Pop one's cherry

Does anyone know where this phrase comes from? I obviously know what it means but would love to know its origins!

Well, if memory serves, women bleed when they "lose" their virginity. Blood is red. Cherries are red. Then there's the forbidden fruit element. That's all I know about that.

The "cherry" in question, I believe, refers to the hymen, which is ruptured ("popped") when a girl has sex for the first time.
