There are plenty of reasons to wait a while until having sex, and these 5 female stars have all done it at least once and have shared their reasons for making their man wait for them. Proving you don’t have to put out to keep the passion alive, these celebrities just didn’t want to jump into sex without getting to know their other half, while others even opted to wait until after marriage because they felt it was the right thing to do. Be it a few weeks or even years, these stars waited until they felt ready to do the deed before rushing into sex when they weren’t ready. Find out their reasons below!
Alicia Keys
Alicia made one of her ex-boyfriends wait a full year so she could figure out if he deserved it: “I made him wait a year because my body is too beautiful to be violated by someone who doesn’t deserve it.”
Lady Gaga
Gaga, who is currently dating actor Taylor Kinney, believes you have to make guys wait in order for the moment to be special: “It’s always been important to me, as it’s for my generation, a most relevant consideration when you’re growing up. Sex doesn’t mean nothing; sex means so much. I Hope that young women know that sex is still a big deal, and they don’t have to put out soon. If they want someone to court them for a while before they give it up, that’s wonderful and beautiful, and a man will only respect you more for honouring your body. I am that way.”
Holly Madison
When she was younger, Holly stuffed out her bra so her boyfriend never knew she was naturally flat chested, so she had to reverse the effect by slowly shrinking her boob size and thus has to make her man wait: “I always stuffed my bra. In fact, I had a boyfriend for years, and we moved so slowly. We didn’t have sex for a long time because I had to gradually bring down my bra size so he wouldn’t find out I stuffed my bra.”
Mariah Carey
Mariah made her husband Nick Cannon wait until marriage: It’s not that we had no intimacy. It’s just me, and my feelings. I definitely don’t want to push it on anybody else. But we both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is.”
Melanie Brown
The former Spice Girls singer says she made her producer boyfriend Stephen Belafonte wait for months because she wasn’t ready: “If someone makes you wait, that’s a good thing. Just having sex can cloud your brain. I wasn’t ready to get into any form of intimate relationship. And I wasn’t ready to introduce a man to my kids unless I was sure of him. My feelings for him crept up on me – he was supportive and his friendship meant everything to me.”
