Nick Jonas on purity ring phase: 'People were commenting on a 13 or 14 year old's sex life'

'Jealous' heartthrob Nick Jonas has revealed that having his sex life talked about publicly has been a really hard thing to deal with.

He addressed Oxford University's Student Union on Monday (February 23) and opened up about living his life in the spotlight, which he described as 'incredibly uncomfortable':

"Living your life in front of people is incredibly uncomfortable for many reasons. You go through your awkward stage at some point and... everybody's hair looks dumb and everybody thinks an Ed Hardy T-shirt is a good idea."

"For me, the hardest part of all of it was the emphasis on sex and sex life and how at 13 or 14 years old and because of the detachment of seeing someone on TV or the computer it was OK to comment on a 13 or 14 year old's sex life. You wouldn't do that in a normal setting but because I'm living a public life as a celebrity (people did), that was hard. That became a big topic... we all went through a journey."
