Jonas Brothers' Virgin Pride: Boyband Shows Off Purity Rings

Teen sensations the Jonas Brothers (they of New Year's Rockin' Eve and dating Miley Cyrus) are proudly virgins, according to a new profile in Details:

On a quiet Friday morning in a dressing room at Madison Square Garden, the Jonas Brothers hold out their hands to show off their purity rings. Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas--the teen-pop trio who stand, at this very moment, on the brink of hugeness--wear the metal bands on their fingers to symbolize, as Joe puts it, "promises to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure till marriage." Joe is 18. His ring is silver and adorned with a cross. "It actually ripped apart a little bit, just on the bottom, here, but I didn't want to get a new one, because this one means so much to me," he says. Nick, who is 15, says, "I got mine made at Disney World. It's pretty awesome." Kevin, at 20, is the oldest of the three, and while a punk-rock purity ring from Tiffany might represent the ultimate oxymoron, that's exactly what he's going for. His silver vow of abstinence is covered with studs. "It's pretty rock and roll," Kevin says. "It's getting banged up a little bit because of the guitar."

They will marry the first girls they fall for.

Ok, this is a fairly dumb non-story.

I doubt very much the virginity thing is:

1. True

2. If true now, will last more than 10 minutes if they do hit the "big time" (I'm ancient, so I have never heard of them)

This desperation to bring "purity" role models into the forefront of teen culture is just kind of pathetic though. Wasn't Britney a virgin for the longest, too? See how that worked out? If you make your living gyrating and grinding and wearing sexed up clothing and playing sexed up music, it never rings true when you start talking about how "pure" you are.

I am a mom. My daughter will be into this stuff sooner than I am ready for her to be. I know I will have issues with her and her emerging sexuality. Part of me will want her to live at home and remain a virgin until she is out of grad school too...But then reality sets in.

And if I am dumb enough to believe that some pop star will encourage her to remain a virgin...then I am really living in a dream world. Frankly, I prefer the raucous rockers. What you see is what you get.

That's nice, but why make such a big to-do about it?

Just because you've never had sex doesn't mean there aren't 1000 other sins you've likely committed.

Waving your "virtue" like a flag merely makes you like the Pharisees of the Bible.

Your comment is so ignorant it is pathetic... just because a young man has morals doesn't mean he is gay... maybe your gay and you need to come to terms with it...

Geez, New Jersey used to give us real rock stars who came from the streets. Now we get Disney constructs with a "purity" message for their fans???

How quaint. Excuse me but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Yeah, sure. Get back to us in 6 months and let us know how that whole virginity thing is working out for you.
BTW, boys, a male human hits his sexual peak between the ages of 18 and 22. (Just thought you might want to know...)

Isn't that special?
They look like their dollective age is about 11... For God's sake keep those kids AWAY from the Republican National Convention!!!!

If you guys actually cut your hair and focused on your appearances a little more you could find somebody's little brother to wear the ring and you could go out and get a life....

Yeah, they are pretty creepy looking. They look like religious zealots in too tight jeans. And what is with all of the makeup, 80's clothes and gooey hair product? They should have no problem remaining pure when they are devoid of any sexiness.

Thank you! And please...don't ever breed any more bible thumpers...Jesus says they need more "regular folks" up in heaven...less bible nuts...more humanity.

Eighteen and twenty and you still haven't been laid? You boys are either gay or need to see a psychiatrist.

Right. Except for Rosie Palm and her sisters. I'm buying it. NOT!

And apparently there are loopholes for these fundie nuts. Apparently, a BJ from Mylie wouldn't count as breaking their virginity.

Good on those red-blooded Hanson boys, thank-you very much.
