Ciara talks about no sex before marriage

A lot has been reported about how singer Ciara and husband Russel Wilson abstained from having sex before marriage, but readers did not get anything much right out of the horse’s mouth. Finally, now, when the couple is expecting their first child this year, Ciara chose to speak out about why they chose that path.

The singer told Cosmopolitan South Africa, “I believe that when you focus on a friendship, you have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for a relationship — and once you know you’re really great friends, where you share the same values or the same outlook on life, it sets the tone. Knowing that you’ll always have the friendship and that you can always go back to it is very important,” she said, and added, “We women think with our hearts and with our minds. When we see a guy, we envision what he’s like and whether this could be something special. Guys see us from an exterior point of view — that’s something I learned along the way as a woman... You shouldn’t feel like you have to give your body away to get someone to like you.”
