"We're Gonna Stay Virgins!"

2/22/2008 1:24 PM ET | Filed under: Jonas Brothers

Oh, boy. We hope this doesn't come back to haunt them.

The Jonas Brothers are pulling a Britney!

The teen pop sensations have taken a vow of chastity. PUBLICLY.

That's right, Kevin, Nick and Joe are boldly (and admirably) proclaiming that they plan to stay virgins until marriage.

They talk to Details magazine about their vow to remain sex-free until they wed.

On a quiet Friday morning in a dressing room at Madison Square Garden, the Jonas Brothers hold out their hands to show off their purity rings. Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas—the teen-pop trio who stand, at this very moment, on the brink of hugeness—wear the metal bands on their fingers to symbolize, as Joe puts it, "promises to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure till marriage." Joe is 18. His ring is silver and adorned with a cross. "It actually ripped apart a little bit, just on the bottom, here, but I didn't want to get a new one, because this one means so much to me," he says. Nick, who is 15, says, "I got mine made at Disney World. It's pretty awesome." Kevin, at 20, is the oldest of the three, and while a punk-rock purity ring from Tiffany might represent the ultimate oxymoron, that's exactly what he's going for. His silver vow of abstinence is covered with studs. "It's pretty rock and roll," Kevin says. "It's getting banged up a little bit because of the guitar."

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Thoughts????

Re: Flowerbomb –

well considering that their only fans ARE NOT just pre-teens. Im 17 years old. I know people who are in their 20s who like them. Because of their music. Their music is great & inspiring. Yes, kids who are 10,11,12,13 like them. However at their concerts, there are probably MORE 15-19 year olds than younger.

people need to get with it !!!!! THEY MADE THIS PROMISE YEARS AGO !!! its not something new. AND their saying their gonna crash and burn like most disney stars. disney didnt start them. they had an album before this and people dont open their eyes and ears to hear and see them. but anyways not all disney starts crash and burn… justin, christina, hayden, and tons more. just the dumb hoes lindsay and britney. GET OVER IT !!! YOUR ALL FAGS (no offense perez i love you) AND WISH YOU COULD GET WITH THESE BOYS !!!
Chr!s says – reply to this

119

Idiots. Don't they realize that when they make this promise and then DON'T keep it, it actually looks WORSE for them and their Christian masters?

Then again, this worked for Hanson, didn't it? Oh wait, they're irrelevant too? Oh, yeah, that's right.
gray baby says – reply to this

120

I think it's wonderful. It may or may not come to fruition, but at least they're serving as good role models about sexuality and the importance of being non-promiscious and choosing your partners wisely…….not to mention how great sex is with someone you love and really committed to…..

or do you mean BJ…and you want to suck them
all off……….
creigh says – reply to this

127

being a virgin is considered so "uncool" today. Look at all the horrible things people are saying about them just because of this article. So why in the world do people think they are lying??? How would this lie benefit them? I'm pretty sure they're being honest & I think they'll stay true to thier word. I thinks it's great, how many others have the willpower to stay pure until your wedding day? *cricket, cricket*
I love how going against the grain makes them losers & gay, etc. but in actuality aren;t you all losers the because you're following exactly what everyone else is doing (SEX, drinking, drugs)? I'm not even a fan of JB but because of this I think i'm slowly becoming one.
Aimée says – reply to this

Well, it's admirable that they're doing this, but makes it ever more likely for them to fail by taking it public. But hey, props to them, and I guess we'll see if or how long they last…

These kids are fucking posers. Plain and simple. They probably had to do this before people could start suspecting they were effing the throngs of 11 year old girl groupies that cry when they touch one of these plugs.

137

I can't believe the "powers that be" make these kids pull this kind of shit and it really bugs me that they think we are taken in by their maufactured "personalities".
jb says – reply to this

138

idiots, they actually believe there is hell, sorry they are so stupid!! When they do have sex they will be terrible lovers because they are so brainwashed by morality that they probably think it's dirty and won't know how to please a woman or man. Stick to shallow pop music leave the real life experiences to the rest of us who aren't afraid to think for ourselves. losers

I say good on them! They are entitled to post their ideals and re-adjust as they age. Nobody knows how age will change them, let them set out with a certain ideal in mind, it doesn't hurt anyone.

149

I love them! I saw them last night in concert with my daughter. They were great and very "normal". I was thinking it might be a painful experence for me but ended up loving them. I wish them luck with the purity rings. I'm sure that they could be running around with any given female (or male) if they wanted. I hope they do well and are successful in the future. But staying pure till marriage is a good thought I dont know how they will be able to do that.
Trixie says – reply to this

150

What a bunch of Disney-sponsored bullshit. Purity sells records to the teenie bopper crowd and makes the moms happy to buy the next cd. These boys are getting laid left and right!

I think it's awesome that they're gonna stay virgins until marriage. I think it's very respectable of them!

I hope they do stay on the right path. They were a Christian Band (no joke!…google it) so I hope they continue to promote their morals and stick to them as well.

Haha..right…
Xandaira says – reply to this

163

first… sex outside "marriage" has nothing to do with "purity" or even "god." it's all made up by people who want to control you. Purity is a state of mind - no one can dictate your level of purity, or what specific behavior is right for you.
second… real or not, there's plenty people can do while remaining technical virgins.
third… i'm with everyone else calling this a publicity stunt. there has never been a time in history when public figures werent promoting a socially acceptable high standard of morality in public, while doing the opposite in private. the only difference is now it is less of a career-ender to be open about one's private values. for that, you can thank rich people who dont give a fuck what anyone thinks, and good for them.
Morgan says – reply to this

164

they are very spiritual people and i respect the fact that they have purity rings. everyone thinks they're gunna turn out like every other disney star and get drunk and have babies. do some research on them before you say anything. you will realize they are great people and are serious about their promises.
Susan says – reply to this

What a bunch of jackasses. If I was young, rich and famous, I'd be tapping so much trim it wouldn't be measurable with today's antiquated technology.

Or, maybe they're into fat, ugly, horrible-hair-styled dudes like perez and don't want to upset their Disney masters.

Either way, fuck'em.

those boys are fucking amazing role models. their not idiots. theyve had their purity rings for a long time.

britneys problem is her parents. they dont fucking care.
the jonas family is totally different.
their so strict with those boys
stop bashing them & comparing them to britney.
leave them the hell alone.

stop worrying about them, you need to worry about your self. get a fucking life.

173

the boys have been pure since 2005 or even before that, if you liitel fake fans didnt know that, its amazing that there doing this, they have always been close to their faith and i support them 100 percent, because of them im choosing to stay pure, and never ever ever ever compare them next to britney, shes a washed up popstar who ruined her life when she got rid of justin, I LOVE NICHOLAS, PAUL, AND JOSEPH, AND I HAVE SUPPORTED YOUR DECISION TO STAY PURE FROM THE BEGGINING!!! so heres the question are you little hoes gonna stop likign them cause of this, because there is more to them than looks!!!!!!!!

Why is that admirable? I don't understand why it's considered this amazing thing to stay a virgin. If it's right for you then that's cool, but it doesn't mean that they should be lavished with praise. And honestly, who cares? Keep it to yourself.

186

Okay perez, why is this so shocking? theyre positive role models and have ALWAYS been religious. This is how its SUPPOSED to be, wait until marriage but we live in a society filled with dirtbags like YOU who dont believe in that. Go ahead don't believe tht they'll remain pure but they will, they're not like britney spears.

i honestly think that what they are doing is amazing…it is setting a very good example for their fans. maybe they can change a bit of the world by doing this && maybe our wourd can become purer(sp) in a sexual sense…

Oh yeah, repressing our human nature for gawd is definitely the way to go. Rock on, virgins! /sarcasm

I'm really impressed with them because the industry is EXTREMELY sex-fueled.

I'm glad there are "cool" good examples around to show younger kids that it's okay to wait till you're married.

Kudos to the Jonas Brothers!

i just think it's really annoying that they have to mention god and marriage, endorsing only heteronormative bullshit. as if choosing not to have sex also requires you to be a nice, heterosexual, christian person and that people who aren't the aforementioned things are more likely to be promiscuous. or that they're saying casual sex is immoral. i think they're still sending a fucked-up message in a subtle way.
