Singer Nick Jonas says he has ditched his purity ring and looks back on it as a "very strange thing."

The 22-year-old used to wear the rings to symbolise their commitment to avoid sex before marriage, but Jonas admits he looks back on the episode with a sense of bemusement, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm comfortable enough to talk about sex and other things in a way that is transparent and, I think, more relatable - because this is who I am as a man. It's a very strange thing when I look back.
