New York, May 25 : Brooke Shields insists that if she''d been more comfortable with her body image earlier, she would have lost her virginity before 22.

The actress has admitted that not learning to love the way she looked earlier is one of her biggest regrets.

She insists that she would have lost her virginity at an earlier age, only if she had liked her appearance.

"I think I would have had sex a lot earlier . . . I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did, at 22, [because] I would have been much more in touch with myself. To me, that''s a health regret," the New York Post quoted her telling Health magazine. (ANI)
