Lenny Kravitz on unwanted sexual encounter he had as teenager: 'I wasn't traumatized'

I assume he's referring to a female?

Why the ambiguity about the person's gender?

To be trans inclusive, Rose.

[quote] “It was an experience and a lesson,” Kravitz replied. “Everything doesn’t have to be so…”

This is huge difference between GenX and GenZ.

GenX seems so much more laid back about sexual encounters.

Why does a 60yo man think he can or should start a new family?

Has Lenny had a face refresh or two?

Unfortunate he took after mom, though he appears to have had his skin lightened.

I seem to recall fro the trouser split that Lenny has tiny junk

He's a hot guy, but the make-up, jewellery and lace shirt aren't doing it for Mr.

Seems like he's got it together, but not many famous people are faithful, it seems.

Looks like some filler in the cheekbones and some eyework. Face looks a little puffy, so maybe recently and it hasn't had time to settle? The eye makeup isn't helping him. He's starting to look like an old queen, desperately try to look youthful. It's a shame; he got his looks from his mother, and I always thought Roxie Roker was a very pretty lady.

He says it didn't do anything to him in the long run, but his outfits usually say something is off.

Johnny Depp had a garage sale.

If it didn’t affect him, why did he write about it? That’s a pretty big step.

He has Ted Kennedy/Jesse Jackson syndrome - no matter what he does, that noggin is getting fatter as he ages. The swollen face and choker distract from that wide head. I wonder if he has a pencil neck. He always had lovely shoulders.

He walked a tightrope with full disclosure- if it was a man that assulated him, absolutely anything he says could be misconstrued as homophobic or that he encouraged it somehow. I admire how he carefully poised it.

There would be uncomfortable follow up questions, he may identify as something other than straight and this may be him dipping his toes into a different kind of sexuality now that his kids are grown. I’ve always thought he was handsome, I’ve dated several Black and Blatino men ruled by strong family and religious obligations steeped into them since birth. Being gay isn’t an option, and they don’t take it seriously as a representation of who they are.

In this day and age, we shouldn’t be asking people to define themselves within a strict construct of sexuality anymore. His actions as an ally speak louder. I’m also going to say Lenny and I grew up during the AIDS crisis, so that would’ve kept the lid on any childhood shenanigans he might have had as well.

Lenny once designed fantastic wallpaper. Confirming to me he is likely bisexual.

It's a pity he didn't become the superstar billionaire singer designer creative director, rather than Kanye.

I was molested.

R1. I have found in articles related to adult-underage sex partner/victim that if it was a hetro encounter they mention the other person's gender. If it was a gay encounter they don't. Or in this case Lenny could be protecting a publicly known person. But if that was the case he would not even talk about it.

If a teenage heterosexual male is molested by an older woman, it's "a learning experience". If the same teenager is molested by an older male, it's a crime and he's labeled "a victim of sexual assault".

Was this during his Romeo Blue phase?

I'm starting to think it was a guy he messed around with, R18.

He's sending-out a dog whistle to his molester that it's time to renegotiate the non-disclosure agreement.

He’s is still yummy looking and mama’s mussy would open like a lily in spring for him!

The encounter with Elizabeth was brutal, but it might have caused Joe to realize he wants more out of life.

I’ve had three or four relationships that made my life much more difficult than it needed to be. I feel like I missed out on a lot of life because I was always taking care of someone.

Joe is still very young. He can use this bad experience to figure out what he wants.

I knew that severe Hendrix fetish grew out of some trauma... ...also, I was always interested that it was his homely lead guitarist that cooked up all the killer riffs. Lenny just got to pose as a Hendrix but hired himself the skillset he required.

Also, pretty clearly not penetrated. Nothing violent about the encounter, probably felt good. No wonder he wasn't traumatized.

Oh, please. That bitch loved it.

I don't understand what he is talking about EVER. He is one of those musicians I am sad ever opened his mouth because he never has anything to say that doesn't reflect how self-absorbed, sheltered and uneducated he is.

Lenny very earnestly explains how penis didn't make him fly away!

The creeper into little Lenny's bed must've said, "Let's have a Live Revolution!"

Love...not Live. Iphone keypad, big clumsy fingers.
