Bieber said he turned to God after he recognized he had “a legitimate problem with sex.”
“He doesn’t ask us not to have sex for him because he wants rules and stuff,” Justin told Vogue in 2019. “He’s like, ‘I’m trying to protect you from hurt and pain.’ I think sex can cause a lot of pain.”
The “Peaches” singer confessed he previously had a sex addiction, and his abstinence was a way for him to “feel closer to God.”
“Sometimes people have sex because they don’t feel good enough. Because they lack self-worth. Women do that, and guys do that. I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I really felt it was better for the condition of my soul. And I believe that God blessed me with Hailey as a result. There are perks. You get rewarded for good behavior.”
The two tied the knot in September 2018 at a New York City courthouse wedding.
