R&B singer Mýa has revealed her seven-year celibacy journey, which she shared during an interview on 'Way Up with Angela Yee.' She emphasized that abstaining from sex allowed her to gain significant 'mental clarity' and shift her mindset regarding relationships, moving away from societal pressures to be in a relationship or marry. Mýa believes in prioritizing self-love and personal growth over romantic involvement, stating, 'Love is beautiful, but you must start with yourself.' Additionally, she addressed the challenges of being perceived as a 'sex symbol' in her early career, which influenced her decision to embrace celibacy. This trend of voluntary celibacy, often referred to as 'boysober,' is gaining traction among women seeking to reclaim control over their lives and desires. Mýa's experience reflects a broader cultural shift towards introspection and personal empowerment in the context of relationships.
