Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham offers up some very personal advice in the following video.

Addressing her fellow females around the country, the star of HBO's Girls goes into detail about one's first time.

You want it to be special, right? You want it to be with someone who cares about your gender, no? About birth control and reproductive rights?

Then your first time must be with Barack Obama, ladies. Your first time voting, that is! What did you think the actress meant?!?

Lena Dunham Details Her First Time...

Lena Dunham is unafraid to expose various body parts on HBO's smash new comedy, Girls. Seriously: she's naked A LOT.

In real life, meanwhile, the actress/director/writer is equally unafraid of expressing her political views, which she did yesterday via Twitter.

"I'm voting because I want to party at my sister's future wedding #ForAll," Dunham wrote, while making clear her affection for Barack Obama and her support of gay marriage:

Where do you stand on these pressing issues? Do you support marriage equality?

Who will you vote for in the Presidential election?

Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO's Girls, posted a picture and caption on Twitter recently that some of her followers were offended by.

Wearing a scarf resembling a Muslim hijab (below), Dunham wrote "I had a real goth / fundamentalist attitude when I woke up from my nap."

Lena certainly didn't mean to insult anyone by it, but in the wake of the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, many were not amused:

After people went crazy, Lena Dunham apologized, saying she hadn't even heard about the shooting: "Been in production and completely not reading the news."

"Didn't realize what a bad time it was to make a joke like that. Not a good excuse, but an excuse nonetheless. I'm glad you keep me informed and I'm deleting those tweets."

"Will spend tonight reading my pile of old NY Times, contemplating the boundaries of humor. I try and learn something new every day."

Then, after some fans came to Lena's defense and said she shouldn't be criticized for the joke/photo, the 26-year-old insisted she deserved it ... while mocking Kristen Stewart's apology for cheating on Robert Pattinson with Rupert Sanders:

"You SHOULD apologize if you make a mistake! I mean, not to the K Stew level, but ... "

Ouch. Point Lena?
