Singer Mýa says being celibate for 7 years 'was necessary': 'It's a very spiritual thing'

R&B singer Mýa does not regret being celibate for seven years. In fact, she believes it "was necessary." The 44-year-old woman noted that the lack of sex took the "pressure" out of her life.

"Just doing without, it shifted my mindset," Mýa shared of her journey. "It was no longer a focus. The rush to be in a relationship, the rush to be married, the rush to be in something because that's what you're taught to do — to have kids or procreate. And I think there's a lot of pressure on women to be able to do that." "Just doing without, it shifted my mindset." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Mýa went on to share that self-love was important to her during this period.
