Ciara and Beau Russell Wilson practicing abstinence

So there are still some set of Americans that can practice abstinence? And come to think it is between two celebrities that are in love is something to shout about. 

Ciara and Russell Wilson are still holding fast to their beliefs and have yet to get ‘down to business’. While abstinence may come easy to some, Ciara tells Cosmopolitan that it requires a lot of strength and determination.

How’s the whole abstinence thing going? 

It’s going pretty good. We’re hanging in there. I’m not gonna lie. I’m human, so it is not easy, especially when I look at him and I think he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen — that I’ve ever laid my eyes on, to be honest. I’m like, Look the other way! Look the other way!

But he’s such an awesome guy and the cool thing is that every day, we’re growing with each other. We get to have really healthy conversations and focus on each other as people. That is very important to me and him. It’s very valuable. We’re just enjoying ourselves and going one day at a time and praying and staying positive. Being strong here!

So, what exactly does abstinence mean to you? 

You get to hug and you get to have a nice good kiss, but you have to be careful not to go too far so you don’t end up in the place you’re trying to avoid being in. Strong, strong, strong, strong! Just the strongest resistance to temptation.
