46-Year-Old Actress Lisa Raye McCoy Is Now Celibate

Ain’t it a little late for that? Lisa Raye is on a quest to be mentally intimate.

According to CocoaFab reports:

We rather love LisaRaye and her keep-it-real way of delivering a message, yes?

Cocoafab got to hang out with her recently on the set of her hit VH-1 show “Single Ladies,” and the 45-year-old stunner talked about how she’s trying something she’s never done before – not having sex.

“I’m in a new place. I’ve tried everything but celibacy, and I really want to know what it feels like to be touched by someone with a mental touch and not a physical touch,” she shares. “I want to know what it is to build the foundation of the friendship for real, to have my best friend and not because we’re just intimate, but because we’re mentally intimate. So I’m waiting for that person to come into my life. And when I get myself together, I know God is gonna bless me with that, because I don’t want to come with extra baggage. I’ll come with some, but it’s not fair to him to come with a whole bunch.”

So where did this new enlightenment come from? Life, she says. We first were introduced to LisaRaye in the 1998 film, “Player’s Club,” where she portrayed a hot-bodied dancer named Diamond. Over the years, she’s mostly be associated for her striking features, and she’s rather over it, she says.

“When men meet me, they’re in awe of the image. I’m so turned off by that. Automatically I’m like, ‘Boy move.’ You know what I mean? Baby, bye. Because now you’re not gonna give me a real chance because you’re like, ‘You do look good in person.’

It’s like, ‘OK. How many times can I say thank you? But you don’t know I can be a great friend? You don’t know I can cook. You don’t know that I’m a nurturer. You don’t know that I prefer to stay at home and watch a movie and pop my own popcorn. But because the image is the strong, confident woman that’s like, Bam! In your face. Ay, you ain’t giving me a chance automatically.’

So a lot of my guy friends I have to go: ‘A ha ha ha ha!’ the whole time. I can be a good friend. Hello! So I want someone to know me, to learn me. I want to start dating the man that I’m gonna marry. I want to start having some fun with someone that I know I’m gonna be with. I don’t play any games. I’m too old for that. I’ve been there, I’ve been around the block. I’m cultured, I’ve done a lot of things. I’m famous. I have money. I am polished, you know what I mean? I am a woman and I need a man, not a boy. I don’t want to be a teacher. I’m not trying to be your mother, I want to be your significant other.”

It worked for Meagan Good, do you think Lisa Raye will finally find Mr. Right by keeping her legs closed???
