Music Legend, Cher Opens Up On How She Lost Her Virginity At 14 For ‘Revenge’ On A Boy

American singer and television personality often referred to as the “Goddess of Pop”, Cher has reflected on the less-than-glamorous way she lost her virginity at the age of 14.

In her new memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, the music legend revealed that the act was done in the name of “revenge.”

According to Cher, the experience came after a boy in her neighborhood ‘ditched’ her after they had already shared a kiss.

As Cher explained, she was ‘so hurt’ by his actions that she decided to have “revenge sex” with him.

“I was so angry,” Cher admitted, “I changed my mind, though I had never wanted to.”

The 78-year-old added that if she had been emotionally unaffected, she likely wouldn’t have gone through with it, saying, “Otherwise, I would have done it one of the five hundred other times he asked.”

Cher went on to recall that after the act, she was left feeling unsatisfied, describing the experience as “massively overrated.”

She bluntly stated,

“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.”

The singer noted that the boy later tried to win her back, but she never spoke to him again, taking satisfaction in getting the “last laugh.”

Cher 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.”
