Brooke Shields got a head start in modeling and acting, but the one thing she regrets not doing sooner? Having sex.
"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier," the actress tells Health magazine in its June issue. "I think I would have been much more in touch with myself."
In fact, Shields, 44, feels that losing her virginity sooner could have helped her with body image as a young adult.

"I think I wouldn't have had issues with weight I carried this protective 20 pounds (in college). It was all connected," she says. "I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22."
Though Shields reveals that she didn't learn "to love the way I looked earlier," now that she's older, she's not letting age hold her back.
"The older I get, the younger I feel," the actress says. "Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles ... I always thought when you get older, youll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."

She asked me to help her at the time, but I turned her down. Now I sometimes question my decision and feel responsible for her bad self-image.

No, it wasn’t. They were considered bushy even then.

As I recall, she lost her virginity to
George Michael. Yes, George Michael from WHAM! who turned gay and got arrested in a men's room in an L.A. park for lewd behavior.

For Brooke Shields being the Mother of two daughters, it's the wrong message to be sending to them. Have sex early so you can feel good about the way your body looks? You should only be concerned with being in shape for sexual activity? If she thinks that being sexually active earlier in life is the answer to body image issues, then she has even bigger problems. Basically she just told all young females, be sexually active earlier in life, so you it can help you with a better body image.
Midlife crisis? Or just Hollyweird thinking?
In Hollywood, you have to have a messed up body image.

Didn't her virginity get auctioned off in Pretty Baby?

I agree, what kind of message does this send to young girls, especially her own daughters?
Being viewed as a sexual object is the opposite of real self esteem, right?
Veering a little o/t, I was flipping channels a while back and stumbled on Brooke Sheilds early movie “Pretty Baby”. I watched a few minutes and it was honestly the most disturbing movie I’ve ever seen....had to have been written by a pedophile! I can’t believe that her Mother would have approved this script for her at such a young age. There’s no wonder she has such a skewed view of things.

total b.s.
what advice did ms. shield give to her daughters about having sex early?
The rich and the beautiful have different constraints than others.
I tell my female students wait until he buys you a house and puts it in your name- that is when you know he is serious.
