How it's used
This expression carries a strong sense of objectification and is considered quite crude or vulgar in most social settings. It frames the act of losing one's virginity as a loss of value or a transaction, reflecting old-fashioned and patriarchal attitudes toward female chastity. Because of this, it is rarely used in polite conversation and is mostly heard in gossip or among close friends who are being intentionally blunt or disrespectful.
Examples
They haven't been dating long, and the girl has already lost her virginity.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with literally eating pork, which is just 食燒豬 or 食豬肉. Using this phrase in a casual or lighthearted way can be highly offensive, as it implies the person who lost their virginity has been 'consumed' or 'used'.
