London, May 3 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actress Amanda Seyfried says she used to think sex was “dirty and disgusting” and was scared of it.
“We have to be open-minded. I’m not saying Americans are narrow-minded. I’ve lived in New York and Los Angeles – but where I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, there was a small town mindset that made me feel that sex was wrong,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
“When my sister lost her virginity, I thought that was dirty and disgusting, and I was scared of sex. I remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn’t tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn’t tell her, but because I’d done it in the first place.”
Amanda who is currently dating British actor Dominic Cooper, admits moving away from her home town meant her views on sex changed.
“Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It’s frustrating that growing up I thought I was wrong. It isn’t. Exploring your sexuality is important when you’re growing up,” she added.
