She describes herself as a "late bloomer" and explained that her lack of confidence has stunted her in the bedroom.
"I wasn't attracted to guys till I was like in my mid-20s," she told TLC show Virgins, in a clip seen by the Daily Mail.
"I think it was just being overweight and not having confidence in myself."
Rhasha revealed that she has always struggled with her weight, and believed that men wouldn't be attracted to her because of her size.
Opening up about her marriage, she told a professional on the show that her ex-husband was an international student from South Korea.
She explained that they never met up, but spent four years texting each other.
"He was so sweet and made me laugh, so when he told me that he didn't want to go back to his home country, I didn't want him to either", she said.
She said that she was completely in love with the man, but revealed that he only ended up marrying her for a green card.
Rhasha is now determined to lose her virginity, but said that her ordeal with her former nupitals has put her off getting wed again.
"I have so much love to give and I'm such a nurturing person, but I don't know if I want to get married because I was before and that was a debacle", she said.
Moment virgin has sex on Virgin Island with surrogate partner
The new TLC show sees four adult virgins aim to finally have sex.
Alongside Rhasha, the reality series features Deanne, a 35 year old with high standards, Alex a 34 year old living in his mum and dad's loft, and Sonali, a 37 year old who has practically never dated.
Describing the show, TLC said it's a "wild, warm, and wonderfully awkward ride with four adults who have yet to experience sexual intercourse, as they navigate love, intimacy, and self-discovery in their 30s and 40s."
"After years of missed connections and dating horror stories, these late bloomers are done playing it safe," the synopsis continues.
"They're stepping outside their comfort zones and taking big swings to finally go all the way, emotionally and physically.
"From navigating awkward first dates to exploring a bondage class and working with an intimacy partner they're putting it all on the line in hopes of finally sealing the deal."
Virgins is set to air on TLC tomorrow, June 9.

I wouldn't leave my hubby for cheating… but there are three things I would divorce him over
AFTER fans call for actress Jacqueline Jossa to leave husband Dan Osborne after his 'flirty' text messages with Christine McGuinness, writer Mel Fallowfield, 51, reveals she would stand by her man if his head was turned . . . I know a lot of women will think I'm mad for saying this, but if my husband Brian cheated, I would completely forgive him. 4 But if he was ever to break one of my three non-negotiable rules I live by, I'd be straight down the solicitor's office. Boredom. Resentment. Feeling unfulfilled. These are the three things I will never let into my marriage. I'd, quite frankly, rather get divorced. Perhaps that's how Jacqueline Jossa may feel too. Her relationship with Dan Osborne hit the headlines last week after The Sun revealed he had been exchanging 'flirty' text messages with reality star Christine McGuinness following the breakdown of her marriage to TV presenter Paddy McGuinness. While there was no suggestion of an intimate relationship between the pair, former Towie star Dan has been hit with infidelity claims in the past, previously confessing to The Sun: 'I've made mistakes. "I've done things I shouldn't have done.' Fans have since urged EastEnders actress Jacqueline to call time on their marriage. Comments online include, 'Jac come on love, you have always deserved better', and, 'It really is time that his wife took off rose-tinted glasses'. But if he has cheated in the past and she has put up with it, I can't say I blame her — and she wouldn't be alone. According to one survey, a third of us have stayed with a partner after discovering they had been unfaithful. To be clear, my husband Brian is not cheating on me and never has, as far as I'm aware. But then again, I would go out of my way NOT to find out. I have no interest in going there. I've even told Brian that if he was ever to indulge in an extra-marital fling, he must not confess and he must make sure I don't find out. He's sworn he has no interest in sleeping with anyone else but it would be foolish to believe any marriage is immune from infidelity — the figures speak for themselves. Twenty per cent of men and 19 per cent of women have been unfaithful. If Brian cheated on me, I'm sure I would feel resentment and anger, but if it was a one-off, it feels like something we could tackle. 4 4 But a resentment that feels as though it would stretch on forever is what I'd struggle with. There being no hope of change is what I couldn't face. Just the other day, I came into the kitchen to find crumbs and cheese left on the chopping board, the lingering evidence of Brian's snack spread all over the kitchen counter. I begrudgingly tidied the mess away while he mumbled that he was about to clear it up himself. But the fact the snack was finished and he was on the sofa watching telly made a mockery of that statement. It's a daily occurrence in my house, a simple annoyance which triggers tiny flashes of resentment. That could be the thing that ends our 19-year marriage. But if Brian cheated on me I'd try to turn a blind eye and, if I couldn't, we'd go to counselling. That's because if everything else is right in a marriage I don't see why infidelity should kill it. If I was to also end up feeling bored and therefore unfulfilled because of the man my husband evolves into, that would kill the love and could, in turn, kill my relationship. 'MORE THAN SEX' And I'm not alone in this. My friends and I can talk for hours about our spouses' irritating ways, that day-in- day-out monotony that when you come home you just know they'll have left their used tea bags by the sink. It would honestly lift my heart to come home and not find them there. I've told him countless times but it makes no odds. It's not grand gestures that most women crave, but little everyday things that show us he's thinking of our needs, not just his. The actual clearing up after him takes a matter of minutes and, for the time being, I'm resigned to it because he's been like that since we started living together 25 years ago. Because so many men do, it seems 'normal'. My father wasn't exactly houseproud and I feel you can't teach old dogs new tricks. But a decade on from now there's a chance that my tolerance will evaporate and I will develop a seething and unhealthy resentment about the crumbs on the chopping board and the way he puts the mugs in the glasses cupboard when he empties the dishwasher. That's because Brian, 53, is basically saying his needs are more important than mine. He knows I'm ruffled and after 19 years of marriage, what was once endearing or something to joke about is slowly becoming as grating as nails down a blackboard. Marriage is about love and feeling appreciated and supported. It is definitely far more than just sex. If Brian gambled away our savings, I'd get him help for addiction. Or if he was suddenly ill or disabled, there's no way I'd leave. But feeling resentful, bored or unfulfilled aren't the ingredients for a happy and healthy marriage, if it's to last. These days we live for longer, so the idea of falling out of love in my 50s or 60s and remaining in the marriage for another 20 or so years is an impossible prospect. And that goes both ways because I'm sure I have my 'cheese on the chopping board' moments which can be just as infuriating. I know it drives Brian mad that I insist on always sitting in the same place on the sofa and can happily watch The Big Bang Theory on repeat and invite friends round without checking it's convenient for him. Even high-profile, seemingly solid and long partnerships are breaking up all around us. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, 54, and his wife Cristina Serra split up after 30 years together and having three children. The couple were apparently hoping to reconcile, but reports have since suggested that they are heading for divorce. And at the start of the year, former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond, 55, announced the end of his marriage to Mindy. The pair had been together for 28 years and have two daughters. Statistics show that while the divorce rate in the UK overall is falling, in the over-50s it's rising. Since 1990 it's doubled and experts are predicting it will have tripled by 2030. 'COMPLETELY UNITED" So we have to be realistic. While neither of us have stayed together for the sake of our two sons, aged 18 and 15, having them in common has undoubtedly been a glue that binds me with Brian. We laugh about their antics, we share the same worries about the pressures of exams and whether they're safe and happy or not, and we cheer the boys on together from the sidelines when they play rugby. We are completely united in always wanting the best for them. We work extremely well as a four, but I don't yet know whether we will still work as two. If it's just me and Brian, I worry that I'll feel flat. And what happens if he fills the void of them leaving with gardening or, worse still, golf, which I hate? I can imagine feeling bored rigid as he muses over which club to use, or spends hours perfecting his swing. I'm watching the boys get ready for the rest of their lives. It's so exciting observing them feel their way into adulthood and I love helping my eldest plan his year abroad and his university application. I miss that youthful optimism and I'm not prepared to shelve it for good, nor end up feeling unfulfilled, just because I'm in my sixth decade. I'm a huge believer that we only live once and should enjoy our lives. If it isn't fun then you should change it, and if that means changing your partner or going solo after nearly three decades together, then so be it. I suspect people will think that Brian is more likely to cheat, knowing how I feel. But I disagree. If a man wants to cheat he will do so whether he knows that spells the end of his marriage or not. The only real danger is that he falls in love with another woman. So I will continue making sure I don't find out something I don't want to know about — and if I do, I'll do my best to forgive him. Because at the end of the day, forgiveness is easy compared to living a life that no longer feels like your own. And if I ever stop recognising the woman I've become in this marriage, that's when I'll know it's time to walk away.

Has Tom Hiddleston had a low-key wedding? Hints of marriage as Marvel superhero couple reveal second baby is on the way
Three ears is a long time to be engaged – and longer still to keep a secret. So perhaps it's no surprise that Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton – a couple who tightly guard their privacy – seem to have finally let slip they are married. The last official update on their relationship status came in 2022 when Hiddleston, 44 – who became a household name in BBC drama The Night Manager – confirmed they were engaged. Later that year, they had their first child, but failed to make the baby's name or even sex public. Now, with absolutely no fanfare, Hiddleston – also known for playing Loki in several Marvel movies – has been referred to as Ms Ashton's 'husband' in an interview. The actress, 40 – a Marvel star herself, playing Dar-Benn – also confirmed to Vogue she is expecting their second child. At the weekend they appeared on the red carpet for the UK premiere of Hiddleston's new film, Ms Ashton wearing a flowing custom sky-blue Emilia Wickstead gown and cape, with a baby bump just about visible. Ahead of the London screening of The Life Of Chuck, an adaptation of a Stephen King story, Ms Ashton suggested to Vogue she was feeling a little nervous about the publicity, but that Hiddleston would be a reassuring presence. She said: 'I feel like I'll be very held on an evening where, as an expectant mother, you can feel a little bit exposed.' The couple met playing a husband and wife in the 2019 West End revival of Betrayal by Harold Pinter, which later transferred to Broadway in New York. They confirmed they were an item in 2021 and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Tony Awards that year, when Hiddleston was nominated for Betrayal. The following year, Ms Ashton's diamond engagement ring was spotted at the Bafta Awards. The low-key approach is in stark contrast to Hiddleston's highly publicised whirlwind romance in 2016 with pop star Taylor Swift. Several years later, he told The New York Times: 'Yes, I'm protective about my internal world now in probably a different way. That's because I didn't realise it needed protecting before.'

Good Boy – K-drama Episode 3 Recap & Review
Episode 3 Episode 3 of Good Boy begins with Han-na's story, where she's about to compete in another championship and set a record. However, at a crucial moment, her long hair comes loose and distracts her, causing her to lose focus. The scene shifts to Dong-ju, who comes across Ju-young at the customs office and ends up creating a scene until he's reported. Back at the station, Dong-ju tries to explain that Min Ju-young is the culprit behind the hit-and-run case, but without proof, he has nothing more to say. This is when Jong-hyeon arrives, and the two end up sparring, with Jong-hyeon winning the challenge and revealing that he'd practiced Taekwondo from a young age. While the officers are out, Gyeong-il's arrest makes the news. Dong-ju visits his mother, who believes he'll be released soon once the real killer is caught. This motivates Dong-ju to investigate the imported car Ju-young had used the night of the murder. Meanwhile, Jong-hyeon learns that Gyeong-il's case is being transferred to a new prosecutor, his own brother. From their interactions, it's clear there's bad blood between the two. Elsewhere, Dong-ju tries to convince Gyeong-il to let the truth come out, but to no avail. In the background, Ju-young orders a prison guard to kill Gyeong-il. The next day, Dong-ju finds out that Gyeong-il has died, his death staged as a suicide. The police find the prison guard's watch at the scene. Following this, Gyeong-il's mother cuts ties with Dong-ju as well. In a fit of rage, Dong-ju visits Ju-young and attacks him, throwing punch after punch. Dong-ju then refuses to do anything Ju-young had previously demanded in exchange for dropping the case. In the meantime, Han-na, who had sent in her resignation, finds a watch similar to Ju-young's in her father's belongings. We learn that her father had been in the police force as well. She visits a pawn shop where the owner tells her the watch is a limited edition used by a powerful and notorious smuggler, but he's unsure whether hers is genuine. After Ju-young gets rid of the prison guard for doing a sloppy job, which led to Dong-ju identifying him, he realizes someone has been going through the documents and suspects Han-na might be a risk to his empire. Back in his room, we find out that Gyeong-il had been a competitor of Dong-ju's, and it had been during a sparring match with Dong-ju that he was injured. He had never been Dong-ju's brother. The next day, a real estate agent visits Han-na's house, where she discovers that her mother, who works as an insurance agent, has listed her father's house to pay off her debt. We also learn that her mother had been the reason behind Han-na's loss of focus on the day of her championship; she'd been busy fixing advertisements. That same day, Han-na had suffered from a long-term illness as well. After walking out of the police station, Han-na collapses, only to be caught just in time by Dong-ju. Meanwhile, Jong-hyeon finds out that someone has been searching for Han-na's details at the police station. After talking to Han-na, and after she returns the medal Dong-ju had pawned, Dong-ju resumes copying the book he needs to complete in order to prevent Ju-young from suing him. The next day, Han-na retracts her resignation, and Jong-hyeon joins the team to protect her from the growing threat. Later, Dong-ju breaks into the customs office and confronts Ju-young, warning him that he's coming for him. The episode ends there. The Episode Review With every episode, Good Boy is turning out to be a tonal mess, with too many genres overlapping within the same storyline. Not only that, the main characters' personas clash, and apart from Dong-ju, no other character is given significant weight in the narrative. As a result, the rest of the characters often fade into the background. The comic timing and exhilarating action scenes that had been keeping the show alive in the past two episodes have now taken a backseat. In their absence, the weaknesses in the plot and storytelling come to the forefront. Since Good Boy hinges on a weak and underdeveloped plotline, much of the episode feels disconnected and trivial. The characters themselves are painted with a shallow hand, their traumas don't land emotionally and feel trivial, mostly because the episode doesn't give enough time for those experiences to develop or breathe.
