Abstract
In this presentation, I argue that if we look at the portrayal of virginity loss scenarios in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and American Pie we will see that they are exclusively heteronormative, this is significant because it perpetuates fears and insecurities among the youth that virginity has a strict definition and looks the same for everyone.
