THE BACHELOR Star Zach Shallcross Implements ‘No Sex’ Rule
By Movieguide® Contributor
This season’s bachelor, Zach Shallcross, has put a “no sex” rule in place ahead of the infamous fantasy suite episodes on THE BACHELOR.
The fantasy suite scenes take place after hometown visits when the bachelor has narrowed down the contestants to three women. On THE BACHELOR and THE BACHELORETTE, this is typically when contestants choose to be intimate with each other.
A preview for the upcoming episode of THE BACHELOR shows Shallcross telling host Jesse Palmer, “This week is viewed as ‘sex week.’ As against the grain as it might seem for Fantasy Suite or overnight night suite, no sex.”
Shallcross isn’t the only BACHELOR contestant who has chosen to remain abstinent while on the show.
Former BACHELOR Sean Lowe also declined the fantasy suites. He also appeared in this season’s premiere to offer advice to Shallcross.
Other contestants of faith have also made a stand for purity.
Movieguide® previously reported on Madison Prewett’s choice to wait until marriage while on THE BACHELOR:
Madison Prewett, 23, declared on Monday night’s episode of THE BACHELOR that she is “saving herself for marriage” because of her Christian faith. The faith-filled statement is unusual, as most contestants on the show indulge in pre-marital sexual activities.
“Faith is more than just this passed down thing to me, it’s literally my whole life and all of who I am,” Prewett told Bachelor Peter Weber on their one on one date in Peru.
Weber verbally affirmed her honesty and said that he was raised in a Christian home and went to a Christian school but often struggles with his faith.
Prewett wanted to clear the air about her expectations and hope for a life-long partner.
“I want, in a marriage, someone who also has that relationship with the Lord and loves that about me and wants to raise a family in that way,” Prewett continued. “I do want to know that we’re able to be on the same page with that and push each other in that way and grow in that way together.”
