Crude but widely understood slang for losing one's virginity, historically applied to girls and women but now used more broadly for anyone's sexual debut. Beyond the literal sense, 'cherry-popping' has expanded metaphorically to mean any first-time experience that breaks a significant personal barrier — a first skydive, first tattoo, first visit to a city. The extended figurative use is generally playful and not considered especially offensive in casual conversation.
The venue was packed with first-timers; management joked it was a cherry-popping night for half the crowd.
