In The Mood For Love: Places To Pop Your Cherry

If we had to do it all over again, we probably wouldn't change a thing about the first time we had sex: losing our virginity in the cramped confines of the back of a '77 Camaro might have been a little uncomfortable, but at least it's given us some fond memories to rehash at cocktail parties over the years (not to mention reference in a blog post nearly two decades after the fact). Those of you with less memorable experiences, however, might want to check out this virtual exhibit in the new issue of ID Magazine where six designers were asked to create the perfect places for popping one's cherry; the results range from futuristic pod-like platforms that look like something straight out of "Sleeper" to a multistory "Lost Virginity World" complete with an elevator guaranteed to get stuck between floors and a chimney that releases a heart-shaped puff of smoke every time a couple crosses that magic threshhold (awww). And for the record: we'd still choose our '77 Camaro over artist James Victore's '55 Chevrolet Bel Air with "spacious bench seats and Marvin Gaye or Meatloaf on the radio" any day. We miss that damn car.
