The 29-year-old Olympic track and field star revealed on Twitter she's a virgin and further explained why in Tuesday night's interview with HBO's Real Sports. "It's just something, a gift that I want to give to my husband," she said. "But please understand this journey has been hard. If there's virgins out there, I just want to let them know, it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Harder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage." She decided to make her virginity public because she's tired of people asking why she's single. Oh here is an interesting fact she also told HBO as well, she uses Twitter to find dates! Jones told HBO's Real Sports that she's tried every online dating site, but Twitter works best. "I'm waiting for the day where somebody totally tricks me with their Twitter picture. Like they're using an Abercrombie model and I show up on the date with somebody from The Biggest Loser."
Well, sure, yeah, that's because it's as natural as breathing oxygen. Sex isn't a problem; irresponsible sex is a problem, but I respect her steadfastness to her principles and all that.
I applaud her stance on this issue. My wife saved herself for marriage including the two years when we were dating. It was a wonderful, precious gift to me on our wedding night, and for me just one of a million different things about her that made it totally worth the wait.
Saving that sweet thing 29 years for a special guy.....If the guy had any balls, he would do like the British royal family and hang out the wedding night sheets publicly......
Weirdo. It's 'cute' when a chick professes her virginity at age 19. When a female is almost 30 and dick is still a theoretical concept, there's some emotional baggage that needs to be cleaned out upstairs. I don't know of many men who would actively pursue of a LTR with a woman who was almost 30 and still a virgin by CHOICE.
I applaud her for her conviction. And to be honest, it's easier for her to place all her focus on other venues like her personal success as oppose to just engaging in lust. She's a cute one, I'll give her that.
Dude she's a world class athlete. She's not some religious nut. They have to dedicate a lot to get where they are. Maybe dating wasn't possible. Damn that girl is gorgeous. God bless the lucky guy
Um, newsflash, world class athletes FUCK. At the Olympics one of the biggest under-reported stories is the sheer amount of condoms distributed by the IOC for the athletes living in the Olympic village. Lolo is loco.:smt119 But I'm not mad at her.;-)
That made me literally bust out laughing.... I lost mine at 21, so I commend anyone who can wait a long time.
I'm happy for her. This obviously means something important to her. For me, though, I think the whole 'saving yourself for marriage' and 'giving a special gift to your husband' is archaic and far too submissive. I've, for a long time, been against the whole idea of it. It just brings up the whole 'women should be pure' bullshit. Ack...I'm not even going to say more on that because it irks me too much. But hey, like I said...that's her decision and I'm happy for her.
You'd need a diamond solitaire in one hand and a marriage contract in the other before she'd let you hit that.lol Don't know how I'd feel about knowing the first time I stroked my wife was on our honeymoon.
I bet she's a lesbian. The whole virginity thing at age 30 reminds me of homosexuals who go into the clergy to mask their sexuality.
I totally respect her for her stand cus all you gotta say is hi these days and the girls pannies are dropping off.
I'm sure she's stuck her hand or sex toys down there in her 30 yrs. She needs to just get it out the way. She's too focused on the wrong thing, IMO She's going to kick herself for waiting so long -- Lord knows how long it's going to take for her to find Mr. Husband. That "waiting" protocol was designed for young women who were married off in their early 20's.
It's strange that a woman in this day and age would put marriage on such a sacred pedestal, to the degree that her pussy must be virginal for her husband. I don't wanna be the first to hit it, but if I'm 'in love', I'd like to think I'm going to be the last.:smt001 Your pussy shouldn't be something you 'give' to a man. It's something IMO a woman shares with her lover, but at the end of the day she has to belong to herself first. No woman should give a man the power over her to be able to taint, stain or defile her. A man might believe his woman has exclusive rights to his dick, be he damn sure doesn't think any woman OWNS his penis.lol Lo lo needs a good therapist.:smt017
