"This is a way that I can take back control and it just sucks that is has to be in that way but I just don't feel comfortable until things change," Fox said.
Julia Fox is coming up to two and a half years of celibacy -- and says "it's going to take a miracle" for it to end.
While appearing on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen, the actress was asked by a fan to explain the reasoning behind her decision to abstain, as well as how it has improved her life, after Fox recently opened up about her choice on TikTok.
"Well I just think nothing good comes from having sex, including children," the 34-year-old mother-of-one said before quickly adding, "No I'm just kidding!"
"But you know, I think with the overturning of Roe v. Wade and you know our rights being stripped away from us, this is a way that I can take back control," she shared, "and it just sucks that is has to be in that way but I just don't feel comfortable until things change."
The overturning of Roe v. Wade -- which recognized the right to abortion -- occurred in June 2022. The decision to overturn the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling means women's ability to choose to have an abortion or continue a pregnancy is no longer protected by the constitution of the Unites States.
Andy Cohen asked if there was an end date to her decision.
"Honestly, it was like 6 months, then it was a year and then I'm like, Oh my God, it's almost two and a half years and it's still going and I don't know, it's going to take a miracle," Fox admitted, before Cohen asked if she missed sex.

Cohen then turned to a more personal question, "Can I ask you a personal question, do you masturbate a lot?"
"Not as much as you would think, but maybe like once or twice a month. Sometimes I'll start and then I get like tired and lose interest. I don't know if anyone can relate but I'm just so tired all the time," Fox said as the audience laughed.
