Brooke Shields Regrets Not Having Sex Sooner: Losing Virginity Could Have Helped With Body Image
MSNBC ^ | updated 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

Posted on 05/26/2009 8:54:37 AM PDT by lewisglad

Brooke Shields got a head start in modeling and acting, but the one thing she regrets not doing sooner? Having sex.

"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier," the actress tells Health magazine in its June issue. "I think I would have been much more in touch with myself."

In fact, Shields, 44, feels that losing her virginity sooner could have helped her with body image as a young adult.

"I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight — I carried this protective 20 pounds (in college). It was all connected," she says. "I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22."

Though Shields reveals that she didn't learn "to love the way I looked earlier," now that she's older, she's not letting age hold her back.

"The older I get, the younger I feel," the actress says. "Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles ... I always thought when you get older, you’ll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."

Yep I see she was a victim of the “Freshman 15.”

Proof that age does not automatically bring maturity nor wisdom.

In the long list of subjects I could not care less about, Brooke Shield’s sex life is near the top.

The freshman 15 would have not stopped me from asking her out back then! :)

Too bad she didn’t just call on me! I could’ve helped her solve THAT problem in about 2 seconds!

"...made to think they’re unattractive...."

By whom are they "made to think?"

No one "makes" anyone else to "think." Accepting that errant philosophy has given us so many lies in America in particular but even the rest of the world today.

The idea that anyone is "made to think" is tantamount to "made to act," etc., etc., etc. Only a person accepts or rejects the opinions of others. This statement takes me back to the term "the Devil made me do it" and that was part of a comedy routine.

Oh, I could have helped her also, but it would have taken an hour or TWO.

True, but she still could use a little trim of those eyebrows.

I wonder why they left them straggly and overgrown like that?
