Teri Hatcher is opening up about losing her virginity.
While speaking on an episode of her Desperately Devoted podcast released on Thursday, Oct. 23, Hatcher, 60, revealed she didn't know much about sex when it came to doing the deed for the first time.
Hatcher — who hosts the podcast alongside her real-life daughter Emerson Tenney, 27, and Desperate Housewives on-screen daughter, Andrea Bowen, 35 — admitted, "I didn't know what a condom was."
"I think the first time I was going to have sex [was] as a high school student in my parents' house in their waterbed," she shared of losing her virginity, adding that she thinks she'd learned about condoms in school, but didn't know what they were or what they looked like.

The actress recalled, "So I was looking in my parents' drawers to see if there was anything and still to this day, I've never told this story to anyone."
"I found this thing, that was like a white, almost like a bandaid, but thicker than a bandaid," she went on, sharing that it was "three or four inches long" and "came in plastic," like "you would unwrap it."
Hatcher admitted, "I had it in my head that maybe you put it over the tip of the penis to keep [it from coming out]. This is how inexperienced I was going into having sex."

In the end, she chose not to use the mystery item in the drawer, forgoing protection.
"I didn't get a condom, so I didn't use one," Hatcher told her cohosts, insisting she didn't think her partner at the time had brought a condom with him, but admitted she couldn't "remember."
Hatcher shared, "I just know that I'm lucky I got out alive. I'm lucky I'm here today to talk about any of it. If we're really going to examine my sexual history, it's just filled with error."
Bowen went on to question Hatcher's daughter, Emerson — whom the actress shares with her ex-husband, Jon Tenney, who she was married to from 1994 until 2003 — on whether she grew up in a household that talked openly about sex.
She replied that it was generally "sex positive" at both her parents' homes, adding on the podcast, "It didn't attach a lot of shame. Even when you think about parents who are uncomfortable sitting through a sex scene in a movie with their kids."
"I feel like I always felt slightly more like that wasn't something that was horrible or abnormal or like you couldn't do if that came up in a movie or something," she continued.
Emerson also spoke about living in such a "naked positive house" when she was much younger, that she'd always run around nude as a child, and her mom even came up with a song about it, which she still knows the words to and sings now.
Emerson insisted, "I think that level of openness just around [the] body and asking questions of like, 'What is a vagina? What is a penis?' I feel like those things were always talked about."

Hatcher's comments on the podcast come after she spoke about how things had changed when it came to dating later in life during an appearance on Sherri in November.
She joked at the time, "People would say, 'Are you dating?' and I'd say, 'Well I don't date much anymore because I used to date, and you'd look across the table at the guy and you'd think, 'Okay, I wonder if we're gonna end up in bed together,' and now I look across the table and I just think, 'When am I gonna have to change this guy's diapers?' "
"It's just not that fun anymore," she added.
Hatcher later said during the interview, when asked further about dating, "I don't date much. I mostly date my cat."
