VAMPIRE Diaries star Ian Somerhalder has revealed that he lost his virginity at 13 to an older woman.

The actor, 40 gave an insight into his first sexual encounter which happened at the age of 13 and even described it as "fun."

Speaking on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy earlier this week the star explained that at aged 13 he was keen to do the deed – despite the fact the age of consent in his hometown of Louisiana is 17 years of age.

"When you’re 13 and you’re a boy … boys are pretty on it," he explained to the host.

He puts his great talent in the bedroom down to his older brother who taught him how to treat a woman.

"He taught me a lot, and he was quite a Casanova," he said.

"He used to have girls in his bedroom all the time and what I did was, I went into the bottom corner of his window and I pinched the Venetian blinds. I pinched the blinds down so I’d have a clear view.

"When he had girls over — by the way, Louisiana gets cold in the wintertime, it’s freezing — I would go outside, put on all my stuff and my mum thought I was going out to play with the dog.

"I grabbed my hot chocolate, put on all my clothes, my mittens and stuff, and would watch and I learned a lot."

His brothers tips have certainly helped the hunk while he's getting down and dirty in the bedroom because the hunk tied the knot with American actress Nikki Read, 31 in 2015.

Despite his success in the bedroom, the actor is worried for what the future holds for his daughter Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder, 2 as he knows what younger boys are like.

He told host of the show Andy Cohen, 51 : "It's scary being a parent now, because you know all this stuff.

"You look at all these little dudes and it's so vastly unfair.

"All my friends who are guys who have sons are like yeah you're going to get a date and all the dads with daughters are like I'm going to kill these b******s."

When the pair decided that they were ready to try for a baby together Ian revealed that he threw out his wife's birth control without her knowing.

He told Us Weekly: "We decided that we wanted to have children together, and it was just time.

"But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realise that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control."
