Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rhasha is a 42 year old virgin Credit: TLC 2 She never had sex with her husband Credit: TLC 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.

"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."

Meet TLC's 42-year-old divorced virgin who is into BDSM
Move over, Steve Carell, there's a new 40-year-old virgin. Rhasha Newkirk, a 42-year-old divorced virgin who is interested in BDSM, is one of the subjects of TLC's new reality series 'Virgins' (premiering Monday, June 9 at 9 p.m.). 'I actually feel great about being a virgin,' Newkirk, who lives in Jacksonville, FL, exclusively told The Post. Advertisement 6 The poster for the new TLC series 'Virgins.' TLC 'I think the main misconception about being a virgin late [in life] is that people just think that you're weird,' Newkirk, who has a YouTube channel, added. 'They think, 'Oh, there's something wrong with you.' And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. [Someone's reasons] could be cultural. It could be the way you grew up.' She quipped: 'I'm not embarrassed at all.' Advertisement The show follows four virgins in their 30s and 40s as they navigate dating and their social lives. In addition to Rhasha, there's Sonali, a 37-year-old in Hollywood, Calif., who has some conservative attitudes about sex; Alex, a 34-year-old in Reading, Penn., who still lives in his parent's attic and is awkward with women; and Deanne, 35-year-old Los Angeles, Calif., resident who is picky and dismissive towards most men who ask her out. Newkirk said that the reason she's still a virgin in her 40s is because 'I know what I deserve.' 6 Rhasha Newkirk on 'Virgins.' TLC Advertisement 6 Rhasha Newkirk on 'Virgins.' TLC She added that she grew up watching her father pay for lunch and buy flowers for her mom. 'He'll do all these things, and that's what I'm used to…Some men today aren't stepping up to the plate like they should. And, I'm not going to tolerate the bare minimum.' Rhasha was married briefly to a South Korean man she met on a dating app. But, he was allegedly using her for Green Card status, so their marriage was never intimate, she explained. Advertisement 6 Rhasha Newkirk on 'Virgins.' TLC As to how she can possibly know that she's into BDSM – the practice made famous by the '50 Shades of Grey' series — she told The Post she's aware of her interest because she's 'got the Google!' Newkirk added that since she's 'not young,' she's aware of various sexual practices, even if she hasn't participated in them yet. 'Just being curious about things…I know everything,' she said, including what she 'wants to explore.' 6 Sonali, Deanne, Alex, and Rhasha on 'Virgins.' TLC 6 Rhasha Newkirk on 'Virgins.' TLC 'I think when [people] see someone who's an older virgin, they're like, 'how? Like, don't you have urges?' Absolutely, I have urges. But, I have my self-love.' Newkirk said that she knows her situation is unique. Advertisement 'But I also know that I'm not the only one with this type of story. And, I feel that people who choose to have their virginity [late in life] need representation,' Newkirk shared. 'You don't have to follow society or a timeline that guides people on how to do things. It's okay to be true to yourself and be authentic to yourself, and trust the journey that it will happen at the right time.'
