The Grammy winner then shifted gears and noted the time period during which the encounter occurred.
I lived, and I learned.
It had a lasting effect on Kravitz and his thoughts on intimacy.
I wasnt interested in convincing or coercing women, he wrote in the book, per the outlet.
Id been coerced myself and didnt like it.
Ive become more disciplined, he said of the possibility of tying the knot a second time.
Ive become more open to be able to do so.
But its been a very difficult thing for me to figure out.
