The phrase riffs on the idiom 'lose one's virginity' by adding 'other' to signal a humorous 'second first-time' in a new context; the individual words give partial cues but the intended humorous/metaphorical meaning depends on idiomatic and cultural knowledge. A B1 learner who knows the literal words might infer a vague sense of a new or significant second experience, but would likely miss the specific idiomatic nuance without prior exposure.
Etymology
Losing my other virginity comes from a joking play on losing your virginity, which is the idea of a first, new experience, and adding 'other' makes it feel like a second 'first time'. So people use it when something feels brand new or like a big new step 'all over again'.
