Jessica Alba says sex is not a big deal

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.”

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.
