Deflowered is the second studio album by American queercore band Pansy Division, released in 1994 on Lookout! Records.[1] [2]

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. 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."[3] The Dallas Observer called the album "snappy" and "rollicking," and deemed it the band's best.[4]
All songs written by Jon Ginoli, except where noted.
