Jax Taylor is exploring his past on his podcast In the Mind of a Man.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 45, revealed to sex therapist Dr. Emily Morse that he was a 'late bloomer' due to his 'conservative uprising' in Shelby Township, Michigan.
'Sex wasn't really a big thing then. I didn't lose my virginity until I was 19,' he told Dr. Morse.
'I don't even think I had the sex talk with my dad,' Taylor said, adding that his high school experience was similar to the 1999 comedy film American Pie.
'That's good. Sounds like you waited till you were ready,' Morse replied, before joking, 'And then you never stopped.'
Fans went wild over the news as several said 'no way, come on!' and another shared, 'Dude was vintage by the time he did it.' Then there was someone who talked his ex Brittany Cartwright: 'Honestly I think he needs to either rekindle with Brittany or not and move out of LA. Live a simpler life.'
The reality TV star recently revealed his addictions to alcohol and cocaine and has been working on them. He also said recently that he hit 100 days sober from alcohol and cocaine.
'That was my neighborhood. Very [much like] my friends. People left their doors open. It was just nothing went wrong.'
Jax considered himself the life of the party when he used drugs and alcohol.
'I was invincible when I'd go on dates, I have everything to talk about, I'm the life of the party,' he explained.
'Now I'm taking the backseat and all that. I'm scared because I feel like I'm not gonna be as fun or interesting,' Taylor added, referring to his sobriety.
The day before his conversation with Dr. Emily Morse, he sat down with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew and wondered if he was a sex addict.
'I think I dabbled in it a little bit. I'm not in recovery for that, no. I'm just kind of sticking with the substance abuse right now and trying to figure that out,' he said.
'Maybe we'll branch into that later. I'm trying to fix one problem before I get to the other problems. I'm trying to patch it.'
Taylor also said that he thinks he has deep rooted issues that he masked with the drugs and alcohol.

'I personally don't think alcohol and drugs were the problem,' he said.
'I was just masking my issues with the drugs and alcohol. I don't think I have an alcohol problem, but I do have a substance problem, but they go hand in hand, so I had to quit both.'
In September, Jax revealed he'd been diagnosed as a narcissist with bi-polar disorder and PTSD.
'I breadcrumb, I love bomb [and also] gaslighting. I'm missing some but I do all these things. I had no idea there were terms for these things,' he said on an episode of his When Reality Hits podcast.
Jax revealed he's had a cocaine problem for 20 years on an episode of Bravo's Hot Mic podcast.
'I have substance issues — primarily with cocaine. It’s hard to say out loud. I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I’m 45,' he began. 'There was times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I’d go heavy on it.
Jax's estranged wife Brittany Cartwright, 36, discussed his drug abuse on the couple's When Reality Hits podcast on March 7.
'No one wants Jax to be better more than I do, let’s be real. I tried and tried and tried for years to help this man get better and for us to be a happy family, I was deeply and madly in love with him, there’s no one that can ever deny that. You know? My love was real,' she said.

I'm glad that he finally admitted to what was really going on,' Cartwright said in a statement to People.
'For the first time, I can speak openly about the extent of trauma he’s instilled on our family over the years.'
She added: 'I’ve tried desperately to help him without success. I pray that one day he completely knocks this addiction, but I’m skeptical. His behaviors are still alarming and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum.'
