As rocker Lenny Kravitz is about to begin an international tour to promote his first studio album ("It's Time for a Love Revolution") in four years, he has also been promoting something very un-rock 'n roll like--celibacy. But the man who became famous for his flings with hot actresses and songs like "Justify My Love" believes celibacy is, well, a revolutionary act to strengthen his spiritual journey.
In what I found to be a surprisingly thoughtful interview on "CBS News Sunday Morning," Kravitz talked about his Jewish as well as Christian roots--though he identifies himself as a Christian--and spent most of his time with CBS correspondent Michelle Miller discussing the vow he made to God three years ago to stay celibate.
Despite all of his success, it seems Kravitz still yearns for a permanent love in his life, and he sees this act of celibacy as a way to "help me find the right person." He said he would not "waiver" in this decision because he believes God will honor the choice he has made.
It's an idea the likes of Kid Rock and Bret "Rock of Love" Michaels might want to try on for size. But then again there probably isn't much interest in selling a reality show with lack of sex as a premise.

CONGRATULATIONS LENNY FOR YOU DECISION. I BELIEVE THAT SEX IS NOT ALL IN LIFE. THAT'S WHAT THIS GENERATION THINK, BUT SEX IS MORE APPRECIATIVE WHEN YOU WAIT AND KEEP YOURSELF VIRGIN UNTIL YOU GET MARRIED. IT'S A WONDERFUL THING. THE WEDDING IS SOOO ROMANTIC AND THE HONEYMOON BETTER.
I WAS MARRIED AT 20 YEAR OF AGE, I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I WAS A VIRGIN WHEN I GOT MARRIED, AND PROUD TO SAY THAT MY HUSBAND WAS VIRGIN ALSO. OUR HONEYMOON WAS THE BEST ON IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

There is nothing wrong with being celibate. God said that we only needed food, shelter and clothing for survival. I've been celibate for so long that people think that I am gay. Of course these people aren't saved by the blood of the Lamb and I know that God knows that I am not gay. Anyone can have sex with anyone at anytime. I don't want to be tainted by one night stands or having sex without the benefits of marriage. I gave up sex, drugs and rock-n-roll to rededicate my life to Jesus Christ. My choice is to remain focused on my faith walk with my Lord and Savior.

When God sees that you are doing things his way. He will move in your life in a mighty way. I too have done things out of the will of God, but it is not to late to start new as long as your still breathing. May God bless you in everything that you do.
