Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie and the book, offer some seriously h-o-t scenes, but Lolo Jones isn't having any of it.

The U.S. Olympian, who is also a virgin, has had enough of the R-rated (but really could be NC-17) film, so much so that she slammed it to her 408,000 Twitter followers. We're guessing she's skipping out on the box office sensation...

"Funny how some people think there's nothing wrong with 50 Shades of Grey," she tweeted. "God didn't create sex for that purpose. Watch another movie."

She continued to not only criticize the film but also BDSM sex when she added, "Some ppl medicate pain by being more and more physical to where if they are ever alone they can't feel any peace."

Fifty Shades of Grey has earned more than $90 million in the box office over the long holiday weekend, proving that many are more OK with the controversial series—and its explicit sex—than Jones is. She revealed her virginity in 2012 and called saving herself for marriage "the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."

She has previously been linked to football player Tim Tebow, reportedly in part because of their shared religious beliefs.

This isn't the first time the sports star has caused a stir on her social media pages. Right after she received a check from the U.S. Bobsled & Skeleton Federation for $741.84, she took to Vine and Twitter to create a video complaining about the meager money. But as a successful Olympic hurdler, she certainly wasn't strapped for cash despite saying, "I'm going to be a little late on my rent this month."

She later clarified her comments, explaining that she wanted to use the video to make a bigger point.

"I don't want to make anyone mad, and I've always wanted to help out the bobsled athletes," Jones told E! News exclusively. "Some of them have debt because they've given their life to the sport. My partner Jazmine [Fenlator] and I had to raise money for the bobsled to be funded just to finish the season, because only two of the three sleds are funded by the team."
