Celebrities and Their Virginity

I have a question for you and I want you to be totally honest. Do you really care when a celebrity loses her or his virginity?

I don't but maybe that's just me.

Apparently I'm in the minority though because in this month's issue of the magazine Details, Daniel Radcliffe aka "Harry Potter," is sharing intimate details about his first sexual experience.

I wonder what the magazine would have done if when interviewed, Radcliffe said in his charming British accent. "I'm waiting to have sex until marriage. I'm not cashing in my V-Card until my wedding night."

Talk about scandalous! Wouldn't that be out of this world INSANE?? 

Why is it that we need to read about all the sordid details of a 19 year old guy's first sexual encounter three years ago? Why does the world just expect a teenage celebrity to have already gotten his freak on? I'm ticked!

You'll never hear the things that we encounter all the time from 16 year girls and guys who have had sex. Those stories won't make a magazine, they are from just everyday teenagers who have learned the hard way that sex is complicated. Sometimes they tell us they had sex with a person their own age, other times it's with someone "much older," as this actor has apparently experienced. Why do we applaud this behavior and not teach guys to hold onto a higher standard? 

This blog is devoted to encouraging readers to consider themselves worthy of honor. Girls and guys. Women and men. 

I wonder if Mr. Radcliffe worried about any consequences. Pregnancy? Regrets? Sexual transmitted diseases and infections? Feelings of emptiness and depression? Friends, you won't hear those things, that stuff is "private," I suppose.

Talk to me, what do you think?
