"I have never seen a story where first kiss/first love/loss of virginity was THE defining coming-of-age experience for a male character."

The White Mercedes by Philip Pullman.

(You said a story, not a good story.)

"Horns" by Joe Hill. Not YA and dark as fuck, but funny.

[(Anonymous)]

"Araby" or "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by Joyce
"The Road Back" by Remarque

What the author is missing, beyond historical depth, is that many of the bildungsroman of the 19th and 20th centuries are romantic as hell...just queer.

Summer of 42

[philippos42]

It's a good exemplar of a whole genre that I think was once very common, but probably isn't part of the modern YA market.

Moonlight, although there were other things going on in Moonlight.

Doesn't Epic of Gilgamesh have this thing about Enkidu not even having been fully human until he loses virginity?
