Miley Cyrus is determined to stay a virgin until she weds, insisting she gets a thrill from staying pure.
The 15-year-old's squeaky-clean reputation has taken a hit this year after she appeared topless, wrapped in a satin sheet in a controversial photoshoot for Vanity Fair magazine.
But she insists she is still innocent when it comes to sex - and she hopes to stay chaste.
The pop star has confirmed the ring she wears at all times is a purity ring that symbolizes the promise she has made to herself and her family.
She tells TV Guide, "I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand.
"Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall, and I think if (abstaining) is a commitment girls make, that's great."

The new pictures show the singer posing seductively in the shower with only a wet t-shirt covering her modesty, as well as a photo of her showing off her stomach in a skimpy top.
The snaps were reportedly downloaded from the star's personal picture phone memory by a hacker calling himself the 'Digital Gangster.'
According to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who has the controversial new photographs on his website, the hacker is shopping the snaps around to several publications in the hope of landing a big pay check.
And Digital Gangster claims to have a whole host of raunchy snaps he has found on the 15-year-old's phone.
Cyrus has been involved in several photo scandals this year, including her highly controversial Vanity Fair cover shoot in May, in which she is shown posing with a satin sheet.
Teen sensation Miley Cyrus is determined to be the next Madonna - citing the pop superstar as her ultimate inspiration.
The Hannah Montana singer/actress hopes for a long and successful music career and is convinced she will be able to ape the Holiday hitmaker by constantly changing her image.
Cyrus tells America's People magazine, "Madonna always reinvents herself, and that's what I want to do. Whatever comes my way that sounds good, that's what I want to do. Whether it's designing clothes or photography or whatever."
