Jessica Alba says sex is not a big deal

Jessica Alba is out and about doing publicity to get some attention for her next (and sorta crappy looking) movie, The Love Guru, also starring Mike Meyers. Jessica was getting some bad press for some seemingly anti-Latina comments she made, but since her pregnancy the media seems to be more into her. She gave one of those charmingly orchestrated, overly-personal interviews in which she talks about her sexuality to Allure magazine. And posed for some interesting pictures. Oh and shockingly, she doesn’t think you need to wait for marriage to have sex.

On Her Steamy Public Image: “[Hollywood] always play[s] up your sexuality, because that’s what gets men into the theaters. And I never really gave a s— about all that stuff! It’s nothing to be ashamed of. But it is definitely not what I am about by any means!”

On Owning Her Sexuality: “I don’t think I was comfortable with my sexuality until I was an adult, probably, like, 22 – that’s when I stopped apologizing and stopped feeling ashamed. I did the Vagina Monologues in L.A. That made me proud.”

On Sex Before Marriage: “I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they’re having sex. I don’t think sex is a big deal. I hated the hypocrisy of it. Men can do whatever, and it’s acceptable.”

[From People]

I’m a little confused – were people still plugging the abstinence ‘till marriage bit? I thought that died a while ago. I guess I assumed that was the case, since I haven’t met an intentional virgin since college. And even then, it was just the one. I just love that very pregnant Jessica Alba had to go on the record to note that she thinks waiting until marriage is bull. Really? Because I totally couldn’t tell by looking at you.

Here’s some photos of Jessica from the upcoming issue of Allure. Thanks to jessicaalba.net.

  1. I’m with you, JayBird, but believe it or not there are still plenty of intentional virgins my age (22) and above, at least where I live-and they definitely love to share this fact with EVERYONE.

  2. Isn’t waiting until marriage the big thing being plugged in public schools by the American government?

  3. She didn’t make some “seemingly anti-Latina” comments, she made some ignorant borderline racist self loathing comments denying her ethnic heritage. She doesn’t refer to herself as Hispanic, Mexican American or Latina. I guess she thinks she’s white? Even though she doesn’t look European, has a Mexican grandfather and her last name is Alba.

    Everyone has a right to identify as they like, but she outright refuses and denies her Mexican heritage but embraces it when it’s beneficial to her.

    I have to say that I totally agree with her in this.

  5. What an insult to Chaplin. By the way, are photographers so hard up for unique subject matter that they need to drag up ideas done years ago (the Lindsay/Monroe pics, the Lisi/Simpson photos) or morph women into men, very unattractively I might add. Chaplin is dead, don’t make a mockery of a great legend by dressing up Miseralba to look like him. It looks stupid anmd is stupid. The only people that can pull off those types of photos are the people themselves. There are no more Chaplins, and Monroes out there and that is the way it should stay. :evil:

  6. well if she was raised traditional Mexican Catholic, that idea was drummed into her head from an early age.

    But I still don’t like the miserable snobby twat.

  7. It won’t be after she squeezes out that first crotch-goblin. You can’t retread that tire, no matter what the doctors say.

  12. She is right, sex is just sex.

    I was 30 when I got married, my wife was 35. So sex was not a matter to worry about. We were grown up and had experienced alot of life (both military). We married because of a connection that we could not live without. It’s called “LOVE”.

  13. Because I say So:

    I can’t stand this miserable twat. She can’t act, she’s not very pretty, and worse of all, she’s a lying hypocrite! Just shut the trap and frown, le MiserAlba!
