LENA DUNHAM OPENS UP ON VIRGINITY AND GIRL CRUSH
Actor Lena Dunham says that losing her virginity was an “uninteresting” and “terrible” event of her life.
The 32-year-old opened up about her personal life when she sat down with radio show host Bruce Bazzi.
About when she lost her virginity, Dunham had a long story to tell: “I was almost 20. I was a late bloomer... I went through my whole freshman year and half my sophomore year and I barely kissed anybody.
“I did it halfway through my first year at Oberlin (college). And I was like, obsessed with getting it done. I acted like being a virgin was like [having] the plague. If anyone found out, I was like, appalled.
“I remember then when it finally happened, it was so, uninteresting, bordering on terrible. Literally, as it was happening — and he was a very nice guy — I was like, ‘This was what I allowed the last two years of my life to be about?’”
The Girls star even had a crush on a girl in college and worried about what it meant for her identity. Dunham said, recalling her thoughts, “What does this mean? What am I going to do? The idea that I would have a crush on a girl seemed like it could upend my entire identity.”
But she said that nothing happened with her crush apart from some hand-holding and sharing a bed.
I did it halfway through my [college] first year. And I was like, obsessed with getting it done. I acted like being a virgin was like [having] the plague. If anyone found out, I was like, appalled.
