Rocky Horror Picture Show fans: when were you 'deflowered'?
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 10:49 AM by Taverner
i.e. lose your Rocky Horror 'virginity'?

Me? I was in college (of course) and my roomate was, well, shall we say an exotic dancer. She also participated in the Berkeley cast of Rocky. She invited me and my friend to check it out. I was thinking it was going to be strange, to say the less. I grew up and saw the flick on KTVU here in the bay area, but I had heard the live shows were much different.

Anyway, we went - the film begins and it was just madness!

1. October 1977, U.C. Theater
Berzerkeley, CA--in ancient days when you could still fire up a lighter inside the theater at the right moment!

13. ah, you know... it's an old story
the boy goes out with his buddies to the midnight movies and happens to sit next to a hot babe... they proceed to sing the rocky horror songs to one another, flirting brazenly, then after the flick the boy tells his buddies that he's going over to said hot babe's apartment, where she proceeds to deflower him.

As he drives home that night, he realizes that he's no longer a boy. ;-)

3. 1982. Senior in H.S.; initiated by a couple of college student friends.
It was the pre-video age, and it was the quintissential midnite movie showing of "Rocky Horror," complete with rowdy audience participation: rice, newspapers, squirt guns, etc. I've never been the same since. Although, I must admit, it was several years later that I finally learned the whole storyline of the film- because of all the noise in the theater.

9. I was 17 (1990) and with my 2 best friends,
somewhere in Hanover Park, IL. My friend Isabelle was taken up on stage and deflowered. It was all very weird. I have gone to several showings since. My other friend Colleen, let us know she was gay shortly after that. The 3 of us have been friends for 20 years.:toast:

10. I was 14
It was the early 80's and I went with my mom and her best friend. Yes, my mom. :)

We even had the soundtrack. We'd put it on and dance around the living room singing "Let's do the time warp agggaaaaaiiiiinnnn!"

20. Circa that same era for me
I didn't see it nearly as many times, though.

First time I saw it was at a campus cinema. Nobody down here had seen it yet, except one girl in the crowd. She shouted her lines, and people kept shushing her. :)

14. The first theatrical release.
Can't remember exact year, but must have been 76 or 77. (Little help?) The Coed Cinema in U of Ill campustown. (It's not there anymore.) A friend of mine came home from a $2 matinee and said "You have to see this movie!" We both went to the matinee the next day, and we had the theatre entirely to ourselves. I had no idea what I was watching, but by the end of the film I was hooked. We took more friends the day after that.

16. My wife is gonna love this thread
That's her all-time film; I know she's seen it at least a dozen times. I saw a starsion of it by a local theater group in the late 80's before I ever saw the film; I think I finally saw it in Columbus, OH around 1990 or so..

19. I had insomnia late one steamy night, couldn't sleep.
So I went out for a walk past campus. There was a small group of people walking the other way, in drag. Now, I am (was) a tall, strapping guy with short blonde hair. As we passed the guy in drag said, "Oooohh, Rocky!"

It was several more years before I saw the movie and figured out what the hell that was about.
