Brooke Shields Advocates Teen Sex

Brooke Shields may have taken on sexually mature roles at a young age, but the actress reveals that she was much more reserved off-screen.
Shields, who portrayed a child prostitute in "Pretty Baby" at age 12, tells Health magazine that she didn't lose her virginity until age 22.
Following her controversial role, Shields raised eyebrows by cavorting topless on a tropical island in "The Blue Lagoon" (1980).
“I think I would have had sex a lot earlier!” Shields laughs. The actress admits to waiting until the age of 22 before having sex, and has said this hindered her from being more in touch with herself. Feeling pressured by the media, and given high expectations due to her more adult roles Shields says, “I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK.”
