"I just wanted to see what it was like to be with different people. I don't think a girl's a sl*t if she enjoys sex," Hollywoodrag.com quoted her, as telling the magazine.
"I could have a one-night stand, and I'm the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like, 'Do you really have to be here?' I don't need to cuddle and do all that stuff because I know what it is and I don't try to make it more," she added.
Jessica Alba recently admitted that her first kiss was definitely not what she was expecting it to be, for rather than the magical moment she expected it to be, it was a huge disappointment.
The star revealed that she was 12 years old when she got her first kiss. The only problem was that the guy giving it to her was not only 'gross', he also never brushed his teeth.
"I was 12 years old and had to kiss this guy who was gross and never brushed his teeth," the New York Post quotes her, as telling the July issue of Seventeen.
And, if her first kiss was bad, her second did nothing to improve her opinion of the embrace, almost turning her off kissing altogether.
"Then, at 14, I had to kiss a guy who was 32 or 33, and I was like, 'Ewww! I didn't want to do it,'" she says.
Thankfully for Alba, she's now found the man who she admits done much to change her opinion a€“ her boyfriend Cash Warren.
"(He) is the best kisser in the world," she gushes.
