Five years and counting. I’m just not cut out for casual sex or promiscuity. And I haven’t found anyone I desired a committed relationship with for 5+ years, and until I do I will stay celibate. 🤷
I’ve been celibate for over 12 years now. 13 years on August. I stopped letting people use me sexually. There’s people that get offended of my celibacy, but I didn’t like being used all the time.
@@s.p.baughman7885 Exactly. And someone who will not be with him because of his fame or money, which would mean that this would be a person close to his age and perhaps successful in a way.
@TG-qe3ly , I’m a female and open as a bisexual. Majority of my relationships were with men, but they mostly used me for my body and deny there was never any relationship. 🤦🏻♀️… I was raped by a “disabled man” in August 2011. I realized most of my relationships were men who just liked to use me. I did have a relationship with a married woman that was using me for government benefits only. 👩🏽🦯➡️👩🏽🦯🍿
Good for him! It's not worth sleeping with anyone unless they're on the same wavelength as you and you don't find people like that often. Celibacy is better than being with someone who isn't right for you
This! 🎯 You've worded it perfectly. I've been celibate for 11 years now. It's not worth it if no deep and. genuine connection. But people are superficial and so sex-driven nowadays.
I totally agree with that, sex with an aligned partner is AMAZING! Much better than without it.. Sex with a wrong person is so awful celibacy is so much better of an option!
For you there is only black and white. 0% or 100%. Abstinence or sleeping with anyone you can get. What a small cognitive world. The eternal soul mate seekers...lol.
Im 61, played in bands in the 80s and 90s and lived the full sex, drugs and rock n roll lifestyle. Not had sex in 5 years and don't miss it. I feel more at peace too.
@ErrolCodlingI know and completely understand that not having sex is insane but one night stands, friends with benefits and casual sexual relationships without any genuine emotions and commitment have become so common that when a person keeps their sexual instincts in control because they want to save themselves for a special someone with whom they will have a deep bond it's seen as weird.
I followed the same pattern 10 years behind you! I took up the keys in 1984, played in bands throughout the 90's and early 2000's...and I too went through a 6 or 7 year period of celibacy resulting in my spiritual rebirth as well. It was one of the best decisions of my life even it was hard for awhile. It culminated in me finding my wife, still with me after 17yrs. Notice how nearly ALL the people posting about this including Lenny himself keep mentioning the same ballpark of years. 5, 6, 7...usually somewhere in that neighborhood. Lenny is awesome for publicizing this. This has the potential to bring true spiritual awareness back into this country and many parts of the world.
23 yrs of no sex. It's a spiritual thing. Why sleep with anyone for the sake of " I have feelings " All singles and unmarried should be celibate, it prevents so many hurts and bad feelings.
I agree, after my husband and I split, I remained celibate, it's been 7 years...I can't be with just anyone..like you said it's a spiritual thing...those who know, Know. There's nothing casual about s€x...it's supposed to be sacred, but we don't treat it as such.
Not trying to be rude or a anything. But how else can we get a cool head as men. I do it mostly for that. Clarity. My ex gf told me she could go sexless for months and masturbate if she doesnt feel comfortable. I guess women can do that being more emotions drive . But if I dont get my interaction for a week lets say I cant sleep and will often think about flirting and getting that done instead of focusing in my business.
12 years of celibacy and proud. Investing on becoming the best version of myself is the best decision I ever made. Congratulations for you dedication, Lenny! Happy birthday! 🥳
I'm just past 4yrs celibate after a lifetime of promiscuity and I have a spiritual vision like I've never had before, seeing people in their true light, seeing myself in my true identity and flaws I wasn't aware of before. This experience has been invaluable. My life is forever changed by it. BUT it's getting harder every day (pun intended)! I hope I'm not still waiting 9yrs to find my wife 😩 I'm really encouraged by Lenny's story though. If a man like him can do it maybe I can too
I'm at 5 years myself. Everyone has their reasons. I'm just happier and emotionally/spiritually at peace. Lenny clearly has similar feelings. Good for him.

@@nataliep6385ha! Tell that to the 66 year old I “know.” He likely has all walks of life throwing themselves at him. He’s stunning, talented and a genuinely good human.
Sex is sacred. (S)ynergistic (E)nergy e(X)change. Be very selective. Celibacy is wonderful but after 5+ years it can go on forever and that’s no fun. 😅
Not so unusual or a big deal. You can be anyway you want to be. Ive been celibate for 26 years. It's because I want to wait for marriage and dont want to just marry for the sake of sex. So i applaud his decision and hope it brings the woman that is divinely intended for him into his life. Lastly, i hope the media dont take advantage of his honesty and humanity by trying to use this one detail to embarrass him. I admire any man who is unafraid of showing he is in touch with his heart, spirit and emotions.😊
Celibate for 26 year's? How old are you? If you're 26 then you haven't held off for 26 year's, you've only been legally ABLE to engage in consensual sex for ten years...
I handled his underwear once... I was working for a LTL delivery service and I had to go pick up his luggage from an FBO at the airport. When I got there, the pilots literally tossed one of his big trunks out of the plane and onto the tarmac. Intentional or not, when it hit the asphalt it's lid sprang open and flung the poor mans unmentionables everywhere. I'm picking up gold, silver, tiger and leopard print mens bikini bottoms left and right, and tossing them back into the box as fast as I can before the wind blows them all away. I doubt anyone ever told him.. Handling Lenny Kravitz's underwear was one of the strangest stories I had, but it doesn't seem so strange anymore. He seems like a great down to earth guy.. I doubt he wears the same kind of underwear anymore either. Oh yeah, I forgot to add.. It's been 14 years for me that I have abstained, and I don't regret it. Go Lenny!
bikini bottoms” OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!! Who prefers briefs to boxers when he has to pee? LEN-NY KRA-VITZ! Who looks like he’s 30 though he is 60? LEN-NY KRA-VITZ! Who makes panties drop when he enters the scene? LEN-NY KRA-VITZ! Who jags it to death and blames celibacy? LEN-NY KRA-VITZ!
Missing the point. This was a spiritual thing. Not like someone shaking their ass in thong, Glad he said it and is proud of it. We need to talk about this stuff. Too much for you, then go watch something else.
Right on, and very cool of him to share. Just saw in Apple News that singer Mya has been celibate for like 7 years too. It’s been about 2 months for my husband and me and it is really refreshing. We’re focusing on being friends and partners RN. At 40, I’ve had plenty in my life, I don’t miss it (at least not right now).
I applaud you/husband for re-shifting the focus of your marriage from sex to friendship. That is highly commendable and not spoken about enough. Sex almost ALWAYS feels like a chore during marriage, and here's something else: I find it less desirable. The key is finding substance in your partner (which it appears you're doing) and trusting that perhaps the two of you can remain loyal. We've become so over sexualized as a society that we forget the BASICS of compatibility.
God bless you all! That is fantastic and makes my heart happy. It takes a special person to do what is right instead of following common and wrong ways of the world.
Woman here, 35 years of age. I am on 3 years without it and I don't miss anything about it and I do not long for it. People's behaviors are problematic, plus sometimes the men are lousy with it lol, as in they don't know what the hell they are doing lol, so I would rather save myself the hassle and actually be fully aligned with a person who is quite grounded and has done self work (similar to Kravitz) and someone who isn't entering my life to wreak havoc. It just doesn't enthuse me when it is reckless. I am also very particular about hygiene so yea....I am not quite in a rush to be that intimate unless I understand the kind of upkeep you maintain on yourself lol. When I am interested revisit it again, I am sure I will enjoy it.
Actually, the opposite is true. I got a new boyfriend and I can't wait to look young and healthy again. From all the stuff we're gonna do. I was glowing with radiance before with my last boyfriend. I'm so popular.
60 year old here. Was celibate for 2 years before getting married. Chastity is still not easy and in a way even more difficult than when I was younger, but it’s still worth it when you truly believe in its value. I’m also happily married so obviously not celibate but still chaste (ie faithful to my wife). Fight the good fight.
This is how I met you through this video when you first put it out 7 months ago and since then I've gotten to know you regardless if you think it's all or not. I also fell in love with you, the music and lyrics. The fact that you're 9 years celibate the fact that you don't chase women and yet he's staying on the stage and everyone loves you. I don't know how you do it with all the people that love you but I understand cuz my left of marriage 13 years ago and since celibate myself since.
0:01 ME TOO! FOR THE SAME REASONS! THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME! I AM ALSO FEELING GREAT IN PEACE HEALTHIER...I ONLY HAD POSSESSIVE/CONTROLLING/UNEASY MEN IN MY LIFE AND I WANT SOMEONE NORMAL AND NICE AND HONEST...NO HURRY!!!
Ive been going strong for 2 years now. It’s a decision that came after my life was spiraling out of control. Anywho, I think im a better human being now. Pray for me y’all.
2 yrs + celibate. Broke it for wishful thinking. Regret it. But back on my celibate road, more firm with myself on not breaking it on hopes. I wish i never stopped. It confirmed that everyone messes up but you can restart your journey. Dont give your energy to anyone who's not giving you the same you offer in return.
It allows your mind to be unencumbered with something that isn't productive or constructive and as necessary and omnipresent as we're conditioned to think. It's primal and something you do then move on from to focus on the bigger priorities in life.
It's not unproductive if you use your sexual Energy in favor of your creative mind and a healthy lifestyle. Seeing it as Temptation to avoid is a waste Of Energy. Better use it to heal and norture immagination
A lot of people here are proud of being celibate but just make sure it is something natural and not an avoidance of underlying issues or repression which is not healthy.
Sleeping around even if you never plan on getting married is exactly why you need some celibacy. Being alone more means controlling your creative energy more because the toxicity to operate solo is suicidal.
he is more in shape and good looking than most people in their 20's and its insane, people should inspire to live the way he does. his recent music videos have motivated me to better myself at 37 years old. drinking less, stopped smoking, eating better, exercise. thank you lenny for inspiring me.
I'm 3 years without and within the last year I didn't even have to use my toy. But I hope it doesn't end up being 9 years😂🤣 But it's scary out there, people cheat and don't use protection and jeopardize your health(married or not)😔 It would be nice to be able to just go out and easily pick a good mate, but it's not that easy. So if I can't get what I want, I don't even want it.
I LOVE LENNY FOR THIS!!!!! I am about to - by God's grace - enter my third year of celibacy. People will try to put you down and call you an incel. But when you realize you are becoming morally strong and you are starting to not objectify people, you become proud of yourself. By mastering himself, Kravitz has become a beacon of love and positivity for his whole family!!!
Wow! This inspires me. I'm also an attractive guy (41 yo) and hadn't had sex in 8 years now, more or less unvoluntarily (because I'm not a dating apps guy, and it just didn't happen). Before that I had sex with many women. You learn to deal with it and you also learn alot about yourself. But sometimes it's hard, living without the cuddling even.
That’s why he looks so healthy, it’s a spiritual power that you keep when you’re selective with who you have sex with or even if you have sex at all! Semen retention offers for your sacrifice a very healthy body & mind!
Same. Not as long as lenny but Ive also been celibate for a few years which has made me highly spiritual. I refuse share my energy with low vibe, unhealed toxic people otherwise itll be transferred on to me which i will not let happen. Saying all that, Im not anti meeting someone though, its just difficult to meet someone who has standards.
I've been beating myself up for not being successful with women. I have recently realized that I was down on myself for not doing what OTHER people want me to do. I respect Lenny for being open about this. Obviously he can be with many women if he wanted to. But that's his choice.
I don't understand these comments and this praise for celibacy. If you are happily married then intimacy is a big part of that relationship and keeping it healthy. If it's because you aren't married, have or are starting a family, maybe that's what you should be focusing on instead of abstaining from what is essentially a sin.
Even long timed married couples have menopause to deal with and it kinda means sex sucks it hurts, you have no desire to be with someone physically. But you do need more mental support wish men knew that……..
I'm with him and I get it! I'll be 5 years celibate in November. After cutting spiritual ties and doing multiple spiritual cleansings, I feel like a brand new person! I can't connect with just anybody, it's serious out here!
I love this. It is a spiritual thing. Becoming whole on your own and then finding another that is also whole… real true spiritual love between another human is the reward! ❤
This is so impressive.😀🎄🎁🔥 I want to follow these men's lead. .50 cent. These men are wealthy and handsome and can have most women in the world; they are choosing to give their bodies a break. focus on their businesses, spirituality, and life. This is awesome. ❤🎁🎄 These two have my full attention. I will support their music and their TV series.👍🏽🔥🔥🎁🎄😀
I’m so glad that he said that to let people know that you can do it. I’ve been celibate for eight years I have peace of mind. Yes, it’s hard for two years after that so easy and so peaceful feel spiritual.i have the most close relationship with the true God ..I love myself my kids my family and we have the best relationship ever
Learning and practising celibacy is essential to connect with an universe of invisible wonders that silently accompany us, while detaching ourselves from the distractions and emptiness troubling people living with the standards of the ordinary world. Although born and rise as catholic, from my late childhood to my late teens I really learned the basics of celibacy from teachings of Tibetan Lamas, Mahatma Gandhi, Khrisnamurti and others from the far east. In my mid twenties I started a deep dive in catholic teachings and practices, which further strengthen a path framed in celibacy and monogamy.
7 yrs for me and don’t even want sex again. The thought of even kissing someone makes me want to vomit. After being in a committed relationship and having children then getting cheated on then being promiscuous to being celibate. Just living life the best I can 🌟
Practicing abstinence is a choice both men and women can make. Once you have done it for awhile it becomes easier and easier and you start to look at who you allow in your space much closer. Being selective is a great thing when it comes to healthy boundaries. This is not a new concept it’s simply that people have become so accustomed to sleeping with people for fun and while dating it seems like a foreign concept.
He's right. You have to be selective of who you share your energy with. Energy transference is real.
RIIIGHT! But 😂 I don't believe him 😂... I haven't had sex in years, too...and it's right, though...it's GOLD for the Spirit! Not....that we wouldn't have options, though 😂...and it could change anytime lmao.... Energy transfer is more than real! Be very cautious....whom you let touch you! 🙏🏼🙌🏼💫

He likely has all walks of life throwing themselves at him. He’s stunning, talented and a genuinely good human.
@@nataliep6385 I know men who had sex till they 85 lots of men in 60 still have sex and it is hard for them to restrain from sex
I’m a woman I am 37 years old, I haven’t had sex in 9 years. I feel great
Why ?It’s not bad things having sex.
@@SeminarioMAE😂😂
I don't think it works the same for a woman lol yall get evil when yo don't have sex that long
@@heru32288actually it’s men who don’t act well without sex, they set their energy on violence shit like crimes and fights
36, I have not in 11 years.
Sex is sacred. (S)ynergistic (E)nergy e(X)change. Be very selective. Celibacy is wonderful but after 5+ years it can go on forever and that’s no fun. 😅
My friend I’m out there spreading my seed literally every night of the week
I really didn't know SEX meaning synergistic energy exchange that's really cool never would come to mind it meant more than three letters
That's why he looks so good. Since I've been celibate it's like Benjamin Button over here.
😂

@@Steve-mp7by anyone that uses emojis is a kid
Imagine the unbelievably copious amount of sex he had to say “no more”
that part
There is an undeniable flex in the mix here.
I hate when ET uses clips of the celeb saying something from years ago and applying it to todays topic 🙄
I feel that!
Me too
He realized he should have been selective. And now he's regained his energy.
Not so unusual or a big deal. You can be anyway you want to be. Ive been celibate for 26 years. It's because I want to wait for marriage and dont want to just marry for the sake of sex. So i applaud his decision and hope it brings the woman that is divinely intended for him into his life. Lastly, i hope the media dont take advantage of his honesty and humanity by trying to use this one detail to embarrass him. I admire any man who is unafraid of showing he is in touch with his heart, spirit and emotions.😊
Celibate for 26 year's? How old are you? If you're 26 then you haven't held off for 26 year's, you've only been legally ABLE to engage in consensual sex for ten years...
26 years as an adult? 😢
@@LaAeriallol ..indeed!
Well said.
Much better to be selective
Celibacy includes no masturbation ,no porn,no strip clubs,no sexual anything
Im serious!!!!!!
@sosa that is not true. Celibacy just means that you're not having sexual intercourse!
@@truthseeker5941so if it’s stroked by the hand only while thinking about vagina that’s being celibate? No
Maybe open a dictionary….
@@Devi_Seona @exactly. All those that liked the post need to open one and read too.
Masturbation is fine I wouldn’t recommend it for people in relationships but that doesn’t break you’re celibacy
I haven't had sex in 8 years. He is absolutely right you learn a lot about yourself and you have a lot of strength.
This proves that men can succeed at celibacy too!!! Well done Lenny!!!
Lenny is one of the coolest people that ever lived!!!
I handled his underwear once...
I was working for a LTL delivery service and I had to go pick up his luggage from an FBO at the airport. When I got there, the pilots literally tossed one of his big trunks out of the plane and onto the tarmac. Intentional or not, when it hit the asphalt it's lid sprang open and flung the poor mans unmentionables everywhere. I'm picking up gold, silver, tiger and leopard print mens bikini bottoms left and right, and tossing them back into the box as fast as I can before the wind blows them all away. I doubt anyone ever told him..
Handling Lenny Kravitz's underwear was one of the strangest stories I had, but it doesn't seem so strange anymore. He seems like a great down to earth guy.. I doubt he wears the same kind of underwear anymore either.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add.. It's been 14 years for me that I have abstained, and I don't regret it. Go Lenny!
Great story!
bikini bottoms”
OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Who prefers briefs to boxers when he has to pee?
LEN-NY KRA-VITZ!
Who looks like he’s 30 though he is 60?
LEN-NY KRA-VITZ!
Who makes panties drop when he enters the scene?
LEN-NY KRA-VITZ!
Who jags it to death and blames celibacy?
LEN-NY KRA-VITZ!
@Loveabounds.and you are mean
What’s wrong with that kind of underwear? 😂
ROFL Thank you for sharing this.
Entertainment Tonight turned into TMI Tonight
Missing the point. This was a spiritual thing. Not like someone shaking their ass in thong,
Glad he said it and is proud of it. We need to talk about this stuff. Too much for you, then go watch something else.
lol
He’s just trying to sell music. 😂
Right on, and very cool of him to share.
Just saw in Apple News that singer Mya has been celibate for like 7 years too.
It’s been about 2 months for my husband and me and it is really refreshing. We’re focusing on being friends and partners RN. At 40, I’ve had plenty in my life, I don’t miss it (at least not right now).
I applaud you/husband for re-shifting the focus of your marriage from sex to friendship. That is highly commendable and not spoken about enough. Sex almost ALWAYS feels like a chore during marriage, and here's something else: I find it less desirable. The key is finding substance in your partner (which it appears you're doing) and trusting that perhaps the two of you can remain loyal. We've become so over sexualized as a society that we forget the BASICS of compatibility.
36 and still waiting until marriage
Same girl!
It’s gona happen for us soon! When it does it will be so worth the wait!!
Iam here
35
God bless you all! That is fantastic and makes my heart happy. It takes a special person to do what is right instead of following common and wrong ways of the world.
Woman here, 35 years of age. I am on 3 years without it and I don't miss anything about it and I do not long for it. People's behaviors are problematic, plus sometimes the men are lousy with it lol, as in they don't know what the hell they are doing lol, so I would rather save myself the hassle and actually be fully aligned with a person who is quite grounded and has done self work (similar to Kravitz) and someone who isn't entering my life to wreak havoc.
It just doesn't enthuse me when it is reckless. I am also very particular about hygiene so yea....I am not quite in a rush to be that intimate unless I understand the kind of upkeep you maintain on yourself lol.
When I am interested revisit it again, I am sure I will enjoy it.
That's why he looks so young and healthy
Actually, the opposite is true.
I got a new boyfriend and I can't wait to look young and healthy again. From all the stuff we're gonna do. I was glowing with radiance before with my last boyfriend. I'm so popular.
20 days celibate, energy is starting to rise
😅😅😅🤣
When you reach 20 years you became Dragon Ball
He is almost 60. Sex is not a major priority for mature people either way. He seems fine and healthy. Great for him.
He started at 51. Stop making it look easy.
60 year old here. Was celibate for 2 years before getting married. Chastity is still not easy and in a way even more difficult than when I was younger, but it’s still worth it when you truly believe in its value. I’m also happily married so obviously not celibate but still chaste (ie faithful to my wife). Fight the good fight.
This is how I met you through this video when you first put it out 7 months ago and since then I've gotten to know you regardless if you think it's all or not. I also fell in love with you, the music and lyrics. The fact that you're 9 years celibate the fact that you don't chase women and yet he's staying on the stage and everyone loves you. I don't know how you do it with all the people that love you but I understand cuz my left of marriage 13 years ago and since celibate myself since.
0:01 ME TOO! FOR THE SAME REASONS! THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME! I AM ALSO FEELING GREAT IN PEACE HEALTHIER...I ONLY HAD POSSESSIVE/CONTROLLING/UNEASY MEN IN MY LIFE AND I WANT SOMEONE NORMAL AND NICE AND HONEST...NO HURRY!!!
👍🏼🙌🏼such great peace of mind, right!?
Amazing peace of mind
That's why he looks so young,no hassles
I love him even more now
Never paid much attention to him but that's pretty impressive 😂
🧢
Very impressive. Guys who sleep with everyone (to me) are icky... this is a great quality to have. He has a great personality!
@@AzizaPoggiworld Its 🧢
Ive been going strong for 2 years now. It’s a decision that came after my life was spiraling out of control. Anywho, I think im a better human being now. Pray for me y’all.
🙏
I love that he shared that. I'm trying the abstaining thing and so far I love it.
2 yrs + celibate.
Broke it for wishful thinking. Regret it.
But back on my celibate road, more firm with myself on not breaking it on hopes. I wish i never stopped. It confirmed that everyone messes up but you can restart your journey. Dont give your energy to anyone who's not giving you the same you offer in return.
There’s a book that that talked about fountain of youth and celibacy was the key.
It allows your mind to be unencumbered with something that isn't productive or constructive and as necessary and omnipresent as we're conditioned to think. It's primal and something you do then move on from to focus on the bigger priorities in life.
It's not unproductive if you use your sexual Energy in favor of your creative mind and a healthy lifestyle. Seeing it as Temptation to avoid is a waste Of Energy. Better use it to heal and norture immagination
I love that he understands discipline and the reasons for it. Not a invitations mean come, sometimes you have to respectfully decline.
A lot of people here are proud of being celibate but just make sure it is something natural and not an avoidance of underlying issues or repression which is not healthy.
the truth-teller has entered the discussion....
Lenny : I haven’t had sex in 9 years!
Me: hold my 🍺 (celibate since the early 1990s).
That's great. Everyone talking celibacy.
I'm loving this thread!
Same❤
His SOUL is absolutely stunning. Take notes, humanity.
I am.
Sleeping around even if you never plan on getting married is exactly why you need some celibacy. Being alone more means controlling your creative energy more because the toxicity to operate solo is suicidal.
This is true. He was a bit of a "player" and he saw himself in a harsh light.
The sexiest man in the world, and he is celibate? I love you so much. ❤❤
he is more in shape and good looking than most people in their 20's and its insane, people should inspire to live the way he does. his recent music videos have motivated me to better myself at 37 years old. drinking less, stopped smoking, eating better, exercise. thank you lenny for inspiring me.
I'm 3 years without and within the last year I didn't even have to use my toy. But I hope it doesn't end up being 9 years😂🤣
But it's scary out there, people cheat and don't use protection and jeopardize your health(married or not)😔 It would be nice to be able to just go out and easily pick a good mate, but it's not that easy. So if I can't get what I want, I don't even want it.
I LOVE LENNY FOR THIS!!!!!
I am about to - by God's grace - enter my third year of celibacy. People will try to put you down and call you an incel. But when you realize you are becoming morally strong and you are starting to not objectify people, you become proud of yourself. By mastering himself, Kravitz has become a beacon of love and positivity for his whole family!!!
A man with self-control 🔥❤️🔥
His dad saying he’d do the same thing is the epitome of a dad being jealous of his son.
i got him beat as its been about 13yrs for me!!!
6+ years. I’m in the last years of my 20s and feel blessed to have gained such wisdom as early as I did.
I'm waiting till marriage or if I don't get married I'm staying a virgin. Sharing yourself with someone is a big deal
It really is, then on top of that I don't need any spike proteins
@@lsago hahaha
Wow! This inspires me. I'm also an attractive guy (41 yo) and hadn't had sex in 8 years now, more or less unvoluntarily (because I'm not a dating apps guy, and it just didn't happen). Before that I had sex with many women. You learn to deal with it and you also learn alot about yourself. But sometimes it's hard, living without the cuddling even.
I’m 6 years im 24. Honestly it’s not that hard you just need to keep busy. 8 years is a lot, I respect it keep up the work man
Hope you guys hooked up.
That’s why he looks so healthy, it’s a spiritual power that you keep when you’re selective with who you have sex with or even if you have sex at all! Semen retention offers for your sacrifice a very healthy body & mind!
Same. Not as long as lenny but Ive also been celibate for a few years which has made me highly spiritual. I refuse share my energy with low vibe, unhealed toxic people otherwise itll be transferred on to me which i will not let happen. Saying all that, Im not anti meeting someone though, its just difficult to meet someone who has standards.
Wow that is special. His daughter and his new love.
He seems happy too.
Lenny brings back growing up memories.
celebrities always have a "new love" and the "new love" almost always bites the dust within a year to 3 or 4 years....
I've been beating myself up for not being successful with women. I have recently realized that I was down on myself for not doing what OTHER people want me to do. I respect Lenny for being open about this. Obviously he can be with many women if he wanted to. But that's his choice.
More power to him and I respect him for having the courage ❤
I don't understand these comments and this praise for celibacy. If you are happily married then intimacy is a big part of that relationship and keeping it healthy. If it's because you aren't married, have or are starting a family, maybe that's what you should be focusing on instead of abstaining from what is essentially a sin.
Call Sherri Shepherd!
🤪
Lol. Watch her discuss this next week.
She LOVES her some Lenny !!! Lol...😂😂😂💀💀🤩 Lenny better run...
Its the best thing you can do for yourself..ever..if you are single.
This gotta be the saddest comment section I’ve ever seen
Yeah totally
But we are sadder, as we don't know why they lie about it.
This is sooooo attractive in a male
Neither have I!!
😂 welcum in the club lmao! NOT...that we wouldn't have options...right! 😂 My clean Spirit is more important to me now....
It’s crazy ppl are sharing their bodies and transferring demons amongst each other for a temporary enjoyment of sin.
Even long timed married couples have menopause to deal with and it kinda means sex sucks it hurts, you have no desire to be with someone physically. But you do need more mental support wish men knew that……..
@jdos5643 It’s crazy (and filthy), but it’s not nearly as psychotic as believing in demons and sin.
I'm with him and I get it! I'll be 5 years celibate in November. After cutting spiritual ties and doing multiple spiritual cleansings, I feel like a brand new person! I can't connect with just anybody, it's serious out here!
Spiritual cleansings . Lol. I'm African and I don't even believe in that shit. 😂.
9 years...them hands gotta be putting in work 😂😂.
😂
I love this. It is a spiritual thing. Becoming whole on your own and then finding another that is also whole… real true spiritual love between another human is the reward! ❤
Wow, really feeding families for generations with this piece 😅
This is so impressive.😀🎄🎁🔥 I want to follow these men's lead. .50 cent. These men are wealthy and handsome and can have most women in the world; they are choosing to give their bodies a break. focus on their businesses, spirituality, and life. This is awesome. ❤🎁🎄 These two have my full attention. I will support their music and their TV series.👍🏽🔥🔥🎁🎄😀
I’m so glad that he said that to let people know that you can do it. I’ve been celibate for eight years I have peace of mind. Yes, it’s hard for two years after that so easy and so peaceful feel spiritual.i have the most close relationship with the true God ..I love myself my kids my family and we have the best relationship ever
Learning and practising celibacy is essential to connect with an universe of invisible wonders that silently accompany us, while detaching ourselves from the distractions and emptiness troubling people living with the standards of the ordinary world.
Although born and rise as catholic, from my late childhood to my late teens I really learned the basics of celibacy from teachings of Tibetan Lamas, Mahatma Gandhi, Khrisnamurti and others from the far east.
In my mid twenties I started a deep dive in catholic teachings and practices, which further strengthen a path framed in celibacy and monogamy.
And why do we need to know this?
Exactly
Because it's a cover story for something bigger.
Him and Lisa should just remarry it’s like they never divorced.
Come on now… so the girlfriend he has (had) in CDMX was just a cuddle friend? ☹️
He's lying...I don't believe this...he's an effing Celebrity!
@@KatharinaK117Right ! And, no different from the rest of us when it comes to personal decisionst!
“Celebrity”
“Celibacy”
Hmmm, pronoun trouble…
LMFAO!
7 yrs for me and don’t even want sex again. The thought of even kissing someone makes me want to vomit. After being in a committed relationship and having children then getting cheated on then being promiscuous to being celibate. Just living life the best I can 🌟
Why is this so shocking? I havent had sex in 34 years....and Im 34 years old.
Because it's harder to resist after you've had a taste. But you're the wise one for never getting started
You need to get laid lol 😂 j/k lol
That means you don’t know what you’re missing, but he does which makes it quite shocking actually.
@@LaAerial Can't miss what you never had 😊!
🙌🏼 celibate here too… happy here now… its spiritually 🙏🏻♥️🌹💋
I’m in the same boat, feel safe, feel free. ❤
Hes so humble & down to earth its saying online his daughter split up fro her man recently
Semen retention is a lifestyle!
Love this thread. 553 days here.
The real question is what celibacy means to each person.
Does it also exclude masturbation?
Me neither,maybe we should try together….lots of energy to share😂
He has lived the life of a rockstar I’m sure he’s not missing anything at this point
A real strong man very rare to find!
Practicing abstinence is a choice both men and women can make. Once you have done it for awhile it becomes easier and easier and you start to look at who you allow in your space much closer. Being selective is a great thing when it comes to healthy boundaries. This is not a new concept it’s simply that people have become so accustomed to sleeping with people for fun and while dating
it seems like a foreign concept.
