Season 1 Episode 6 "Impractical Applications"

This Syfy Channel series is based on the novels by Lev Grossman. The setting is a magical post graduate school, so the actors are in their mid-twenties instead of being teenagers like the students at Hogwarts.

This episode has the first year students being challenged by the upper class students. For the third test, they are paired with another first year magician of the opposite sex and have to

[sighs] Tell that to the girl who lost her virginity with all her clothes on."

Unfortunately, this is a PG-13 rated series so it is all covered nudity, but the actors and actresses do a good job of conveying their embarrassment, especially since one of the couples has some unresolved sexual tension.
