pop the cherry
Lose one's virginity
Pop the cherry means to break a hymen during first vaginal intercourse, and by extension, to lose one's virginity.
The phrase has broadened to mean doing anything for the first time: I finally popped my cherry on roller coasters—rode my first one yesterday.
The expression is casual and mildly vulgar.
