Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the writers of Captain America: The First Avenger, don't think that Steve Rogers, the titular Captain America, remained a virgin during the events of the 2011 Marvel Studios film.

The question of whether or not Rogers ever lost his virginity during his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one that's been often raised by fans, given the character's "Boy Scout" nature. Some remain committed to the idea that Rogers didn't have sex until he traveled to the past to stay with Peggy Carter, while others think he lost his virginity at some point during his time as an Avenger. In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Markus and McFeely offered up their thoughts on the topic. "I think he loses his virginity!" McFeely said. "Why do people think he’s a virgin?"

McFeely suggested that Rogers likely got some action during his USO tour that introduced him as Captain America and saw him promoting war bonds. "If you look like that, and you're going to city to city, and you're signing autographs for the likes of the ladies that he's signing the autographs for, I've got to imagine that [he lost his virginity]," McFeely explained.

Rogers was chosen to represent the American spirit during World War II following his victory over HYDRA spy Heinz Kruger. The tour had Rogers engage in fully orchestrated shows accompanied by the dancing chorus Star Spangled Singers -- all while clad in the colorful getup that would become his Avengers costume. Rogers gave speeches on the role of American citizens during the war and showed off his strength -- similar to John Walker's introduction to the role in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Markus agreed with McFeely's comments on Rogers' tour. "And the thing to remember is Steve Rogers isn't a prude. He may be occasionally presented that way. He's a guy that believes in right and wrong and all these things, but he's not a choirboy. He's a World War II veteran."

McFeely and Markus themselves are responsible for writing all three Captain America films: Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, in addition to Thor: The Dark World and both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. While Rogers having lost his virginity in Captain America: The First Avenger isn't canon per se, McFeely and Markus' comments suggest that the Avenger's moral compass did not restrict him from pursuing some romance during his downtime, and before his reunion with Peggy Carter.
