Julia Fox has opened up about being celibate for two years - and how she's never 'been better'.
The actress made the admission in response to a billboard that had dissed celibacy.
Videos had been circulating online showing a billboard in Los Angeles for the dating app Bumble.
The ad read 'A vow of celibacy is not the answer'.

The ad got people talking online, and Fox weighed in with her verdict.
Commenting on a TikTok video, the Uncut Gems actress wrote: "2.5 years of celibacy and never been better tbh."
The 34-year-old's candid confession had fans pouring in to applaud her honesty.
"I never knew Julia and I would have so much in common," one admirer wrote.
"Queen behaviour," another added.
"Gosh, [as] if I didn’t think you could give me another reason [to] admire you as much as I already do," a third chimed in, as another wrote, "Julia you’re my hero."
"True that Julia, I’ve been celibate for 20 years myself and it gets better each year," a fifth wrote.
"Yesss Julia Fox!!! Same. What a stupid ad … celibacy is truly a special kind of power," another added.
Fox has previously opened up about her decision to swear off sex in an interview with Elle.
Speaking to the magazine in 2023, she said: "I want to be left alone. Like, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t bother me."
In 2022, she'd said on TikTok: "I'm at a place where I'm like, 'F*** it. I don't give a f***.'
"Also I, like, have a kid already so it's like I did what I was supposed to do by society standards, my vagine is retired.
"The doors are closed, shut, sealed after what she went through."
Before she took a hiatus from hanky panky, Fox's romances were covered extensively in the press.
Most famous of all was her relationship with Kanye West, who she dated for six weeks at the start of 2022.
This was during his tumultuous divorce from Kim Kardashian.
However, Fox would later admit that they never had sex with Kanye in an interview with The New York Times.
The two had originally met at a New Years Eve party in 2021.
West soon had her feeling like Cinderella, as he filled up with her room with clothes.
However, it wasn't to be and they split in February 2022.
Fox would later liken him to a child in an interview with Drew Barrymore.
Speaking on Barrymore's show in December 2023, the actress said: "My son has to be first. It just became too much, like I didn’t sign up to have two babies, you know?"
Before West, Fox was involved with Drake and was married to Peter Artemiev.
It was with Artemiev that she had her son, Valentino.
