Marilyn Manson's ex-wife, burlesque star Dita Von Teese, has admitted that her split from the American shock rocker turned her off sex for a year.
The pair married in 2005 but split up within a year because Von Teese allegedly was unable to put up with his partying lifestyle or budding relationship with 21-year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood.
"After the divorce I was going through complete heartbreak," Von Teese told British newspaper The News Of The World. "It changes you. I spent the first year not having sex at all, which was strange as I still continued to convey sex in my work," News of the World quoted her, as saying.
"But I didn't feel ready to have another partner," she continued. "I didn't feel the inner chemistry you need to want to have sex. It wasn't there. I needed to get the past out of my system and to listen to my emotions. After a split a lot of men put on a band-aid by getting another woman. I wanted to deal with the break-up and learn from it and I've done that now. I wanted to come through it and be able to love again as if my heart had never been broken."
Marilyn manson's new album, The High End Of Low, will be released in May through Interscope.
