A man who lost his v!rg!nity on a TV show has talked about how it has changed his life.
Dave, the only person on Channel 4’s V!rg!n Island to lose his v!rg!nity, has now found love and talked about how life has changed since the show concluded.
The trailblazing reality show featured 12 @dults between the ages of 22 and 30 who had never had s** before as they explored intimacy, relationships, and self-confidence on a remote island.

A lot of the people who took part utilized the experience to grow as people, but 24-year-old accountant Dave made headlines when he had s** for the first time in the last episode.
Dave’s first s**ual experience was with s** surrogate Kat, who stated she felt wonderful about being the person with him at that vital moment. People applauded Dave for being mature, honest, and courteous during the whole thing.
Dave has a girlfriend now that shooting is over. He met her on the dating app Hinge six months after the show ended. The pair is still going strong, although they have had to deal with some issues with the V!rg!n Islands.
Dave told The Sun that she watched the first four episodes, but it’s getting to be too much now. Even if it happened a year ago, you don’t want to see your spouse with someone else.
Dave’s girlfriend understandably didn’t want to go to the group’s viewing party for the last episodes. She was still there for him and saw how much he had changed since he left the island.
Dave stated she frankly commented, “It’s like watching a completely different person.” He told her at first that he had been on a TV show that helped him feel better about himself, but he didn’t tell her the whole story until they got to know each other better.
The cast stays in touch with each other using a group chat. Another participant, Holly, lost her v!rginity after the show concluded and had a partner for a short time five months after shooting. She says that connection changed her, even though it ended.
Holly added that she became a new and better version of herself and that she messaged the group chat nearly right away because she was so thrilled to spread the news.
Other cast members have also had love sparks. Emma and Viraj went on a date but didn’t start dating, while Louise said yes to going out with Jason, who she says could make you laugh your pants off. But she has since moved to New Zealand, which makes it a little harder to set up the date.
As V!rgin Island comes to a close, the people who took part claim that it changed their relationships and how they see themselves in a big way.
