Folks who haven’t had sex or been in a relationship are bonding online
Kendra Okereke is the kind of person who celebrates landing a new job (as a talent producer) by booking a last-minute flight to Ireland for a road trip across the country. She’s warm and funny, an exuberant evangelist for staying in hostels and travelling solo. Okereke is also a virgin who had her first boyfriend at 29, and prior to that, no experience of a relationship at all.
In a different world, that last fact about Okereke might be the least interesting thing about her. But a series of TikToks she’s done about her romantic experience-or lack thereof-have become some of the most popular on her otherwise travel-focused account that has more than 245,000 followers. And she’s definitely not alone: the #latebloomer hashtag has a combined 73 million views and climbing, encompassing a swath of viral videos and stitches asking (or answering) the same question: Am I the only one to have reached 25, 30, 35 without being kissed, without having sex, without having had a boyfriend, without even holding someone’s hand?
