Plot summary
Jane, a high school senior, feels like she doesn't belong either in the ultra-conservative suburbs where she lives with her always arguing parents, or downtown if only because some of her colleagues at the Victoria, the downtown art house movie theater where she works, are constantly reminding her that she's from the suburbs. On an impromptu date with Steve, the "friend of a friend", Jane loses her virginity. The entire experience, which was both emotionally and physically bad, leaves Jane with bad taste about sex largely because she knows that Steve orchestrated the date to include sex without telling her. Beyond Matt - Steve's best friend - who she considers a boor, blowhard and drunkard, Jane confides in all her colleagues at the theater who she surveys about their first sexual experiences, those discussions when she learns their different and often misguided views of sex: Dave, her slightly older gay boss, whose first was somewhat different in he exploring his sexuality at the time; Ryan, the adorable geek who deep down Jane would have liked to be her first; party girl Grace who is hiding a not so secret secret associated with her sex life; and Ericka, the punk rocker who is also hiding a different kind of secret associated with her sex life. Things for Jane take a turn when Dave hires Tom, the proverbial good looking nice guy who shows an interest in her. Jane may have other things to think about in life as her movie theater colleagues and friends go through issues in their own lives.

Honest
This "Trojan Horse" Film Project . . .
. . . obviously was produced with the hope that it could be sold to a TV channel such as Hallmark or Lifetime, as an instrument of Aversion Therapy. Whether viewers are into straight sex, gay sex, music, drinking, or "art house flicks," it's highly unlikely that anyone who manages to stay awake for every excruciating minute of MARY JANE'S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE will be able to get up for ANY of these All-American pastimes ever again. If you remember the film collage to which the hero of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is subjected (by virtue of having his eyes taped open by The Authorities),you'll get an inkling of how manipulative and insidious NOT A VIRGIN actually is. As a propaganda piece for the Shaker Philosophy (that is, no more sex EVER; let Humanity die away),NOT A VIRGIN takes the Blue Ribbon. However, for anyone harboring the notion that they might want to ENJOY anything in the future--or simply have some fun--it's best to just say "NO!!" to NOT A VIRGIN.
Important! Sexy! Real!
I thought this movie was really bold. Yeah, this was a first feature for the film maker. Hopefully we'll see more projects from her in the future. This movie was really important to me. It rang very true. If I saw this movie in my preteens I would have been *WAY* more informed about sex. The film makes it okay for a chic to be in control of her sex life. How many films have shown a girl how to get off-- and not from or for a man's perspective? Don't get me wrong. The sex scenes
were not only only hot but they were awkward, very true to life. Very much like a first time. I loved this movie. My friends and I cheered at the end.
