7 Stars Speak on Losing Their Virginity

Fergie

Singer Fergie says that she managed to hold on to her virginity until she was 18, although she admits it was tough to hang on to it for that long: “I’ve always been a very sexual person. I’ve always had to hold myself back – I lost my virginity at 18. But that took a lot of willpower.”

Shia LaBeouf

Transformers actor Shia LaBeouf was also 18 when he first had sex. In an interview, he has spoken candidly on how awkward his first time was: “For some reason, I was trying to portray myself as a man who had [had sex] many times in the past. I didn’t tell the girl I was a virgin. I was all, ‘Don’t worry, babe. I’m gonna handle it tonight.’ And meanwhile I was shaking in my boots. Getting naked was very strange. It was the first time I’d been naked in the light, in front of a girl, with no hiding place. I remember putting a pillow underneath her because I had seen that in a porn movie…[It] put her at a weird angle, where I couldn’t get in correctly. I’m not extremely well-endowed…and clearly this wasn’t the move.”
