. Sigh. [Edited 8/8/16 8:57am]

It is because of what she stated. No one on Prince org put words in her mouth.

Maybe he just liked having company to talk, travel, hang out with. Maybe he just felt more comfortable with women. These are talented women also.

Like I said earlier, maybe he was just being flirty. Did he tell her he wanted to date her and have nookie? We'll never know because he's not here to refute or confirm the allegation.

Some of you are hell bent on making him a Eunuch. I would hope he had some fun in the last year of his life and that it was not filled with pain 24/7.

Honestly, I hope he was getting some. I hope he was dating and having fun. I hope he had someone special in in life to say I love you to and hear it from. I stated this a month or so ago. I'm just saying, Prince seemed a naturally flirty guy and it could've been mistook for something more. Then again, he could've hit on her just as she stated.

We just believe what he said himself rather than all kinds of rumours, hearsay and guesswork.

Well he never said much about who is was dating or having sex with Do you think he never went on dates or had sex because he did not have a press conference or mention it in a interview?

No, sweetie, I believe he was celibate because he actually said so in an interview in the Rolling Stones.

He said he tried but admitted to falling short. Funny how you take what he said as the Gospel but not what this chick has to say. Anyway a bunch of us were discussing this on the "What happened to PP confessions topic." The wiredness of some Orgers when it comes to discussing Prince and his sexuality. He was one of the most sexual mainstream artist in popular music but anytime anything concerning his sexualityi comes up people on this board go off the deep end. Topics get closed and people act butt hurt. I could understand when he was alive since he checked out the board. I don't get why this is still going on.

Are we adults here?

*Looks at Kandace* Yep, I'd flirt with her too and I'm a straight woman. What's the big deal? Sounds like he flirted (which we saw evidence of in 2014), she turned him down, and they were friends. Maybe it went beyond flirting, maybe not. *shrug*

Now I can't really understand her turning him down, but I guess not everyone wanted to climb Prince like I did.

He talked about celibacy once, in a Rolling Stone interview in January 2014. At that moment, he claimed to be celibate (but even then, "no one is perfect" and "I go back and forth"). He never said how long he had been celibate, and he never said it was something he intended to keep up for any period of time.

I HOPE he was getting laid on the regular at the end of his life -- if not with Kandance Springs (who only said she didn't "quite" let it happen whatever that means ), then with Judith Hill or anyone else who he enjoyed (and they enjoyed too!).

Anyway, this is the Rolling Stone quote:

You've said that you're celibate.
Yeah, I'm celibate.

Like, for real?
Well, it's all physical; all of that then turns into other things. Libido is energy. I go back and forth. It's like fasting: it's a practice and you get better at it over time, you know, but no one is perfect. …

Honestly I'm not surprised. I'm not sure what "I didn't quite let him" means but ok. She's young and she looks a lot like Andy Allo and we know he likes his girlfriends to look similar. I remember watching an interview with Maya from Shameless Maya after Prince's passing and she said he had lots of women come in an out during the 2013/2014 era that she worked with him. She said he tried to hit on a lot of them so I mean it's not a surprise that he'd try to get with Kandace. Kandace worked with L.A. Reid in the past too. I'm wondering if this is the girl he's referring to when he said he introduced Prince to someone that he wanted to meet.

Thanks for sharing that second quote Kara! I hadn't seen that 2008 quote.

I have a hard time picturing that the dude was truly celibate from 2008 (or "years" earlier) through 2016. I mean, 10 years and no action? This is Prince we're talking about.

And honestly, I HOPE he wasn't! a healthy sex life is important for everyone!

He talked about it in 2008, too...

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2008-09-25-prince-21-nights_N.htm "I'm single, celibate and sexy," he says with a laugh. "I feel free." [...] On a love song, his voice takes on yearning as he pines for the feel of a lover's lips and the move of her hips. "That's what happens with years of celibacy," says Prince, survivor of two broken marriages. "It all goes into the music." He pauses. "This time, it has to be the right person."

Agree. Ten years? I don't know about that.
