The Virgin Diaries

It’s amazing that 15 seconds of cringe-worthy affection could spawn a reality television franchise, but that seems to be exactly the case with TLC’s Virgin Diaries. The network aired their first one-hour VD special in December of 2011 and it featured a wedding of dualing virgins who had never even kissed when they were pronounced husband and wife. What happened after the preacher said “you may kiss the bride” single-handedly reduced the mononucleosis rate in America by 36 percent. Now TLC has officially announced it will air two more Virgin Diaries specials this summer. Keep reading for the official press release and to relive that infamous moment when everyone realized the art of kissing is not instinctive.

Ever wondered what it would be like if your first kiss didn’t happen when you were 6, but when you were 30 instead? Thanks to the good folks over at the TLC reality show factory we don’t have to wonder what that would have looked like any more! The network aired the first commercial for its upcoming special “The Virgin Diaries” this weekend featuring adult men and women who have been saving themselves for that special someone, including one couple who are refraining from kissing until their wedding day. (Proceed at your own peril and remember, that which is seen cannot be unseen.)
