Guess How TV Host Tim Gunn Feels About 29 Years Of No Sex

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tim Gunn has had a serious dry spell. The 58-year-old ‘Project Runway’ star says that he hasn’t had sex in 29 years and that he is completely content with that.

Gunn revealed his extended state of celibacy bliss Tuesday on the ABC talk show The Revolution.

“I haven’t had sex in 29 years. Do I feel like less of a person for it? No. Not even remotely,” said Gunn, 58, to applause from the audience.

The TV host blames psychological issues from an old relationship as the reasons for refraining from sex. “It’s very personal,” he said. “I was in a very intense relationship for a long time. And my partner ended it, saying that, quite frankly, he was impatient with my sexual performance.”

Gunn also explained he was fearful for his health since the AIDS epidemic was exploding at that time. “I think a lot of people simply retreated because they were concerned about their health. I certainly was,” he says. “And I’m happy to be healthy and alive, quite frankly.”

Despite his longterm lack of intimacy, Tim Gunn says he’s “a perfectly happy, fulfilled individual,” adding that he has not ruled out the possibility of having another sexual relationship one day.

“I have feelings. It’s not as though I’m some barren forest,” he says. “I don’t want to imply to anyone that I have a mandate that says no sex. I don’t. I don’t know what’s around the corner.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
