Bristol Palin Talks About Sexual Abstinence to Jay Leno

By Emma Koonse, Christian Post Reporter

Bristol Palin discussed her first time on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Thursday night, a topic the daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin also covered with Barbara Walters last week on "The View."

Palin’s new book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, delves into the sexual experience she had with ex-boyfriend Levi Johnson who is the father of her son.

Palin refers to her virginity as being stolen from her, and upon Walters' inquiry about the excerpt, Palin clarified that she was just making an analogy to losing her virginity.

Palin candidly describes the night to Leno, “I lied to my mom and I snuck out, I got drunk, and I lost my virginity.”

At 18, Palin became a single mother to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnson, becoming a political liability to her mother’s vice presidential campaign.

During the interview with Walters, Palin also told viewers that she will “not have sex until I’m married.”

Palin is a public supporter of sexual abstinence as well as a paid speaker on the topic of teen pregnancy, working closely with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
