Evette Holyfield talks abstinence

    Abstinence has been a relatively easy decision for Evette Holyfield, who fully intends to wait until she’s married to have sex.

    Evette is 27 years old, single and a virgin. And she’s completely okay with that. It was part of the value system that’s always been part of her life, and her dad Evander Holyfield made sure she understood the value of virginity at a young age.

    "We grew up in a Christian home. When I was around six years old, my dad said to me, ‘You don’t need to have sex outside of marriage,’" she recalled. "He went through the whole spiel with me. So as I grew up, I thought, ‘Okay, dad, if you don’t want me to do it, I’m not gonna do it.’"


    In a time when talking about your latest escapes are part of the culture of girl talk, some women don’t get Evette’s decision to remain a virgin until she’s married. Aside from the spiritual benefit for her, she said she’d rather focus on keeping her goodies exclusive. She shared, "Some women have said to me, ‘Why would anyone want to date you if you haven’t had sex?’ I ask them, ‘Why would anyone want to date someone who has slept with the whole world?’”



    Evette revealed that she hasn’t really had any problems practicing what she preaches. It’s not clear whether she’s had any close calls, but being abstinent has supposedly been a breeze for her. Afterall, how can you miss something that you never had?
