Julia Fox on Why She's Been Celibate For 2.5 Years

well you just revealed that you've been two and a half years cibit what made you want to one do that but then also just reveal that well actually I had been talking about it but I guess it didn't get like picked up in that way but I've been very I've been like very open about it and then when I saw the the Bumble ad thing going down saying like whatever it was like yeah right like celibacy isn't an option or whatever I was like well actually you know know I'm but also celibacy isn't the right term because um celibacy is like you're you're not having sex for religious purposes so I'm not celibate because I'm like you know a follower of Christ I'm I'm abstinent I'm abstaining from sex because I felt like with the overturning of Ro v Wade that if they were going to take away our rights to our body and our Reproductive Rights well then this is my way of taking them back you know that and I feel like more women should really get on that because we hold the power you know over our you know for the most part not in the right in the law but of our body we can say no I feel like not enough people are talking about the overturning of roie Wade and the fact that if there is an election in November that goes in the way that is not the Democratic way it's going to really hurt our country for for generations to come yeah it's going to take a really long time to come back from it and I I not in our lifetime yeah oh yeah no definitely not in our lifetime um and it sucks because you know Biden is just not a good candidate and I can see why people aren't excited to go out and vote for him you know but it's like at this point we need to vote for the lesser of two evils like it sucks that our elections are so Bleak and unin spiring but you know obviously I'm going to vote for Biden even though I really I get it think he's a [ __ ] idiot you know he here's what I'll say genuine human being with a really good heart and surrounds himself with the right people consistently and has a track record of doing the right thing by the American people no matter what obviously questionable things happen that you may not agree with but overall look at the entire picture and vote in that direction because at the end of the day let's get inspired by candidates in the next election while this election's utilized to really ensure that our inable rights yeah that like so many people men women children minorities they require these rights to live safely and freely and they all are so so genuinely genuinely at risk like it's not like yeah I'm not like mincing words it's like this is not a [ __ ] joke like everything's on the ballot coming November and I think it's hard for people to see that because you know so many of even your listeners probably live in major cities and but it's like no it's like all the people that are not in a city that are going to really really suffer the most you know they're not going to have the resources at all and by the way with what's happening right now W with the Supreme Court and where it's going yeah it's it's changing rapidly and like the states being able to decide all that's changing rapidly it's like we were really fortunate we did a a terrestrial radio show for 10 years and we were on like 90 different like big and Tiny cities all across America we travel to a lot of like places right in the middle and you're right people forget about what goes on there like I call New York and La the armpits of the country and the people who are living in the armpits they have their headphones in like they just live a different life it's a totally different existence you know and it's like yeah we'll always have our the free clinics and the things but like someone down in Mississippi won't you know and it really is life or death and we need to vote with those people in mind too because it's just like yeah I feel like people in major cities just have blinders on like they don't realize how freaking fortunate they are totally totally and and like now I feel bad for complaining that I grew up in New York by the way if you need to register to vote you should headcount.org we'll also put a link below I really ask to do so and just to understand that like it's like Row versus Wade it's the the idea of health insurance trans rights everything in life in society and culture is on the ballot in November and they want to take everything away totally and they want these crazy radical evangelicals to take over the country and it really will be hand handmaid's tail like it really will oh it's really it's already becoming handmaid's tail I'm sweating right now yeah but I don't want to bring up sweat cuz I know you have a condition know my Hy hyperhydrosis but like that that anger and that rage is why I haven't had sex in two and a half years that's because how could I open my legs to a man who's not standing up for me amen you know what I mean just got gooseb yeah like no you're not on my side so you can't come inside period it's my next song for my mix tap honestly yes yes an election mhm do you do you feel like the longer you go without it the less you think about it yes absolutely I think what like the first year I was like oh wow like six months oh my God eight months and then I was like [ __ ] it's really going to be a year and now I like don't even think about it like I don't care it doesn't interest me it's kind of like when you quit something like cigarettes like harder in the beginning and then you're like counting more and now it's like I realized like when that whole Bumble thing was going out I was like oh my God it's been almost 2 and a half years it'll be be it'll be 2 and a half years at the end of May so and we're all basically almost at the end of May so you know and I've really truly never been better my [ __ ] smells like roses I've never I haven't had BV I haven't had a yeast infection I haven't had any of the issues that come with having sex with men no offense you guys um anybody feel but like it's true you know I'm healthy and I'm centered and I'm focused and I feel like nothing good ever comes of from sex you know like it's just always a headache in one way or another and it's like just not worth it for me I I relate I do I so I haven't brought it up in many interviews because it's been a while but I was a virgin for 30 years and I'm only 31 no really oh my God I love that that's so special but you know what that's why you've been so successful had your radio show and all your things because you haven't been distracted by dumb [ __ ] and there was a moment in time where I was like oh like maybe I should focus on this and like it stressed me out for like six eight months maybe a year and then I was just like content with just existing and like I don't know living and like if it happened happened and you just forget about it you forget exactly but in the meantime you've put all your energy toward creating spaces where artists can come and a safe space for them to be themselves and you know like there's 's just so many amazing things you can do when you're not having sex what a beautiful way to just look at my Virgin thank you so much
