Brazilian model Adriana Lima is still a virgin - and she is determined to snub sex until she is married.

The 24-year-old former girlfriend of rocker Lenny Kravitz insists people should only consummate relationships when they are committed and in love.

But she reveals she has found a lucky man and is ready to settle down.

She says, "I'm not very experienced. Sex is just for after marriage.

"(Men) have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, it means they don't want me.

"I'm in love. I can't look at another guy. I can't. I'm blocked.

"Love just happens once. You can be mistaken, you can think you are in love, but after a while you discover that you're really not. Real love is different."
