The actress refrained from getting intimate with a man until she was in her early twenties because she wasn't confident about her looks.
And, if she could do it all again, Shields is adamant she would experiment sexually at a much younger age.
She tells Health magazine, "(I regret) not learning to love the way I looked earlier. 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."
