Joe Jonas is looking back at his younger years with a laugh!

In a clip posted to his TikTok, Joe seemingly addressed the purity rings he and his brothers Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas wore when they burst onto the scene in the early 2000s.

Alongside @jurassicah's viral video of a large group asking the camera, "Are you a virgin?," Joe posted a throwback picture of the Jonas Brothers band members and wrote: "Me and my brothers literally doing anything in our teen years."

At the end of the clip, Joe pops up wearing orange sunglasses and shakes his head.

Back in the early aughts, the Jonas Brothers wore the rings as a symbol of their commitment to hold off on having sex. A 2009 episode of South Park, entitled "The Ring," poked fun of the brothers' decision to wear the rings and even featured an animated version of the band.

These days, all three brothers are married with children, and Joe's wife Sophie Turner — who is currently pregnant with the couple's second child — even called out the jewelry during the Jonas Brothers Family Roast, which aired on Netflix in November 2021.

"No, the rings weren't a good idea," she explained. "Yes, as a gesture they're laughably, toe-curlingly lame."

In a 2019 interview with The Guardian, Nick opened up about his experience as a teen star witnessing the fanfare over the rings.

"It was very tough to digest it in real time, trying to understand what it was going to mean to me, and what I wanted my choices to be, while having the media speaking about a 13-year-old's sex life," Nick said. "I don't know if it would fly in this day and age. Very strange."

Joe also spoke about frustration with the media's portrayal of the rings in a 2019 Amazon documentary on the brothers, Chasing Happiness.

The singer emphasized that as a child in the Christian church, all the kids around him were wearing the rings and he found it "cool."

"In the church, it was encouraged that we go through this program to wait for the right person or until marriage," Joe shared. "Probably by like 15, I was like, 'What?' That was not who we were, it was just something that we did when we were young kids. But we wore the rings through the first part of the band starting to explode and at that point, it was already too late because it was in the media."
