Hulu has launched a unique dating show, ‘Are You My First?,’ which debuts on August 18. The program, created by the producers of ‘Love Island USA,’ features 52 individuals who are still virgins. These participants, ranging in age and backgrounds, are set to embark on a journey to find love and intimacy in a specially designed tropical setting. The show’s premise is to provide a judgment-free environment where these singles can explore connections and relationships.
Hosted by Colton Underwood, a former ‘Bachelor’ contestant, and Kaitlyn Bristowe, the show includes individuals whose reasons for remaining virgins vary, including faith-based beliefs, a preference for values over romance, and personal priorities. For instance, Brooklyn, a 24-year-old dance teacher from Los Angeles, says she is still looking because she believes the right one is worth the wait.
Godwin, a 27-year-old real estate developer from Edison, New Jersey, says he is still searching because he enjoys the attention his virginity brings and is holding out for his queen. Jake, a 32-year-old from Los Angeles, has chosen not to have sex because his Christian faith calls him to wait until marriage. The show’s press release notes that the group has ‘their hearts open and their V-cards intact.’ These singles are set to embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey, packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find ‘the one.’
As the show premieres on August 18, it’s expected to generate a lot of attention and discussion about the reasons people choose to remain virgins and the societal implications of such choices. The producers of ‘Love Island USA’ are hoping to take their audience on a new and exciting journey with this groundbreaking show.
