Craig David‘s gone from getting it seven days a week to abstinence 365 days a year … opening up about celibacy on “The TMZ Podcast” — saying he’s now on top of his game creatively.
Craig — famous for writing the intimate anthem “7 Days” — says he still is celibate … adding he decided to do it because he wanted to “park” sex in favor of spirituality.
Then the bombshell … Craig says he hasn’t gone for a roll in the hay in more than two years — a bit surprising since he wrote a song about making love pretty much every day of the week way back in the day.
Craig says the song was more aspiration than fact … but, adds putting the kibosh on sex has shot his creativity through the roof — reaching a peak during his hiatus.

It seems celibacy’s paying off … ’cause David’s kicking off his “7 Days Commitment Tour” in Vegas at the Lovers & Friends festival Saturday — his first live band tour in North America in almost 20 years.
The festival’s got a star-studded lineup BTW … Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Ciara, Nelly Furtado, Nas, Ludacris and — the man Craig’s eager to see — Usher.
Listen to Craig in the clip … he’s a giant Usher fan and tells a story about a chance encounter in France years ago.
Bottom line … Craig’s saying putting sex aside has totally been worth it — and, it sounds like he’s staying with spiritual lifestyle choice as he heads on his continent-wide tour.
