Jimmy Carr has always revelled in talking about some of life’s more taboo subjects and now he’s been talking about sex and, specifically, when he first had it.

The 44-year-old has opened up about losing his virginity ‘late’ saying he was ‘repressed’.

The comedian took a trip down memory lane with Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs and was happy to open up about losing his virginity at the age of 26.

In fact, Carr said he quite likes talking about the subject.


We’d never have guessed Jimmy.

Young asked him about his university experience saying: ‘What were you busy doing? Because you were not having sex.’



Straight to the point, Kirsty.

Carr replied: ‘No not having sex, drinking heavily, yeah late to sex, very late to sex.

‘I quite like talking about that though because I really remember being a teenager and thinking, ‘I’m not normal, I’m weird.’

Kirsty went on to prompt him on why he had waited.

Carr mused: ‘Maybe religion playing into it and not meeting the right person.

‘I think I was a little bit repressed, I’m a late developer and I’m okay with that.’

He also wanted to reassure any 16-year-old listeners who were going through the same doubt that it was okay.
