In the clip, Kimmel asks Wayne about losing his virginity at age 11.  Wayne reveals that he did, indeed, lose his virginity at 11.  He lost it to a 14-year-old girl who turned out the lights and surprised Wayne into participating, even as he had not intended doing so.  What is fascinating is, were Wayne a white female, this narrative would have been considered molestation or rape.  As a black male, doubly hypersexualized as a man (who always wants sex) and a black man (who <em>really <\/em>always wants sex), it&#8217;s just considered a joke.  This is really nice evidence of the social construction of men, especially Black and Latino men, as hypersexual and, therefore, incapable of being sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion of his virginity loss begins at about 2:40.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bbfRq4-E9Mo&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Just one excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>White guy: I didn&#8217;t know you <em>could <\/em>lose your viriginity at 11-years-old.<\/p>\n<p>Other white guy: Well, we can&#8217;t, but he did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will M. sent us this fascinating clip of Lil&#8217; Wayne on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
