South Africa House music DJ, Hazel Kotu doesn’t want sex for now. On Wednesday, DJ Hazel, who is also a businesswoman, celebrated 12 months of abstinence from any form of sexual activity.
The 29-year-old from Pretoria told Daily Sun she took a vow for religious/spiritual reasons and thinks the commitment was easy for her. She said she was guided by a greater sense of purpose, not accomplishment and celibacy.
“Sex was made for marriage. Unfortunately, people go with the ways of the world. Casual sex and infidelity are a normal part of society, I wanted something different. Choosing celibacy won’t change the price of petrol, but I’ve had peace that surpasses all understanding and clarity on a lot of things since I started in May 2023. I’m content with who I am. Now, I understand sex, something I’ve never done before,” said Hazel.
Hazel said she has always known what she wanted to do, but feared the unknown, the change it might bring in her life and how she would handle it.
“My plan was to do it in April as part of my birthday celebration, but it didn’t happen. I knew it was time the following month and had to decide. Little did I know that I’m making the best decision for myself. My life hasn’t been the same since. I’m grateful,” she said.
Hazel said she took the vow while she was single and she has had two failed talking stages to date.
“The first guy wanted us to go on a weekend away for our first date after two weeks of talking. I didn’t tell him, but I could read where the situation was going, so I put a stick in it before it went further. I tried a different approach with the second guy by disclosing upfront, but that seemed to be the only thing he was looking forward to,” she said.
She added that this has been a busy year for her.
“This year, I’m graduating from Wits Business School for my Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration. My podcast Within with Hazel is doing well,” she said.
