Tina Fey, 24-Year-Old Virgin: I 'Couldn't Give It Away'

Tina Fey may be one of the most popular girls around these days, but as she reminisced to David Letterman Wednesday, she was a virgin until she met her husband when she was 24.

As Dave read a list of people who stayed virgins from a tabloid, like Brooke Shields (22) and Adriana Lima (27), Fey's name came up as having been 24.

"[I] Couldn't give it away," Fey sighed. "That's just good, Christian values, or, being homely."

She also talked about wearing fake hair for her Bazaar cover shoot.

If she had been on Letterman's staff, she would have lost it a lot sooner.

[MariaHartman]

I think that's really sweet.

[noweknow]

Virgin? Ooooooooo 24? Ahhhhhhhhhhh Tina Fey? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yah right!

[johnr49]

And you would know better because?

[Jeff8462]

dDave's obsession with Palin was more to do with his wanting in her personal ballot box..... I'm sure he would have loved to have Fey do her best Palin.. in his dressing room...

Perhaps that was a joke line.

She could have brought the house down had she added "I suppose I could have applied for a job on the Letterman Show and got in on the "sex with staffers" program!

Too long - but the right idea:

"I should have gone to work for you..." would work.

I'm thirty and still waiting. I think virginity is viewed differently in non-Western societies. Coming from an East Indian background, but born and raised in the US in a Christian home, I have both liberal views and conservative values. There is no shame attached to being a virgin in my culture, it’s considered quite respectable. I think it comes down to the values and norms of the given community. I'm attractive, successful, and have a well rounded life, and it had everything to do with the culture in which I grew up in, and how I saw the women in my community behave. I never got the message that this is something I need to give away or lose when I became a teenager. It was and still is quite normal to wait until marriage to have sex, or at least to be old enough to make those decisions.

Be careful, these Progressive Left Wingers don't have much tolerance for someone as strong as you. Liberal views and conservative values can only mean yuou have gone astray. God Bless you and stay your course.

What an amazing generalization. You should be very proud of yourself.

We'll leave a discussion on accuracy for another time.

[JessWonderin]

You think you know so much, yet it appears that you know nothing . . . .

Typical republic party generalization based on cranialanal interaction . . . .

What's wrong with sex? (Not man-on-man in a airport bathroom, that is.)

[davidNlafayette]

Excuse me, but how she held out until 24 amazes me. I was homely too, whatever that means, but I scored before 24. Who cares. She's a great lady- talented,f­ine,fine,f­ine and she votes 'right' which means 'left'. Since we're the same age,had we met,you can make book that I'd take a shot at that. We all look better half naked in a hotel about 2 AM.

Too bad it's something that people are embarassed about...sex is a big deal.

[TruthWillPrevail]

I say good for her....especially that she married the man that she lost her virginity to. Some people may not be so lucky. Anyhoot...I don't know why some bloggers are confused or shocked that she would wait until 24 when maybe there's alot to life than having to lose it at 16 or 17. Some people have values when it comes to those things. I think she's a great entertainer and a genuine person which btw is hard to find in the flaky Hollywood world.

[Zeroes]

Get into a good "I want a small butt workout program".

[junaidnoori]

That's cool. I kept mine till my 26th birthday to the woman I married. It feels awesome to lose it to the one you married.

[jick]

Yeah, it sure did feel awesome to lose it to the one you married.

[junaidnoori]

Aww, silly American nerd on the computer. Don't worry, the sex bots will come out in the market in no time. Then you'll be happy.

[gabberwok]

Hah, so I guess that makes her a better Christian than either Sarah or Bristol Palin - she waited for marriage!

[Blackbuddah]

Tina forget those mean guys and MEAN GIRLS, on our first DATE NIGHT we would meet outside of 3O ROCK i would take you to a friday movie or a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE show and dinner, at the end of the night you would witness THE INVENTION OF LYING by me using my OOBERMIND to make you my BABY MAMA.

[SNS]

Don't worry, Tina, there's a lot of 24+ year old virgins at this site.

[leeloo]

Virginity is overrated, nonetheless I respect the fact that she was wise enough to wait.
Its not easy to know which person is 'right', especially when you're young. I think Tina Fey is a good role model, because she is not only smart and sexy, but she has brains. Not everyone is so lucky, so if you loose your virginity to some ass, dont fuss about it. Just make sure sexual partners are limited- you avoid sexual transmitted diseases and a long 'bed list'.
