They’re making the best “laid” plans.
The new virgin dating series “Are You My First?” hasn’t even premiered yet, but celibate singles are already hoping the show gets renewed for a second season — so they can lose their innocence on national television.
“I have never had so many virgins sliding into my DMs … But I will say this, if and when Season 2 happens, we will have a wide variety of virgins flocking to the show,” its co-host, former “Bachelor” Colton Underwood, told The Post ahead of its Aug. 18 premiere.
“I’ve also received a lot of friends nominating people. And then when you click on their profile, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, they would be good.’ I definitely have a list of screenshots and saves for Season 2 for casting.”
The Hulu series, which was created by the producers of “Love Island,” follows 21 virgins — ranging in age from 24 to 34 — on their quest to lose their v-cards.
Underwood’s co-host Kaitlyn Bristowe, who starred as “The Bachelorette” in 2015, faced backlash for being the first leading lady to speak openly about having sex — admitting she did the deed with more than one contestant.
The 40-year-old Canadian native said the terrible way she was treated back then has helped her sympathize with the virgins.
“It gave me a bit more empathy for people who chose not to have sex because I was like, ‘Well, who am I to judge those people seeing how badly I got judged?’” she said.
Bristowe found it surreal to see the virgins so reserved when it came to kissing — with one of the contestants, 28-year-old Katya, a theatre artist from Manhattan, going so far as to tell the man she was interested in he’d have to “earn” her smooch.
“I was thinking of my night one as ‘The Bachelorette.’ And that was like child’s play to me because I was like, ‘I’m gonna make out with as many as I can and see who I have chemistry with.’”
Bristowe, who got engaged to personal trainer Shawn Booth on “The Bachelorette” and dated him for three years before their split in 2018, said it was refreshing to witness the cast’s “intentional” approach to courtship.
“We are so used to the craziness that we see on usual reality TV shows with dating where I’m like almost uncomfy, where this is like a sweeter, softer version,” she said.
“It’s also crazy that we see somebody have their first kiss on camera ever. That’s wild to me.”
Underwood, 33, starred as “The Bachelor” in 2019, and at the time, he was a virgin. The Indiana native ended up dating contestant Cassie Randolph, a speech pathologist, for almost two years — and when they split, he confessed he was gay.
“Mine is a very complex story that America now knows,” he said.
“I think that when people watch this show, they’re really going to understand there’s so many reasons that people decide not to lose their virginity at a young age.”
Several of the “Are You My First?” contestants — many of whom are Mormon — revealed their religion was preventing them from giving it up.
“As a Christian man, it is easy to hide behind your faith — and I say that with all the respect to my faith and to Christianity — when you have other insecurities and other traumatic things that you’re trying to work through,” said Underwood.
Although the fact that some of the contestants — like a cocktail waitress and an NFL cheerleader — were still virgins may shock viewers, the hosts said they were not surprised.
“You spend a minute around them and you’re like, ‘Oh, I get it now,’” Underwood said.
The hosts also had their fill of boring banter and anemic pickup lines — like when Michael, 26, a stand-up comedian from Austin, TX, revealed his celebrity crush was the late 27th president, William Howard Taft.
“I didn’t even know who that is,” Underwood confessed.
Bristowe said it was the awkward silences that really got to her.
“Everything in me wants to step in and be like, ‘Somebody say something!’”
