Ian Somerhalder, whose new show 'V Wars' is now streaming on Netflix, has revealed that he first had sex when he was just 13 years old. The 40-year-old actor also revealed that the girl he lost his virginity to was 16 years old at the time.

The actor who is best known for his role as Damon Salvatore on 'The Vampire Diaries' in an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy on December 4, said: "It's fun when you’re 13 and you’re a boy. Boys are pretty on it."

Somerhalder, who is married to 'Twilight' actress Nikki Reed, did not express any regret on the matter and said that he knew a lot about the subject as he used to spy on his older brother, Robert, who is seven years his senior. "I had an older brother. My brother was seven years older than me, so he taught me a lot," Somerhalder said, adding, "And he was quite a Cassanova. He used to have girls in his bedroom all the time."

Somerhalder revealed that he would go to the bottom corner of his brother's window and pinch the Venetian blinds down when his brother had girls over in order to get a clear view. "I would watch, and I learned a lot."

He added that he would do this even when it was quite cold outside, leading him to bundle up in coat and gloves, and even bring hot chocolate along, to keep him warm while he spied on his brother and the girls.

Though Somerhalder believes that a lot of young teens are tuned in to their sexuality, he argued it's worse these days as kids have access to porn on the internet, saying, "Now kids are watching all this s*** on the internet and it's destroying society."

This knowledge has worried him about his own two-year-old daughter who he shares with Nikki Reed named Bodhi Soleil.

He admits that he is already apprehensive about his daughter meeting boys because of the things he saw growing up, saying, "It's scary being a parent now because you know all this stuff. You look at all these different dudes."

He added, "It's so vastly unfair. All my friends who are guys who have sons are like, 'Yeah, you're gonna get a date, you're gonna do this', [but] all the guys with daughters are like, 'I will kill these little bastards.'"
