Tim Gunn: “I Haven’t Had Sex in 29 Years”

Truth rating: 10

(ABC)

Tim Gunn announced that he hasn’t had sex in nearly three decades during Tuesday’s episode of “The Revolution,” which he co-hosts on ABC.

The style guru and “Project Runway” personality made the revelation during a panel discussion on “jumpstarting your sexy.”

“I haven’t had sex in 29 years,” said Gunn. “Do I feel like less of a person for it? No! Not even remotely.”

He explained that the reason is “largely psychological.”

Gunn said that his last sexual partner was “impatient” with his performance, also explaining that it happened “at the cusp of AIDS,” when a lot of people “retreated” from sexual activities over health concerns.

It was a very personal – and somewhat emotional – moment for Gunn, who seemed comfortable discussing his long-term celibacy.

    Pretty cool he has the guts to admit this in a society driven by sex.

    I think celibacy is a choice not discussed nearly enough.

    Atta boy! If you don’t feel like it, if there’s no one that you really want to have sex with – why do it? Why being ashamed of that or being ostracised for not having sex? Some people just don’t get it

    I agree with all of you. I personally haven’t had sex in over 10 years. I have 4 children so I haven’t missed out on anything. obviously. But now, I have a 10 year-old son who is autistic. And raising my 3 older children. There just wasn’t time or energy for anything else. Plus, I don’t trust anyone around my kids. Too many freaks and out there. I’d rather have my kids safe and deal with a little loneliness than be a selfish b***h who needs a man in my life to make me complete. I am complete.

    I’ve never married and an in my 50′s and haven’t had sex since 1987. Sometimes I get a yearning for it but not enough to just have it with anyone. I haven’t met the right man to want to marry so I remain celibate. You get use to it and I still have a wonderful life.

    Good for him but wow that is a long time to not have sex, how sad that his last one had to be marked with a lover who was impatient with him though? If and when he ever does get another lover, I hope the next lover will treat him tenderly and be kind that way if he goes another long time without it he can have a fond memory of the act.

    There is too much psychology in making sex: men want to assert themself, women want to feel loved. If you take all that psychology away, sex itself is meaningless (exept of making babies). Moreover: you can’t die because of the lack of SEX, you can die because of the lack of LOVE.
