What's Miley Cyrus' shocking sex confession? That she likes sex! | Source: Shutterstock
The fact that she has one and enjoys it. Go, girl!
While a lot of her fellow Disney stars donned purity rings and spouted about saving it til marriage–not that there’s anything wrong with that–Miley did her own thing. After living under a microscope pretty much forever, she’s come under fire for a lot of the same growing pains that most of us go through–from experimenting with drugs to taking fashion risks (check out her ultra hot Billboard Music Awards look!). But despite all the negative press attention she’s gotten, Miley’s got a good head on her shoulders and comes off as mature and candid when she talks about her career and personal life–and how the two often got entangled in one another.
“It used to be, ‘If you’re a woman, you do not sing about sex,’” Miley vented. “And now, if that’s not what you’re singing about, if that’s not your entire image, you won’t get played.” Amen, sister. She added that she experienced sexism herself when she released “Can’t Be Tamed.” “I put out ‘Can’t Be Tamed,’ which–even just the title of that, for a woman to say that she can’t be tamed, and of all people in the world, my face saying I can’t be tamed, when that’s all people really wanted to do–I think that proves how sexist people still really are,” she ranted. “And judgmental. It’s the whole thing of saying ‘Be sexy, but our way.’”
Part of “our way?” By never admitting you actually have or like sex. Funny how that works, right? But Miley’s not buying into that, and we absolutely heart her for it. She understands that sex isn’t what makes you who you are, but is merely part of life and that it shouldn’t be shunned or swept under the rug, because, well, it’s awesome… As long as you’re doing it for the right reasons: You’re ready, you’re comfortable, and you’re getting pleasure out of it for yourself, not simply to please anyone else.
“The girls that really base how much they’re worth on the sexual favors they can do for somebody, that makes me really sad,” she said. “Because sex is actually really beautiful. It’s the only way we create, and it’s the only way the world keeps going,” she explained.
We think a lot of Miley's critics are just jealous that she snagged Liam Hemsworth! | Source: Shutterstock
Miley also has a smart view on sex education, even if it’s just from your parents. Instead of saying, “No, that’s bad! Don’t do it!” Miley advocates keeping an open mind and not underestimating how smart you guys are. “It’s ignorant not to talk to your kids about it or not make it seem as magical or cool as it actually is. Kids have a TV, so they know what sex is. So educate them and let them know that it’s a beautiful thing, and it is magic, and it’s when you connect with somebody,” she emphasized. “And it isn’t how much you’re worth. Your worth isn’t based on that, your worth is based on how you feel about yourself.”
We love love love Miley for being so smart and honest. And if this is the Miley Cyrus sex philosophy, we’re on board, too. Because guess what? People (even young people!) have sex. People like sex. And when people have it for the right reasons with the right person, it’s indeed cool and magical, and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of at all. Here’s hoping some parents tuned in to hear her wise words.
And let’s be real: When you’ve been dating a hottie like Liam Hemsworth for years, the sex is probably extra magical.
Do you think parents should talk to kids about sex? Do you agree with Miley Cyrus’ attitudes on sex? Tell us in the comments!
What Do You Think Of Miley’s Braless Look?
This or That
shes right we all have tv we have all seen what is sex and she said if you have it for the right so you go girl and am still your number 1 fan
Honestly, maybe it’s just how people around me live, but sex is not that big of a deal. I lost my virginity at 13 and was one of my last friends to lose it. But its fun and exciting and I just started dating a new guy and can’t wait to jump into bed with him, because, guess what? I want to. people need to get off their high horses and realize its not the biggest deal in the world to be open about sex. why it’s such a touchy subject ill never understand.
I just don’t like who Miley has become. But we ahve all made mistakes and the drug and sex thing is just one of hers. We all have our different opinions and there is no right from wrong. If she wants to talk about sex openly then thats her desicion. I’m not going to be the one to judge her. I’ve made mistakes everyones made mistakes. At the time they might not feel like a mistake but just stop and thing before you do anything that could go wrong. Thats my advice…hope it helps… xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am really glad she is not allowing people to control her and acting like a puppet for an image a channel wants to project. I agree with her views on this topic, and I respect her honesty. If parents don’t agree with her, her actions, or her views, then it’s their job to explain that to their children. Celebrities shouldn’t be responsible for teaching children values. I’m glad Miley found an independent voice.
Alright I’ve been looking at some of these comments and feel the need to share my story. I lost my virginity at 16. And yes it was a mistake. I wasn’t mentally ready for it and suffered from some depression after. (Not saying this happens to a lot of girls) but after talking to my mom, she let me know that I’m not the first, nor the last 16 year old to lose it. Shit happens. But when Shit happen, you gotta deal with the aftermath. I’m Catholic and grew up being told to wait tip marriage. That is a wonderful thing to do. It shows commitment and respect. But so does safe sex. Having respect for yourself while having sec is so important. You are your biggest cheerleader. So strap it up, get on the pill, and show respect for yourself and your partner. #GodBless
miley was in disney and now shes this
wow
kids can sure look up to her
People tend to grow up.. She cant help that.
She isn’t a role model for younger girls anymore. She’s left the Disney Channel and Hannah Montana behind her. She’s growing up. She didn’t talk about this kind of stuff when she was younger, but she’s an adult now, and is allowed to live an adult life without people criticizing her for it. It’s not like, just because she was once a teen pop princess, she’s never allowed to grow up and experience the things that come with it. And it’s like the article says, sex isn’t a bad thing, and shouldn’t be treated that way.
I don’t dislike Miley because her view on Sex(it is her choice, like everything else), but it is her choice to use drugs. And plus, yes, Liam deserves better. She is probably just doing something to keep him under her spell. Come on Liam, use your common sense and leave her.
Ive always loved Miley Cyrus & always will because she does her own thing & doesn’t give a bleep about what anyone says or thinks. She’s a smart beautiful talented girl who has moved on from this Disney image & has a good head on her shoulders. You go girl ! Keep doing you
Honestly, some of the other people’s comments on here disgust me. The perspective and viewpoints that gurl.com and Miley Cyrus are promoting can be very misleading to younger viewers. It’s almost as if they’re confirming the fact that it’s okay to have sex, just as long as you’re in love, and that age is a very minuscule factor that comes into play. Someone, who is very young (let’s say a 13 year old) might perceive themselves as being “in love” and presume with those actions and ideas, when they’re actually just infatuated. At an age like that, it’s almost impossible for a young person to be able to tell the difference between the two, and I strongly believe in that statement. Also, people have been very judgmental towards other ex-Disney stars for choosing the path they chose to pursue. Why in the world is it SO wrong to want to preserve your purity till marriage? It’s their lifestyle, and their choice. None of you know whether or not they’re “lying about being a virgin”, and for all you know they can be some of the most chastity-like individuals in Hollywood. Since you don’t know them and you have no idea what you’re talking about, I’d suggest you close your mouth, and cease your ignorance.
I, personally, am not fond of Miley’s behavior, because experimenting with drugs and other careless actions is not something I advocate.
Truly, I think (which many people think as being unrealistic, yadda yadda) one should save themselves for marriage. Why is it that people think it’s harmless to put themselves out for multiple partners? I’m going to be so happy that I can give my future husband every part of me on our wedding night, and that I saved it all just for him. I don’t want to have to be THAT woman who has to explain to her husband that she slept with over 4 other people before him. (Ahem Christie*)
I agree with you wholeheartedly. What you said is completely right. Sex should be saved for marriage. Having sex outside of marriage always leads to complications and will effect every relationship you have thereafter. And in the end most guys regardless of their religion want to marry a virgin. So as you said you don’t want to have to tell your future husband that you’ve had multiple sex partners before him.
This really bothers me, especially with that shot at Christie at the end. Not all men are obsessed with marrying a virgin, and in the modern world most men marry women they’ve been dating for some time and already know her sexual history. there is absolutely nothing wrong with waiting for marriage, but the judgement of others who do not and the demonizing of sex needs to stop. and it can be harmless to have sex before marriage, and can actually be a good thing to discover sexual compatability. as long as people are practicing safe sex there is no problem with having sex.
okay that’s your opinion….
It’s totally your choice, and your right, to wait until marriage. I’ll never criticize that, but at the same time I can’t stand hearing people be judgmental and critical of others just because they did not wait until marriage. Some people don’t even want to get married, and sex has been around before the concept of marriage. While I agree that people who are really young (13, 14) should wait until they are more mature, in the end, that’s what it comes down to: maturity. It’s when you’re mature enough to handle it. There are PLENTY of people who have sex (more than once) before marriage, and are fine. (not to mention the fact that for some people, it isn’t legal for them to marry the person they want to be with where they live, and so you can’t even call foul on them for not waiting until marriage). It’s all about your mindset and what you believe. (Of course you want to be safe, you should always be safe, no matter what.)
Go Miley!
I dont criticize Miley for having a sex life but to advocate It the way she did when she was younger I think is crazy. And i actually disagree with the music industry being ‘sexually based’, Haley Williams doesnt gind on stage, carly rae jempsen doesnt have to sing,about sex, there’s plenty of stars that dont do that and are successful. I agree with talking to your kids about sex but i dont think its okay to Just ‘make love’ to a person and think at the age of 14 that thats okay, expecially when you do not know what love is! You grow up too fast. And because of this sexuality increase in young people now.We have babys making babys! Nuff said.
I guess I’m old fashioned at 18… because all of the sex on TV and music, etc adds pressure to me. Its also too personal for me. TMI! Sex is for your room, not my TV, but it’s everywhere. I hate that. Yes kids should be informed and educated, but not the way they kinda are now. Hot, steamy, in inappropriate times (at work, school, etc.) without protection or STD testing, and almost no consequences. That isn’t sex, it’s crazy unless you’re over 20, but 14+ year olds see it and think “OH hey! So that’s how its done!”. Not good.
Just to let you know, I lost my “V-card” at 14. I knew what it was, how to protect myself, and what the consequences could be. I’m sorry but most kids I know in my area get sex-ed and we know how to use birth control and condoms. to get a three pack of condoms is like 3 bucks after tax. If you don’t have a condom and really wanna go at it, usually friends have them nurses have them. You are demonizing sex when way back when 14 year olds were married and having sex and bearing children. Our biology hasn’t changed, society has. I can say I learned most of my sexual knowledge simply because I was curious and I wanted to know the truth. Not lies or scare tactics. I’ve only been with 4 guys in my life and the guy I’m dating now I’ve been with for almost three years and I’m hoping we are in it for the long haul. Sex is natural, beautiful, and very magical. I do not regret losing it at a young age. I’m 19 now. What scares me is that I know 11 year olds that are going at it. I’m sorry I waited until I was at least in high school. These children are in middle school. The issue I think is that they know what sex is and that its supposed to feel good, but the idea of how much of a burden a baby can be on the family isn’t set in. I use hormonal Birth control; the nuva ring, and I use condoms. I feel safe. I know there is a chance that one or the other or even both could fail, and if that were to happen then I guess God really wanted me to have a baby. (Sorry For Rambling but I do feel strongly about this and what you said is very inaccurate in my view.) Good Job Miley!
Wow, people are still stuck on this? Who gives a sh*t? Her job is not to be a role model, you and many otrehs need to get that through your heads and get over it.@You: Cut the crap, cause I dont give a two sh*ts. All im saying is, no it was not her job to be a role model. Her job was to be a singer/actress, not be a goodie-goodie for children who shoulld have a damn mind of their own. Besides that, there are other more important things in the world. How about changing your topic into should the U.S. go over to Africa and help the villages who are under the verge of a Holocaust?
i am not a huge fan of miley and i have never liked her but good decision on her part about this. i 100% agree that love is love and it’s the same in every ooitntaeirn. good for her to for expressing her opinions and for showing that there is now wrong way to love!
I’m fine with her talking about sex openly and admitting it’s beautiful. Most of the girls that look up to her are teenagers now anyway, and i don’t think she’ll encourage anyone to do it if their parents do their job to educate them when the time’s best. However, the only thing I dislike is the fact that she got a purity ring, and she promised she wouldn’t have sex until marriage. This has nothing to do with religious beliefs, or my opinion on having sex before marriage rather than, if you make a promise to anything, you keep it. And when you tell your fans you won’t have sex until marriage, mean it. If you commit to something and break it, it says a lot about your personality. Sorry, I don’t respect her for doing that.
In regards to the purity ring thing: That’s really something you are TOTALLY allowed to change your mind on. It’s not like saying “I promise I won’t tell anyone your secret” and then blabbing to everyone. It’s a personal decision on her part, and it only really affects her. She probably got the ring when she was a bit younger, and seeing as how other Disney stars like the J.Bros were doing it, she probably just jumped on the bandwagon. However, as she got older, she realized that that wasn’t something she wanted to do. It’s not like getting a Purity Ring seriously requires you to stick with it NO MATTER WHAT. I don’t think it’s fair to bash her for that.
But because she’s a public person she should have realised it would come back and bite her in the ass if she changed her mind. I’m actually more surprised her parents didn’t talk her out of it since this only gives her ”haters” more material. People should just de-dramatise sex because it’s just our hormones telling us to reproduce since that’s really all we’re here for, it might be ”magical” for some people but if you think about it you’re just laying on top of each other sweating and making ugly faces for ca 10 minutes and then you’ll probably fall asleep and wake up smelling like sweat and semen. What happens in your brain to make you think it’s magical stays in your brain, there’s really nothing special about it at all.
I haven’t really paid attention to Miley since the Hannah Montana shows were on (lol), but I love this. She gets so much criticism for her actions, but the fact is that almost all girls go through the same thing. We want to wear sexy clothes, have makeup on, and dance awesomely. Just because shes under a microscope doesn’t make her any worse than us normal girls are. And to her little talk about sex, I am so happy that she has done this. Most Disney stars like Ashley Tisdale and the Jonas Brothers act like they are so pure and innocent. Honestly, they make me sick. Simply because you were a Disney star once doesn’t mean you will be forever. People grow up. Disney stars do too. Parents should talk to kids about sex. But before they’re 13 and think its weird to talk to their parents about it.
I think it’s great that she’s not lying and saying she’s a virgin like a lot of other teen celebrities. And I think her parents talking to her openly and honestly about it is great as well, but the truth is that when other girls (who look up to her) hear her talk about sex like this, it’s going to encourage them to have sex too. In some cases, well before they’re ready.
She has become to seauxl for here younger viewers. She pole-danced at the Kids Choice Awards in 2009. She is canceling Hannah Montana the show so she no longer has to work with Disney. Also her new album cover for Can’t be Tamed is very suggestive. Her music videos for Can’t be tamed and Who owns my heart are very strange and in my opinion gross. Even her own father commented on the seauxlity of Who owns my heart .Hope I helped
i am not a huge fan of miley and i have never liked her but good decision on her part about this. i 100% agree that love is love and it’s the same in every orntaeition. good for her to for expressing her opinions and for showing that there is now wrong way to love!
I think it’s great she’s talking about it openly, but also I don’t like who she’s become. A bad influence on young women and children 18 and under. Hate to say it but lets hope she doesn’t turn into the next Lindsay or Paris!
i love this. i was never really interested in miley, but I love her now because she’s broken through from that Disney star image, and instead she has dared to talk about sex and express her sexuality and just be herself.
