Sting is undoubtedly one of rock’s greatest artists and best-selling music artists of all time. With a music career that spans over five decades, the musician is primarily known for his exceptional music. However, he once unexpectedly made it to the headlines in relation to his sex life.
Sting is primarily known as one of the most successful musicians of all time. He has created numerous all-time hits such as ‘Every Breath You Take,’ ‘Englishman in New York,’ and ‘Shape Of My Heart,’ received 17 Grammy Awards. Nonetheless, today we’re here to break down an unexpected highlight of his career, the time Sting claimed that he has sex for seven hours. Let’s see the real story behind his statement.
Sting Admitted His Tantric Sex Habits In His Biography
Following the release of his 1998 biography named ‘Demolition Man,’ Sting’s crazy sex habits were all over the news as the biography implied that the musician would hold himself back while making love for several hours at a time. According to the book, the rocker’s sexual affairs lasted as long as seven hours which sounds out of this world.
After the publishing of the autobiography, his fans were incredibly shocked to hear the surprising fact about Sting’s sex life despite having heard dozens of extreme stories about other rockers’ sexual affairs over the years. Sting, on the other hand, explained the real story behind his ‘tantric sex’ years later and it made total sense once his fans heard the entire story.
Sting Later Debunked The Rumors Of Having 7-Hours-Long Sex
During an appearance on the series Inside the Actors Studio in 2014, Sting opened up about the aforementioned fact about his sex life. Seemingly, the real story behind his allegedly seven-hour-long sex sessions was just based on a joke. After the interviewer insisted that he explains what he really meant, Sting revealed what he actually does during seven hours.
Despite not lasting for seven hours, Sting stated that there’s some truth to his seven-hour-long tantric sex which is a spiritual act according to the musician. If you ask Sting, sex is the purest and best way of expressing your love for your significant other. In addition to this, the musician stressed the fact that seven hours also includes movies and dinner as well.
In his own words, Sting said:
‘If we had seven hours, I would demonstrate. Maybe not. But there is some truth to it. The idea of tantric sex is a spiritual act. I don’t know any purer and better way of expressing a love for another individual than sharing that wonderful, I call it, ‘sacrament.’ I would stand by it. Not seven hours, but the idea. Seven hours includes movie and dinner.“
Following the 2014 interview, his fans were relieved to hear that Sting didn’t actually mean that his making love sessions last as long as seven hours since it sounds quite inhumane. However, it was lovely for many to hear the musician refer to sex as a sacrament, unlike many other rock musicians who brag about having sex with as many women as possible.
