Brooke Shields was in the news recently, commenting about her regret of waiting until she was 22 before losing her virginity. She said, "(If I had it to do over again) I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did, (because) I would have been much more in touch with myself." She told Health Magazine, "(I regret) not learning to love the way I looked earlier. I think I would have had sex a lot earlier." It seems Shields believes her poor body image came from not having pre-marital sex earlier in her life!
I wonder if the general public realizes the backward nature of her thought process. Shield's self-described emotional issues are derived from the way our society demeans the human body when we are encouraged to worship sexual impurity rather than wholesomeness. The Bible tells us a sexual union between a man and woman as husband and wife is a gift from God -- pure and beautiful in every way. It is only through comparison between previous sexual partners and societal images that a woman or man develops a "poor body image". Therefore the appropriate solution for her problem should be no sex before marriage, not more.
