It's long been debated by fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe whether or not Captain America is still a virgin. In fact, there's been a running gag within the MCU fandom about how Steve Rogers is a "100-year-old virgin".

Obviously, the films have never truly addressed the issue and we've never actually seen Steve Rogers get physically intimate with other women except for that time when he smooched Peggy Carter's niece Sharon.



Now, according to the writers of the Captain America film trilogy, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, there's absolutely no doubt that the Star-Spangled Man with a Plan has gotten laid on more than one occasion in the MCU, despite the popular theory surrounding his sexual life, or lack thereof.

When asked about it during an interview with Yahoo's Kevin Polowy, McFeely said: "I think he loses his virginity! Why do people think he's a virgin? I think if you look like that, and you're going city to city, and you're signing autographs... The likes of the ladies you're signing autographs for... I gotta imagine that..."

Markus, on the other hand, said that Steve Rogers isn't afraid to engage in any form of sexual activity: "Steve Rogers isn't a prude! He may be occasionally presented that way, but he's a guy who believes in right and wrong and all these things - but he's not a choir boy. He's a WWII veteran."

Obviously, the entire "Cap is still a virgin" argument stemmed from the fact that many believe he was saving his virginity for Peggy Carter. As romantic as that sounds, I also don't think Steve was able to resist temptation from several women especially after he was shot with the super-soldier serum. I mean, there's no shame in admitting that he's not a prude and I don't think he's naive either.

Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Captain America 4 is rumored to be in development.
