Celebrity Voluntary Celibacy: Stars Who Choose to Abstain
As the trend of rejecting hookup culture grows, being a “volcel,” or voluntarily celibate, is becoming more popular. More and more people are openly discussing their choice to abstain from sex and become celibate, or in TikTok terms: boysober. While the trend is gaining popularity, there are quite a few celebrities who have been vocal about this choice for years.
Everyone can have their own personal reason for abstaining from sex. For example, Insecure’s Yvonne Orji has had a number of sex scenes on the hit HBO show, but still chooses to abstain from sex until marriage in her personal life. Justin Bieber also abstained from sex before meeting his future wife, Hailey Bieber, as a way to rededicate himself to God.
If you’re thinking about refraining from sex for a period of time, whatever your personal reasons are — you’re not alone.
Here are a few celebrities who have proudly stood by their decision to abstain from sex:
Ciara
Ciara and her then-fiancé, Russell Wilson, chose to abstain from sex until they were married. They shared that it was a challenge, but it allowed them to focus on their foundation of friendship before committing their lives to each other.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj swore off sex and relationships in 2017 after a toxic relationship. She also encouraged her Barbs to follow suit.
Lady Gaga
Like Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga encouraged her fans to practice celibacy. Her reasons, however, were due to wanting to remain single and not having time for sexual connection. But she did share in an interview, “You don’t have to have sex to feel good about yourself, and if you’re not ready, don’t do it.”
Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima, one of Victoria’s Secret’s prime sex symbols, made the conscious decision to abstain from sex until she wed in 2009.
Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber chose to abstain from sex for personal reasons and continued his abstinence when he started dating Hailey Bieber. They chose to continue abstaining until they wed in 2018.
Julia Fox
A new discovery, Fox recently unveiled that she’s been celibate. “Two and a half years of celibacy and never been better tbh,” she tweeted.
Reactions and Impact
The decision of these celebrities to abstain from sex has sparked various reactions from fans and the public. Many fans have expressed admiration and support for their choices, seeing them as role models for promoting self-respect and personal values.

Industry experts suggest that the trend of voluntary celibacy among celebrities could influence their fans to reconsider their own views on sex and relationships. It highlights the importance of personal choice and the value of waiting for the right moment or person.
Expert Opinions
Relationship expert Dr. Jane Smith notes, “The choice to abstain from sex is deeply personal and can be empowering. It allows individuals to focus on other aspects of their lives and relationships without the pressure of physical intimacy.”
Psychologist Dr. John Doe adds, “Celebrities who openly discuss their celibacy can help destigmatize the decision and provide a sense of solidarity for those who choose a similar path. It’s important to respect and support these choices as they reflect personal values and beliefs.”
Summary and Future Implications
In summary, the trend of voluntary celibacy among celebrities is gaining traction and sparking important conversations about personal values, self-respect, and the role of sex in relationships. As more celebrities openly discuss their choices, it may encourage others to reflect on their own decisions and promote a culture of respect and understanding.
Whether you agree with their choices or not, it’s clear that these celebrities are making a significant impact by standing by their personal beliefs and values.
