“[The show] turns virginity into a quirky character trait”
Let’s talk virgins. Bachelor producers have the rare gift for persuading adults who have never had sex before to join a televised, competitive cattle-call in search of someone to have sex with for the rest of their lives. Four virgins graced the show’s early and middle years, and while most went home relatively early, one did make it to the final two in competition for dubiously Italian, dubiously titled Prince Lorenzo Borghese on the flop of a season The Bachelor: Rome.
On this season, Becca Tilley would become the second legit virgin the show has led into a Fantasy Suite. Though her run for Soules’s affections did not last as long as Becca’s, Ashley Iaconetti went home week six, but emerged from the season the reigning Virgin Queen of Bachelorland. With her appraisal that Ashley will “stay here so much longer,” Mackenzie is correctly intuiting that sexual inexperience gives Ashley a story, and a story is what turns a Bachelor participant into a contender. This is a reminder to the virgin to make much of her time.
I bring up the virgins of The Bachelor not because I find the conjunction of their life choices fascinating , but because of what’s revealed by the show’s treatment of virginity over time. In Sean Lowe’s case, his relationship to sex is explicitly a religious thing, binding his “virginity” up with something large swaths of Americans consider sacrosanct. The virgins offered to farmer Chris occupy a huge amount of the show’s attention, and much hay is made over revelations of virgin status.
