Line 103:
** This was also a subplot of the first season episode "The Power of Madonna", in which three couples (Emma and Will, Rachel and Jesse, and Finn and Santana) attempt to get it on. Emma and Rachel balk at the last minute, but Finn goes through with it because [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]. He then [[Subverted Trope|instantly regrets it]], because it was totally meaningless and he's really in love with Rachel. (That Santana hates him and is a closeted lesbian can't have made the experience any more enjoyable.)
* The ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' episode "First Time in New York" revolves around the gang reminiscing about their first times as Robin tries to convince her little sister not to lose her virginity casually. They range from horrible (when Ted confessed to his high school girlfriend that he was in love with her, she lied that she loved him too and then casually abandoned him immediately after he put out) to sweet (when they were college freshmen, Marshall and Lily lying in bed planning a gloriously romantic first time wound up with them having hurried sex in the heat of the moment) to awkward (Robin's highly boyfriend barely entered her before rolling over and telling her "yeah, I'm gay") to humiliating (Barney lost his virginity at the age of 23 to his mother's 40-year-old friend).
* A groundbreaking example comes from 1978, when -- in possibly the very first [[Prime Time]] example of this trope -- the titular James Hunter of ''[[James at 15]]'' lost his virginity to Christina Kollberg, a Swedish exchange student, prompting the change of the show's title to ''James at 16''. It also prompted [[Executive Meddling|nervous executives]] to forbid even the euphemism "responsible" for birth control and to require that James ''feel bad about it afterward.''
