When Cyndi Lauper preached about practicing safe sex, Lady Gaga told the Daily Mail she's currently not having any at all. "I can’t believe I’m saying this - don’t have sex," Gaga told the UK publication. "I’m single right now and I’ve chosen to be single because I don’t have the time to get to know anybody. So it’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine."

Though Gaga has spoken and sang about her seemingly voracious sexual appetite in the past, it seems like she's changing her tune. She adds, "Something I do want to celebrate with my fans is that it’s okay to be whomever it is that you want to be. You don’t have to have sex to feel good about yourself, and if you’re not ready, don’t do it...It’s cooler to be strong and independent."
