Jessica Alba is out and about doing publicity to get some attention for her next (and sorta crappy looking) movie, The Love Guru, also starring Mike Meyers. Jessica was getting some bad press for some seemingly anti-Latina comments she made, but since her pregnancy the media seems to be more into her. She gave one of those charmingly orchestrated, overly-personal interviews in which she talks about her sexuality to Allure magazine. And posed for some interesting pictures. Oh and shockingly, she doesn’t think you need to wait for marriage to have 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 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.
