Miley Cyrus has spoken out on sex. The 19-year-old actress and singer has revealed that she believes sex is “really beautiful” and doesn’t want girls to use sex as a currency or as a measure of self-worth. Sounding wise beyond her years, Miley also advised parents to talk to their kids about sex:
“The girls who really base how much they’re worth on sexual favors that they can do for somebody — that makes me really sad because sex actually really is very beautiful. It’s like the only way that we create, and it’s the only way that the world keeps going. So it’s ignorant not to talk to your kids about it and not make it seem as magical and cool as it really is. If they have a tv,they know what sex is.”
Miley wants people to know that sex can be beautiful and a magic experience for you and your partner, and believes that self-worth can only be measured by how you feel about yourself:
“Everyone knows, so educate them. Let them know that they wouldn’t be here without it, and it is beautiful, and it is magic, and it is when you connect with somebody, and it isn’t about how much you’re worth. Your worth is based upon how you feel about yourself.”
Speaking on her new sexy image, Miley says that she doesn’t try to be sexy, but she takes it as a compliment if she is seen in that light:
“That’s not the point. You’re not sitting here trying to be sexy. If people find that and find you sexy, take it as a compliment. It’s like, ‘This is just how I am, and thank you for thinking I’m sexy.’ People are so scared of seeing a woman being like, ‘This is who I am, you’re not going to change it.’”
