The 49 3/4 Year Old Virgin

Larry always thought life had passed him by.

At nearly fifty, his world is small and predictable: work, quiet evenings at home, and caring for his aging mother. Love—especially the kind he secretly suspects he wants—has never felt like something meant for him.

But as his mother’s health declines, she gently pushes Larry to face the truth he’s avoided for decades: maybe it’s time he started living his own life.

With encouragement from Jacques (BARISTA BREWED LOVE), the charming and slightly mischievous barista at his favorite coffee shop, Larry begins exploring the world in ways he never imagined. What starts with late-night marathons of Asian BL dramas soon leads him to an unexpected online community of fellow fans—men his own age who understand exactly what it means to fall a little behind life’s schedule.

And that’s where he meets Sky.

Kind, funny, and just as new to this journey as Larry is, Sky might be the first person to truly see him.

Suddenly Larry finds himself experiencing everything he missed the first time around—awkward flirting, nervous first dates, and the thrilling, terrifying possibility of falling in love for the very first time.

At forty-nine and three-quarters.

The 49¾ Year Old Virgin is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply hopeful story about second chances, found family, and discovering that love doesn’t come with an expiration date.

Sometimes life is just waiting for you to press play.
