7 Days singer Craig David has revealed he has been celibate for the past two years.
The 43-year-old has opened up about taking a break from intimacy to “heal his own issues.”
The singer also confessed that without the “distraction” in his life his creative sparks are flying.
Craig describe his break from sexual activity as “good vibes” as and has avoided lot “drama” in the past 48 months.
“It has been really good for me because man, the studio music, the creativity, it’s like, no drama just vibes!”, he told TMZ.
“I know to the date, It’s been two years now for me [without sex]. But in a funny way, much as I was like ‘Wow!’ to myself for the moment, [my] creativity has been on a 100, on a max, for those two years.”
He revealed he had gone celibate in June 2023 after previously boasting about his sex life in the hit 2000 single 7 Days.
Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, Craig said one-night stands can lead to “many different traumas.”
“I realised that me not having healed my own issues meant I was never in a position to be open to someone else.”
“So I realised I had to pull back from all of this and this has been the past couple of years really.”
“Which does mean not outwardly going on dates, the sexual interactions are going to have to stop now, just cut that off.”
“Sometimes you gotta pull it back, man. I’m 42 years old now, things are different”, he added.
“If we can’t deep dive, if I can’t have a conversation and at the same time laugh like crazy with you, and see the beauty from within you, then we’re just gonna be doing the same game that I’ve been playing since day one.”
“I don’t want that anymore.”
