A Spanish politician’s public description of how he lost his virginity in a brothel has angered his female counterparts, who accused him of encouraging prostitution.
Miguel Angel Revilla, head of the government of the northern region of Cantabria, told a television interviewer earlier this week that he had paid the first time he had sex at the age of 18.
Female members of the regional parliament from the opposition conservative Popular Party were outraged. “As the head of the regional government, he should be an example for the young people of Cantabria,” they said in a communique.
“Instead he encourages them to pay for their first sexual experience.”
Thursday, Revilla, a member of a regional party, accused his critics of hypocrisy and said they were unable to find matters of substance on which to attack him.
“There are major problems which need to be addressed now, not what a poor 18-year-old did,” said Revilla, who is now 65, adding: ” Ninety-nine percent of Spanish men did it back then.”
Ah, the good ‘ol days.
I paid for my first time, too.
I bought flowers.
I bought dinner.
I paid for the movie.
I owned the car and thus bought the gas and paid the insurance and the car note.
I rented the hotel room.
All in all, it came to over $150. I guess that was expensive in those days.
Up, you might want to fix the spelling in the headline for this story…
As is all too prevalent on the internet these days, you have added one too many letter “o”s in the word LOSE.
Sigh!
Look at all the money he saved in comparison to the future first for that Italian model.
Last time I “loosed” my virginity, it didn’t come back – so the headline does make some odd kind of sense. 8)
What a wuss.
Who is this guy, and why would I care if he paid to get some, or even insert strange objects in strange places?
They were both consenting adults, I frankly do not care if one or the other got paid for it.
#2 Bravo!!!!
If you paid for it. It was loose.
Just in the navy across the border, but is was not the 1st.
Man, I never could understand guys that were buy-sexual.
“Female members of the regional parliament from the opposition conservative Popular Party were outraged.”
Why, they can’t even get paid for it?
Poor virgins.
”Ninety-nine percent of Spanish men did it back then.” To the same girl?
Come on man its Spain. The women are muy caliente.

By the contrary, if they were caliente, he would have never needed to pay…
When he was 18, Spain was a right wing dictatorship with strict catholic social rules. Women were supposed to marry virgin. But men were supposed to be “experienced” in marriage. Well there’s a contradiction right there…Prostitution was tolerated to solve this.
You can never judge people’s behaviour in light of present day social norm.
This guy’s the biggest hick in spanish politics. Check out Cantabria, little bit of coast mostly mountains, the other day he visited my town, Bilbao (not Cantabria, Vizcaya) and he came out on TV assuring us that he did not visit a brothel while he was here. I mean, this guys got no class and just a minimum of culture. As far as politicians spains got the whole gamit of variety. Every kind of clown you’ll ever wanna see.
I wonder if that was the same time and place Cheney received his first Hot Carl?
I apologize. This is very wrong of me. Carl, please forgive me.
#15 – Sounds like USA pols.
What’s a brothel?
