Cher Recalls Losing Virginity at 14 for ‘Revenge’ on a Boy
Cher is reflecting on the less than glamorous way she lost her virginity … revealing she popped her cherry at the tender age of 14 — and in the name of “revenge,” no less.
The music legend opened up about the milestone moment in her new memoir, titled “Cher: The Memoir, Part One,” sharing the intimate act came after a neighborhood boy “ditched” her after they had already shared a smooch.
As Cher put it … she was “so hurt” by his actions she decided to have “revenge sex” with him. The singer said she had “never wanted to” have sex up until this point, adding … “Otherwise, I would have done it one of the five hundred other times he asked.”
Yet, as the singer recalled, she was “so angry” over being rejected, she changed her mind … though, she admitted her first time was “massively overrated.”
She wrote … “I asked him, ‘Is that it? Are we finished?’ Then I told him to go home and never come back … I wanted him to feel just as dismissed as he’d made me feel.”
Cher noted she got the last laugh, as her childhood sweetheart tried to win her back … but she never spoke to him again.
The singer also confessed she feared her mother would find out the minute she had sex … as the matriarch previously said she’d be able to “see it in [her] eyes.”
She added … “I half expected to see the word SEX flashing in fluorescent letters across my forehead, but I couldn’t spot anything different, and she didn’t either.”
Cher went on to have a number of high-profile relationships, including her marriage to Sonny Bono, which lasted from 1964 to 1975. She later wed Gregg Allman in 1975 … though, they split up in 1979.
She’s now dating Alexander “AE” Edwards … who she’s been linked to since November 2022.
It’s clear Cher’s come a long way since those early dating days.
