Pop My Cherry

I always thought that this phrase was awfully inappropriate to losing ones virginity. I remember my first time and there was nothing going pop, or exploding, and certainly nothing about the experience made me think of cherries at all. If I had to sit and seriously think about it I would guess that when you squeeze a cherry the juice runs blood red in color, at least it does with the black cherry variety. So I guess people compare it to the busting of the hymen which could produce the same kind of effect. Regardless, I always thought it was gross. And saying someone lost their virginity always makes me giggle. You lost it? Really? You had it out admiring it one day and it wandered off and now you can't find it? Honestly.

wow this discussion is smoking hot.. lol.. well, when i read that phrase, what comes to my mind is the same thing which they call the girl's "pearl".. it's just that prolly it's shaped a like a cherry and when you pop it spurts out something. uh-oh..

Well I've seen some part of anatomy pop - in fact I thought it had broke but not sure if it was a cherry or not! xxx

i am speechless but not sure to right what i want to say

LoL wow where did they come up with that one ..mmm That's a good ;)it must have something to do with the juice that comes out.

Its my belief that the popping of the cherry. Refers to the breaking of the hymen, which lets out some red stuff. I have never thought it to mean anything else at all.

that does make us two ignorant fishes.i have never used that phrase Pop my Cherry but i have bit modified the phrase to Pop my Brains,especially when my kids irritate me alot.

I think this poor ignorant fish needs to spawn! I reckon I could pop a cherry! All I'd need is a tube of silicon, an industrial air pump and a sledgehammer. Why is this reminding me of something else???

The poping the cherry mean the breaking of the hymen .. That is what the cherry is ...

I know the expression but the origins escape me and maybe there is a story to this. We all know that many phrases or expressions have somewhere they came from. I would also be interested to know. Cheers!!

pike,well my answer to this would be,if you had to look at a womens cervix it is actually shaped like a cherry.i use to do a lot of pap smears as that is part of my job in pathology,and when i use to train the new girls i would always refer to the cervix as that cherry,so i suppose thats where you get the phrase pop that cherry,good topic pike.cheers sue

i have always heard it meant losing your virginity for females.. the cherry being her hymen

This topic makes me giggle.... You guys are really answering this seriously... It makes me laugh and roll over my floor... LOL.

My guess would be that cherry being a fruit was just eventually used to describe the hyman or maidenhood. I've tried to see what I could pull up in terms of etymology, but so far nothing has stood out.

I think popping the cherry expression comes from when the hymen gets torn and there is bleeding which looks like a cherry has been crushed. So to the observer it looks like someone had burst a cherry and you could see the juice flowing out.

Hi p!key, Lol! I don't know what to say cause I'm sitting blushing. Hugs. Tamara xxxx

i always thought cherry was a metaphor for being young, the popping was the actually insertion into a place not yet touched. This was a great question and topic. I really like the different responses, form the silly to the dark
