Yet another thing us women have to worry about when having sex. Thankfully Lady Gaga enlightens us all (emphasis mine):
She may ooze sex appeal during her on-stage performances, but Lady Gaga is a little more conservative when it comes to her life in the bedroom.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the eccentric singer, who recently reunited with her ex Luc Carl, says she is trying to avoid sex for a rather off-beat reason.
“I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they’re going to take my creativity from me through my vagina,” the 24-year-old says in the magazine’s September issue.
Well damn. I thought having sex just fractured your souls like horcruxes. Now I’m losing my creativity too? What other attributes have I been leaking out my genitalia?!
Hey now, it’s a more dangerous procedure than you’re making it out to be. Once the creativity’s been sucked dry, we could end up inheriting all sorts of things from you ladies. Van Gogh, for example, was driven to suicide over a bout of “borrowed” PMS.
I always thought Lady Gaga was a man herself?
She could’ve just stopped at, “I have this weird thing.”
MM..Makes ya think? Don’t it Jen!…mmmm..a man’s penis sucking out the good stuff in my brain….LMAO
Ugh, not this tired old “rumor”.
I miss punk rock.
I have a similar worry that my intelligence leaks out of my penis… But that would make wanking bad too…
I don’t know if a small amount of iron is an attribute…
I guess that’s why, when we’ve soaked up all that creativity, we immediately fall asleep. Girls are exhausting.
I preferred her when she was still Marilyn Manson.
Well, oxytocin does have some effects on our brain’s ability to think creatively.
To play off a Homer Simpson line, “Genitalia, the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems.”http://laughinginpurgatory.blo…
I can see how that could be a problem. She should just try anal instead.
Not all that different than the male sports prohibition against having sex the day before/of a competition because it will sap their energy. In fact, now that I think about it, it is more common than you might think with creative types, though the specifics change with gender. The one question that keeps circling back in my mind is ‘What kind of relationships has this poor woman been in that have screwed her up like this?’
No, no. It wasn’t the Horcruxes that fractured the soul, but killing. The Horcruxes just captured the broken bits of soul.
Well, it may not be as bad as all that. It might be as simple as being distracted by teh horny, and having half your mind working on creative positions rather than thinking entirely about lyrics and costumes and such…
“Vitality,” I assume.
Transphobic and nasty.
Sounds like Pandora’s “box.”
Lady Gaga has creativity?
I think it is more a concern with being exhausted and lacking sleep than anything else.
Well, that certainly explains why I haven’t been writing lately. Too much consistent sex in my life. I think I’ll yell at my fiance for stealing my creativity when he gets home… Don’t think I’ll give him any context while I’m yelling, either. Seems like it’d be more interesting that way.
Very funny!
It’s a bizarre way of saying it, but I think I know what she means. A relationship can consume a lot of your energy, and if you’re trying to focus on being a creative professional, you may not wish to divide your attention thusly.
Yeah, despite how odd her wording is, I can relate.. I get a whole lot less done when i’m focused on the person I’m spending time with. So much more gets done when I am single.. A) more time on my hands and B) I’m generally in need of a good outlet for frustration.
I think you just made my day. :D
“I thought having sex just fractured your souls like horcruxes.”Please tell me someone has already turned this idea into a Harry Potter rip-off porno. Or at least a fanfiction.
She may have a point but its the wrong way around.Chinese Daoists developed a theory that men lost “chi” when they ejaculated so they went to great lengths to develop methods to avoid this with Daoist yoga. So, in their eyes, women were the ones getting all the goodies.
Clearly, Lady Gaga’s lover is a Sorcerer of most epic proportions. But clearly not the smartest sorcerer, or he would steal his creativity from someone other than Lady Gaga. (/cheap stab)
Lady Gaga oozes sex appeal? Is that what that is?
Considering the quality of songs she’s run of late, she might consider having sex again.Sorry, Gaga, but you’re no Beyonce. Or, Christina. Or Madonna. And….even Olivia at 60 would kick your ass. Anthony
My penis once shoplifted a box of Good ‘n’ Plenty’s from Woolworth’s. Gaga speaks truth.
Help me design a study…We need a bunch of horny artists and a reliable metric for quantifying creativity.Not that correlation implies causation or anything, but it seems like doing art increases a person’s odds of getting laid. Art is often the impetus for opening dialogue between two people. The more people you talk to, the better your odds of finding a good lay among them. So I see potential for a biological basis to the lady’s outlandish sounding claim. Let’s try science!
