Cher claims she 'doesn't remember the guy' she lost her virginity to

Cher doesn't remember who she lost her virginity to

Cher has claimed she can't remember who she lost her virginity to.

The 78-year-old music icon opened up about her first encounter in her recent book 'Cher: The Memoir, Part One', recalling that it happened with a guy in Toluca Lake.

During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', the host joked the area isn't far from the studio and asked if she would be able to point out the spot.

She laughed and quipped: "I wouldn't remember the spot and I don't remember the guy!"

Jimmy replied: "He hasn't reached out to you? You know he must have been telling everybody right?"

The 'Believe' hitmaker said: "No. I have people that I've mentioned in there and I'm wondering what do they think?"

She mentioned one man she named in the book - but not during the television appearance - who was "very instrumental" in helping her leave Sonny Bono, with their marriage ending after 11 years in 1975.

She said: "I wonder, I mentioned his whole name, so, I wonder, how does he feel about it? But he must feel good, because he was a really good person."

In her book, Cher admitted her first sexual experience was “massively overrated”.

She said it stemmed from her having a crush on a boy in her neighborhood who she started dating when she was 14, writing in her book they used to kiss in her bedroom.

But she added the boy’s behaviour started to change when his friends were around, saying he went from acting “sweet” to treating her “like an embarrassing kid".

One day when the boys were planning an outing to a restaurant, they mockingly asked her boyfriend if he was going to bring that “kid” – leading him to dump her.

Cher went on in her autobiography: “I was so hurt when he did that, I had revenge sex with him. I had never wanted to.

“Otherwise I would have done it one of the 500 other times he asked.

“But I was so angry at being dismissed, I decided to, if not lose, loan out my virginity to him.”

She added about how she wasn’t impressed by his performance: “When what turned out to be a massively overrated experience came to an end, 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.”
