A$AP Rocky’s struggle with sex addiction: “I can’t be embarrassed about it”
A$AP Rocky hasn’t shied away from his battle with sex addiction. The 36-year-old, who is in a relationship with Rihanna and has two kids with the singer, once opened up about his struggles with sexual intercourse in a conversation with Angie Martinez.
The rapper sat down with the radio personality in 2019 as part of her television series, Untold Stories of Hip-Hop, where he admitted he wasn’t ashamed about being himself. “I’ve been a sex addict for some time, yeah,” he said during their chat. “These are things that people stay away from and they don’t like to admit. I can’t be embarrassed about it. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don’t do nothing that I’m not proud of speaking of.”
When asked if he thought he was capable of a monogamous relationship, Rocky replied, “Yes, of course,” before explaining more about his addiction. “So, I was always a sex addict,” he said. “Probably [since] junior high. I was horny. I ain’t even have no sperm in my testicles yet, but I literally just was horny.”
Speaking to Esquire in 2018, Rocky revealed that he personally designed a $100,000 bed so that it was big enough for orgies at his home. “Fucking gigantic,” he said about the bed. “But I need it because I have a lot of orgies at my house with some very close female companions. Yeah man, lot of orgies. I’ve photographed and documented many of them. The women that I’m around are into that free-spirited shit like me.”
He added, “Usually guys are insecure with working, successful women, they can’t handle it when it’s on the other foot, you know? So they get with a guy like me — they know I don’t want to break their hearts or nothing. And why not? Let’s smoke some good weed in the teepee and have a fun time! Heh heh!”
Rocky dug even deeper and disclosed that he took part in his first orgy when he was just a kid. “My first orgy was when I was in seventh grade. 13 years old. Yeah, I was at Booker T Washington [Middle School] in New York City,” he said. “My dad had went to jail for drugs, so my mum moved us to a homeless shelter on 104th and Broadway.”
He continued, “Our school was like three blocks away, and they used to let us out for lunch, for 45 minutes. The first time was in this apartment building. We took the elevator to the roof, and everybody put their coats on the ground. There were like five girls and ten guys, and we all just took turns.”
Rocky went on to explain that people would laugh at him for having a small penis. “Hopefully you didn’t have a little dick because they’re going to tease you!” he said. “At that time, I wasn’t the biggest guy, but come on, cut me some slack, I was in the seventh grade! Fucking bullies! Nah, man. I love those guys.”
