Given how many lyrics on the new album are about laps and what's between legs, it wouldn't be a shocker.
Does he still yammer on about being celibate and never finding love?
Nah, he gave that up years ago. His autobiography was a pretty fun (and insane) read. He talks quite a bit about his love life. He mentioned that while dating a journalist a few years back (can't remember her name) that they briefly thought about having a child. THAT would have been oddly humorous/bizarre.
Ah, well, good for that—it always seemed a silly and dubious affectation. I've never gotten around to reading his memoir nor his apparently extremely awful novel (at least for an infamous sex scene).

He also makes some ugly comments about multiculturalism, declaring Berlin to be the rape capital "because of open borders." Not all that unlike Trump's insinuations of Mexican rapists streaming across the Rio Grande.
I want THAT Germany is German. I want France to be French. If you try to make everything multicultural, you will not have any culture at the end of your meal. ALL European countries have fought for their identity for many, many years. And now they just throw it away. I think that's sad.
We all know when the last time that kind of talk about the corruption of purity was in vogue …
Yes I'll be with you shortly. I'm just ordering a pizza from Kory's.

Based on a few interviews, I always got the sense that it was easier for him to be celibate because of his ED rather than trying and failing and dealing with the disappointment all the time. Not so much an affectation as a self preservation choice that he didn't mind discussing in public.

Because you feel something is lost in translation or taken out of context? I will surprised if it is. He just loves to be controversial and it's not a good thing. This is only one of many interview in recent times where he comes across as a shit head.

I still like his music occasionally but I don't particularly like anything he has to say.
The way the interview ended so abruptly seemed a little weird to me, like a large part was missing.

I've not read or heard the full transcript but then nor do I really want to. If anything has been taken out of context then Moz being a dick has only got what he deserved. He has said so many stupid bloody things in recent times it beggars belief.

Admittedly I never read a ton of Smiths era interviews, but that never crossed my mind. Also, a former friend and I coined a better term for ED: BWS (Broken Wiener Syndrome). More panache, I think.

I think that's something else. Erections can "pop" like knuckles when wrenched just so, which causes some damage. I would call that BWS.
