Super-knocked-up Jessica Alba talked to Allure magazine about her views on sexuality, her sexy image, sex before marriage, and how little she cares about sex sex 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 sh-t 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.”
A lot seems to have changed since October (pre-pregnancy) when she spoke of her Catholic upbringing:
“I will never do a nude scene in a movie — not ever. I can act sexy and I can wear sexy clothes but I can’t go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed.
“I come from a Catholic family and it wasn’t seen as good to flaunt yourself. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off.”
You know, for someone who wants to come across as laissez-faire, she sure talks in absolutes about sex a lot.
