Teri Hatcher candidly admits that she was uneducated about sex when she lost her virginity as a teenager.
The “Desperate Housewives” alum opened up about losing her V-card on the latest episode of the “Desperately Devoted” podcast.
“I didn’t know what a condom was,” the 60-year-old actress admitted, adding that it happened when she was in high school.
“I think the first time I tried to have sex was on my parents’ waterbed when I was in high school,” Hatcher recalled, adding that she had no idea what condoms looked like or how to use them.
“I didn’t have condoms, so I didn’t use them,” she explained, adding that she didn’t know if her partner had condoms at the time.
The “Lois & Clark” alum admitted she was lucky not to get pregnant or contract a sexually transmitted disease.
“I just know that I’m lucky to make it out alive,” she said. “I’m lucky to be here today to talk about it. If you’re really trying to find out my sexual history, it’s full of mistakes.”
Later in the podcast, Hatcher revealed that she went through her parents’ drawers and found condoms.
“I found this,” she explained, “and it was like a white thing, almost like a Band-Aid, but thicker than a Band-Aid. It was about three or four inches long, and it came in an unwrapped piece of plastic.”
She added: “This is how immature I was when it came to sex.”
In 2006, Hatcher revealed that she was sexually abused by her uncle when she was 5 years old.
Four years ago, she learned that her uncle, Richard Hayes Stone, had been arrested on child molestation charges and that the alleged victim, a 14-year-old girl, had taken her own life.
Hatcher contacted authorities, and her testimony was key in convincing Stone to plead guilty to four counts of child sexual abuse against two girls. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
