In the 16th century, cherries were first used to allude to sensual parts of the body such as nipples or the "garden-plot of maiden-hair." In the 17th century, ripe cherries were likened to one's virginity, hence where the term "pop your cherry" came from!
Now sung about and seen in pop culture, cherries commonly symbolize sex and empower women 🍒
