In a news item weirdly-connected to the Susan Boyle story, Brooke Sheilds said she thought she was not good looking enough to have sex, which is why she stayed a virgin to the impossibly old age of 22.
I guess the first question is: Why tell us this now, Brooke? Do you have a new show coming out or something and need publicity?
Second question: Since when is 22 way too old to lose your virginity?
And the third question is: Does she really mean for us to believe she didn't have sex because she thought she wasn't pretty enough? [See above] Of course it's perfectly understandable she felt ugly. Our fucked-up society makes even gorgeous fashion models think they're too hideous to be seen in public, let alone on British talent shows. It's just that, in the having-sex dept., it's how others perceive your beauty that generally determines whether or not you get laid.
Besides, I always thought it was some kind of publicity thing her mother dreamed up for her. She was the sexy-but-not-sexual poster girl before Britney even existed. As Brooke told us: Nothing came between her and her Calvins.

Thank you for your comment: "since when is 22 way too old to lose your virginity", because whilst I hate the conservative view of girls should stay virgins till married equally I hate the view that there is something wrong with anyone who is a virgin after a certain age. Yes having sex is fun with someone you love/like/lust over can be great fun, but if you haven't met that person yet it's not going to be enjoyable having sex just because you feel you are getting too old and it's time "to get it over with". People reach all kind of milestones in their lives at different ages, some get a degree at 25, some not till they are 55, some travel when young, others not till they are older, this is all accepted, but why is their this idea that we all have to lose our virginity by a certain age? I lost my virginity when I was very old I had plenty of chances beforehand but none of them felt right, I almost did it once just to get it over with but so grateful I didn't go through with it cause months later finally met the right person and losing my virginity was a wonderful experience. Yes I was frustrated out of my mind by being a virgin all those years, and jealous of my friends who were having great sex, but losing my virginity to someone I didn't care about and having joyless sex would have been just as frustrating as being a virgin was.
I wish Brooke Shields would stop stalking me. I've heard about her, off and on, since my senior year of high school (graduating in 1978). Why should I ever have had to hear about her at all? She doesn't have the sort of talent that justifies her recurring media exposure, especially when she has some vacuous thing to tell the world about her personal life (her postpartum depression a few years ago, and now her loss of virginity).
