In a recent episode of her podcast, “Desperately Devoted”, Teri Hatcher, the renowned actress and former star of “Desperate Housewives”, courageously shared a personal anecdote about her first sexual experience. Hatcher, now 60 years old, revealed that she lost her virginity without using protection in her parents’ waterbed.
During the podcast episode released on October 23, Hatcher candidly admitted that she was not well-informed about safe sex practices at that time in her life. She confessed, “I didn’t know what a condom was.” This lack of knowledge led her to make a risky decision when the moment arrived.
Hatcher, who co-hosts the podcast with her real-life daughter, Emerson Tenney, 27, and her on-screen daughter from Desperate Housewives, Andrea Bowen, 35, reflected on the circumstances surrounding her first sexual encounter. She confessed, “I think the first time I was going to have sex [was] as a high school student in my parents’ house in their waterbed.”
Searching through her parents’ belongings for a condom, Hatcher stumbled upon an unfamiliar item that she mistook for protection. Describing it as being “like a white, almost like a bandaid, but thicker than a bandaid,” she attempted to decipher its purpose. Despite her uncertainty, she opted not to use it, ultimately forgoing protection altogether.
In the podcast, Hatcher recounted her naive assumptions about the mysterious item she found, speculating that it could be used to cover the tip of the penis. Reflecting on her past choices, she expressed gratitude for coming out of the experience unscathed, acknowledging the potential dangers of uninformed decisions regarding sexual health.
The actress also delved into her upbringing, highlighting the openness and honesty with which her household approached discussions about sex. Emerson, Hatcher’s daughter, shared that she was raised in an environment that fostered a positive attitude towards sexuality, devoid of shame or taboo. This nurturing environment contributed to her overall sense of comfort and acceptance regarding such topics.
Hatcher’s revelation comes amidst a broader conversation about changing perspectives on relationships and dating in her life. During a recent interview, she humorously reflected on the shift in her priorities when it comes to romantic pursuits. She quipped, “People would say, ‘Are you dating?’ and I’d say, ‘Well I don’t date much anymore because I used to date…”
In a world where discussions about sex and relationships are often shrouded in stigma and discomfort, Teri Hatcher’s willingness to share her personal story serves as a reminder of the importance of open dialogue and education around these crucial topics. By speaking candidly about her experiences, she encourages others to reflect on their own choices and approaches to sexual health.
