Craig David has revealed why he hasn't had sex on Monday, didn't have sex on Tuesday, nothing at all on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday, or any on Sunday.
Seriously though, the singer has bravely opened up about his decision to step back from intimacy in order to 'heal his own issues'.
The 43-year-old said he has been able to avoid a lot of 'drama' in the past two years by not having sex, and that, in general, it's been 'good vibes'.

Despite enjoying himself in his 20s and 30s, the singer insists that being celibate has been 'really good' for him.
"It has been really good for me because man, the studio music, the creativity, it's like, no drama just vibes!," he told TMZ.
"I know to the date, It's been two years now for me [without sex].
"But in a funny way, much as I was like 'Wow!' to myself for the moment, [my] creativity has been on a 100, on a max, for those two years."

Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, David explained how one-night stands can be dangerous in 'many' different ways.
The '7 Days' singer said: "I realised that me not having healed my own issues meant I was never in a position to be open to someone else.
"So I realised I had to pull back from all of this and this has been the past couple of years really.
"Which does mean not outwardly going on dates, the sexual interactions are going to have to stop now, just cut that off."

He added: "Sometimes you gotta pull it back, man.
"I'm 42 years old now, things are different.
"If we can't deep dive, if I can't have a conversation and at the same time laugh like crazy with you, and see the beauty from within you, then we're just gonna be doing the same game that I've been playing since day one.
"I don't want that anymore."
Meanwhile, the founder of The Eastern Philosophy, Nina Cheng, has spoke about the downsides of 'insufficient sex'.

The expert said: "Ancient Chinese physicians believed that women were more likely to experience greater sexual frustration since they were subject to different societal norms and may not have felt as permitted to express themselves sexually compared to men.”
The NHS also says that having an active sex life can provide health benefits such as ‘improving the condition of your heart, reducing stress and improving mental health’.
