So why is Colton Underwood’s intimacy status such as big deal to America? Probably because a man being that sexually innocent in this day and age is such a rare find. Especially among young, attractive athletes such as Colton. The nation is amazed at his ability to remain strong for so long. Colton states initially, his sexless status was intentional.
However, throughout the years, sports dominated his time and his personal life became less of a focal point. The first night of The Bachelor was rather interesting. Colton Underwood met a variety of different women, all desiring his heart. He was greeted by a sloth, served nuts, and received a box of butterflies. He was also reminded of his virginity quite a bit. A bachelorette even popped a red balloon, referencing it as a cherry.
