Lenny Kravitz Giving Up Sex

Rocker Lenny Kravitz has given up sex!
The star, who has been linked to everyone from Nicole Kidman to Madonna, has been celibate for three years because he wants to wait until marriage.
He tells Maxim magazine, "(It's) just a promise I made until I get married. Where I'm at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that's the way it's going to be. I'm looking at the big picture."

Lenny, I'm really really inspired and motivated by your assertion because thats the path I'm on as well. Yes!! And really, this is the first time that I've seen an African American man come out in public and proclaim he's celibate. I'm totally inspired! Yes, I'm looking at the big picture as well. Thats important. 5 minutes of pleasure amounts to very little in the grand scheme of things. When I tell men I'm celibate, I hear all types of things, mostly negative, but I've learned that people are threatened because it forces them to look at their own lives, and they don't want to do that. So they would rather lash out instead of look inward and learn from other people's lives and experiences. Why is it that the only way you can express yourself to someone you care about is sexually? Is it a lack of control? What does that say about your emotional, physical, and spiritual intelligence? I realize that I will be hated because I stand for something, and I'd rather be hated, reviled and talked about because of standing for something I believe in strongly, rather than just saying and doing what everyone else wants. I'm not a clone or a follower. And I believe that the body is sacred and spiritual. Sharing that part with my husband will be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life and its something worth waiting for... Thanks again Lenny...
