Lady Gaga's new album inspired by phobia of intimacy

Washington (ANI): Lady Gaga has admitted that she has no confidence when it comes to men and that she feared sex in the past. The singer said that the songs in her new album 'The Fame Monster' is inspired by the time when she was experiencing a phobia of intimacy.

"Each song represents a different monster I have encountered on my travels; a fear of sex, a fear of alcohol, a fear of love, a fear of death, it goes on..." Contactmusic quoted her as telling MTV.

"I'm so proud of my new music but I feel during all this time - while my dad was having open heart surgery - it was a really difficult time for me personally and that is what this album is all about. I'm just really happy being single at the moment, working on my music and travelling. I think there is a time for that but it's just not now for me. And anyway, I have no confidence when it comes to men," she added.

She concluded: “Something that I have or fear is never being able to enjoy myself."
