With her bold fashion choices that often expose her modesty and the suggestive nature of her dance moves and clothing, it’s understandable to question Lady Gaga’s recent statements.
However, despite the singer’s tendency to dress nearly nude, she is encouraging her young female fans to dress modestly and to postpone sexual activity.
While speaking to Howard Stern on his radio show, Gaga expressed that, as a woman, genuine enjoyment of sex doesn’t begin until one’s mid-20s.
She told the host, “I have many young fans, and honestly, I don’t want anyone doing drugs, A, and B, you should really wait as long as you can before having sex because, as a woman, you don’t even start to enjoy it until your mid-20s.”
“When you’re 17, you don’t even know how to handle what’s down there.”
She further advised, “You should wait as long as you can before becoming sexually active.”
Dressed in an S&M-inspired ensemble featuring PVC thigh-high boots, a detailed bodysuit, a garter, fishnet tights, and a chunky gold chain adorned with keys, her outfit seemed to convey a message quite different from her statements.
Gaga appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, engaging in a candid discussion with the radio host about sexuality, drug use, and her family.
In addition to her request urging fans to avoid sex, the singer also shared her experiences exploring her sexuality with women during her brief time in college.
She confessed that she has largely stopped using drugs, other than occasionally smoking marijuana.
Stern probed, “You were involved in hardcore drugs, like cocaine and you loved ecstasy so much,” before adding, “So do you still get high?”
Lady Gaga firmly stated that she has moved past drug use but admitted to still using cannabis occasionally: “Well, come on. I really don’t do it very often, and I’m honest about it.”
She noted, “Using drugs was never a form of rebellion.”
Gaga elaborated, “I was so unhappy. I felt lonely, and there was something about the drugs that made me feel like I had a friend. I never did them with others; it was always done in solitude. I regret every line I ever did.”
