Losing your virginity has been the obsession of movies, songs, stories, and religion for as long as humans have been around. Whether your first time was the best sex of your life, a random hook up, forgettable, or regrettable, we were all new to this once. Hosted by Rebecca Duckert and Liz Beeson (two confirmed non-virgins, and therefore totally qualified to talk about this stuff), this is On the Virge, the podcast that explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of your sexual debut. And no matter how it went down, one thing's for sure: you never forget your first.

The 41-Year-Old Virgin
We’re talking late-in-life virginity with writer Amanda McCracken, whose personal essays on the topic have been featured in the NY Times, HuffPost, and in her upcoming book, “How Longing Became My Lover.” She gets candid about being the “token virgin” of her friends, sexual anorexia, a weird encounter with Katie Couric, virginity’s shelf life, and more. After finally losing it at 41 in a loving relationship (and with a baby on the way!) we want to know: was it worth the wait?

Sense and Sensuality
This one’s for the ladies!

The Secrets We Keep
We delve into sensitive territory this week with our guest, Brette. She discusses how being molested as a child and growing up in the Mormon faith shaped her understanding of sex, morality, the subjugation of women, and the fallability of the people who are supposed to keep us safe. She also tells us how she was able to work through the pain to get to a place of self-acceptance, forgiveness, and ultimately reclaiming her sexuality on her own terms.

Lily(s) in Bloom
Our guest this week is the thoughtful and wise-beyond-her-years, Lily, whose sexual debut with a genderqueer person (also named Lily!) opened her eyes to true intimacy and what a fun, safe, and caring first time can be. We also discuss the role of gender in sexual attraction, the wonders of oral pleasure, the frustration of knowing you’re a sensual being with nowhere to put your desire, virginity as a heteronormative social construct, big Scorpio energy, and the road to self-acceptance.

Virge in Film: Cruel Intentions
This week we’re introducing a new segment of the podcast called “Virge in Film” (get it??) where we’ll be dissecting the portrayal of first times on the big screen. (Spoiler alert: Hollywood often gets it wrong). We’re starting off with a BANG with the hit 1999 teen romantic drama, “Cruel Intentions,” and our lovely guest, NYC comedian/writer Julie Mitchell. We delve into the insane lives of rich Upper East Side teens, virgin manifestos, coerced consent, sex as currency, and questionable step-sibling behavior. And yes, we go off on some tangents because this movie is a true roller coaster ride of high school angst and horniness.
Follow Julie Mitchell on all social media @juliepoptart, and visit www.juliepoptart.com to check out her comedy and her movie blog “I Heard the Book Was Better”

Pressing Pause This Week
Hey everyone it's your On the Virge co-host, Liz. In light of everything that is happening in the world right now, and especially in our country, Rebecca and I decided it would be best to take a little break this week.
We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next Monday with a brand new episode and we hope you'll catch up on any episodes you might have missed.
We continue to stand with our guests, listeners, and fellow podcasters of color and ALL victims of racism and injustice. We hope you’ll join us in doing whatever you can to support Black Lives Matter - protest in the streets, speak up during moments of injustice, call your elected officials to advocate for change and equality, and donate to organizations that work to dismantle the systemic oppression of Black people in America.
Thanks again for listening and we'll catch you next week.

Out of the Friendzone
The “friendzone” is unfortunately a real place where many people get unfairly trapped. This week’s guest, Bryan, tells us what it’s like to always be seen as a BFF/brother figure when you just want some lovin’ like everybody else. We also discuss not being able to pick up on signals, first time oral sex, losing it to a more experienced partner, a little pregnancy scare, and finally finding love on the other side of the friendzone.

Halloween Hookup
Our guest this week, Sara, takes us back in time to her college years in New Orleans with a tale of two Allens, a rowdy Halloween that ends in a surprising hookup, what constitutes a “first time,” and why fake blood is a real problem. We also get honest about being the only friend in the group not “doing it,” body image issues, pain during intercourse, and the pressure we (and society at large) put on ourselves to have sex by a certain age.

Pitching a Tent
Carolyn Busa, a sex-positive New York comedian and writer, lost her virginity on a high school camping trip with her dreamy, brooding prom date. We talk architecture making you horny, not getting “the talk,” discussing the sex after doing the sex, and revisiting old flames later in life (when you actually know what you’re doing).

A Tale of Two Firsts
While Dylan now identifies as a queer man, that wasn’t always the case. His sexual journey began with women and has ebbed and flowed throughout his adult life. We explore what it’s like to have two first times, the inherent misogyny behind penetrative sex and the term “losing your virginity,” the importance of clear communication during sex, and finally finding pleasure.
