TWENTYSOMETHING ACTRESS TO MAKE PUBLIC VOW OF CELIBACY

TWENTYSOMETHING ACTRESS TO MAKE PUBLIC VOW OF CELIBACY



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – This may rub some men the wrong way but a twentysomething actress is hoping to become a walking billboard for celibacy. Tomorrow (Sep. 26), actress Echo Allen will appear at Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York to publicly take a vow of celibacy on stage. Allen wants to get married but feels casual sex is a dead end because “men don’t want something once they get it.” She figures she’ll have more power in a relationship if she avoids sex until marriage and forces guys to court her a minimum of six months. Allen has already been celibate for 18 months but she hopes making it public convinces other ladies not to give it up to guys who won’t commit. Although some women fear that guys won’t like them if they don’t have sex, Allen claims she’s gotten more emotional intimacy from the men she hasn’t slept with than the ones she has.
