Virgins — they’re just like us! They come from big cities like Los Angeles and small towns like Hammon, Okla. They have everyday jobs in marketing, real estate, and accounting. And sometimes, when they’re lonely, they go on a reality TV dating show to find true love.
Hulu’s Are You My First? (premiering Aug. 18) brings 21 such virgins together to a “tropical paradise,” where they can “explore connections without judgment.” Meet the contestants — and find out why they’re still virgins — below.
