Abstract
While many contemporary television series offer young female protagonists agency in terms of physical, social, economic, and intellectual power, they often fail to pursue this progressive ideology in terms of these young women’s sexuality. This article explores a cultural fascination with teenage girls as sexual (or asexual) subjects, particularly with their virginity, and the negative effects of that fascination in the experiences of first sex of teen protagonists in the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and Gilmore Girls.
