Last week, Insecure actress Yvonne Orji, 33, told PEOPLE magazine that she is currently a virgin and plans to remain one until she marries. The Nigerian-born beauty says she was saved by her Christian faith at the age of 17, making a commitment to honor God by remaining a virgin until marriage.
“I wasn’t going to hide it just because I’m on TV,” said Orji, who’s been open about her virginity in the past. “I’m grounded in who I am.”
-Being a virgin at 33 not because you’re asexual, or have an issue attracting partners, but because of religion is sad. Not sorry. https://twitter.com/pagesix/status/900450088966815744 …
-Agreed. The shame, hypocrisy, & condemnation surrounding women, their bodies & choices under the guise of religion is control. Nothing else.
Shamed for being a virgin. Boy, that’s a new twist on an old standard.
We’ve come a long way from “The Scarlett Letter.”
So wearing a face cover is empowering and a good religious thing, but taking control of your own body by refusing to succumb to physical desires is not?
I _so_ miss the world I grew up in!!!
To be civilized is to control one’s appetites. This lady is civilized, her detractors include many who are not.
Standard behavior for a female when I was a teenager, during the fifties.
Reminds me of the dangers foretold in the story “In the Land of the Blind the one-eyed man is King.”
(Spoiler alert: Or is he just damned by being different?)
good for her!
Think that’s commitment? THIS is commitment:

A role model for America.
She has honored God, her parents, her future husband and herself. She is blessed and knows it !
The Godless left is outraged, is it a wonder that the democrat party took God out of their platform and their lives?
I thought we were supposed to “stay out of people’s bedrooms”. Or was that just for the government?
Good for her. Maybe introduce her to Tim Tebow; the last two virgins in the entertainment and sports world.
She was born in Nigeria. Female genital cutting in Nigeria accounts for the most female genital cutting/mutilation (FGM/C) cases worldwide.
She is probably missing vital parts and practically sewed closed, so why bother.
I’m sure the Leftists don’t see the irony in their attacking her for invoking her personal right to practice chastity.
Let’s see….. “Indiscriminate desire and unselective indulgence are capable only by those who regard sex and themselves as evil…..” That’s Dagney Taggert in Atlas Shrugged….
I used the line, when convenient, when I was young. …smile. …Lady in Red
Good is bad, Bad is good, chastity is whoredom and prostitutes are celebrated, fascism is freedom and free speech is hate.
I think I’m catching on to this brave new world.
Virginity has a shelf life. Like seafood. Too long on the shelf and it’s not really marketable. Wonderful thing in the beginning but later it just becomes an oddity.
If she’s waiting on “the right guy”, he’s probably already come and gone at this point. Not like she’s been cloistered out of view the last decade or so.
Chastity shaming? Sheesh!
You are 33. Don’t sit on it too long.
Why is she labeled as insecure?
At least she didn’t come out as a virgin lesbian. It is horrrrywooooood.

“Virginity has a shelf life.”
But, Lowell! Think of all the different kinds of cray-cray she’s had time to invent, combine, and refine, while alone.
