Like Rebel Wilson, I’m a 33-year-old virgin — and I’m proud of it
NY Post
At 32 years old, Allora Dannon Campbell was ashamed to admit that she was a romantic “late bloomer” — she was a virgin, she hadn’t had her first kiss or ever dated anyone.
“It was such a point of embarrassment,” she told The Post. “Society just makes you feel like it’s this thing that you should be ashamed of and that there’s something wrong with you.”
That’s why Dannon Campbell, now 33, was so excited to hear actress Rebel Wilson share that she lost her virginity at 35.
Revealed in her forthcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising,” Wilson, 44, said she’d often lie about losing her V card so she wouldn’t “look like the biggest loser.” Now, the “Pitch Perfect” star hopes to send a “positive message” that “not everybody has to lose their virginity as a teenager.”
“People think that if you have not lost your virginity at a certain age, if you have not been in a relationship, if no one’s pursued you, then you must be some kind of gargoyle,” Dannon Campbell said. “There has to be something wrong with you.”
Seeing others, like Wilson, normalize virginity later in life is what helped Dannon Campbell become comfortable with her lack of sexual experience.
