No sex for Rivers Cuomo |

Most rock stars brag about how much sex they’re having, not how much sex they’re not having. Perhaps that’s part of what sets Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of popular rock group Weezer, apart from the rest of the pack. In a recent interview with Maxim’s music magazine, Blender, Cuomo admitted that he’s been celibate for well over two years.
Rivers made a vow to abstain from sex for two years, but as the deadline passed several months ago, he’s decided to keep on going. "It's been two and a-half years now, actually. The vow is over, but I wanted to keep cruising,? Cuomo told Blender. “Abstinence doesn't require as much self-discipline anymore. We never had any serious groupies, anyway. Our generation got screwed."
Cuomo shouldn’t blame his dry spell completely on his generation, though. The nerdy, soon-to-be Harvard grad may be the poster boy for indie rock geek chic, but that’s not really the sort of thing that wins the ladies over. Plus, songs like “Tired of Sex? on Weezer’s celebrated Pinkerton album don’t really make much of a case for the guy.
