Cher decided to ‘loan out’ her virginity at 14 after being ‘dismissed’ by a boy: ‘I had revenge sex’

Cher revealed she lost her virginity at age 14 as a “revenge” tactic.

In her new book, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One,” the “Believe” songstress recalls that a boy in her neighborhood was dismissive of her and “ditched” her after they shared a kiss.

“I was so hurt when he did that, I had revenge sex with him. I had never wanted to,” Cher writes in an excerpt obtained by People.

“Otherwise, I would have done it one of the five hundred other times he asked.”

“I was so angry at being dismissed, I decided to, if not lose, loan out my virginity to him,” the 78-year-old pop icon shares in the book.

Cher goes on to admit that having sex for the first time felt like a “massively overrated” experience and she rejected him in return immediately after.

“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,” the Grammy winner writes.

“I wanted him to feel just as dismissed as he’d made me feel.”

Cher claims the boy later tried to reconcile with her, but she never spoke to him again.

In the memoir, the “Moonstruck” actress also recalls fearing her mother’s reaction to her having sex for the first time.

“My mother warned me that the minute I lost my virginity she’d know because she’d see it in my eyes, so after the romp with the Italian, I ran to the mirror to check,” she writes.

Despite being anxious of her mother’s reaction, Cher explains that her mother never seemed to notice anything different after the incident.

“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,” she writes.
