Deflowered is the second studio album by American queercore band Pansy Division, released in 1994 on Lookout! Records.[3][4]

The cover features a photograph of Mark Ewert (left) and Joey Smith (right), taken by Marc Geller. Ewert also appears on the cover of Pansy Division's 1996 album Wish I'd Taken Pictures and their 2016 album Quite Contrary.

Critical reception

AllMusic praised Deflowered for its "wry, silly and heartfelt" songwriting, singling out singer Jon Ginoli's "engagingly nerdish" vocals and "sweetly enjoyable" harmonizing with bassist Chris Freeman.[1] Trouser Press wrote that "Ginoli’s melodic constructs are appreciably better on Deflowered; a raunchier guitar sound gives the improved second album more punk body."[5] The Dallas Observer called the album "snappy" and "rollicking," and deemed it the band's best.[6]
