They've never had sex — and they're talking about it on TV. How to watch TLC's 'Virgins'
In addition to talking about sex, the show is 'about embracing vulnerability,' according to TLC.
A new TLC show is aiming to tackle a historically taboo topic: sex. Or, more specifically, the lack thereof.
"Virgins" follows four so-called late bloomers ranging in age from 34-42 as they look to have sex for the first time.
In addition to talking about sex, the show is "about embracing vulnerability and pushing past fears where the real climax is confidence, connection, and self-love," according to a release from TLC.
The series will show the four cast members "stepping outside their comfort zones and taking big swings to finally go all the way," from going on first dates to attending a bondage class, according to the release.
The first season premieres June 9. Here's how to watch.
