Yep, you're right.

Be a billionaire, millionaire, whatever. I guess you either get ****ed one way or the other - right? OR perhaps, if you are fortunate, you get to decide if you are the "top" and not the "bottom"?

I agree. To make that type of money in such a fashion, it would make sense. Why not? Why wouldn't we all do something equally degrading? WHAT, if anything, could ever be more important? Perhaps self respect???? NAH! What would self respect mean anyhow? The ability to look yourself and your family members in the eye? Who in their right mind would care about that?

Oh, come on - this is not a "mistake" someone makes on the spur of the moment. This is a well thought out plan to sensationalize and make a whole lot of money.

No sugar coating to this - no sirree! Perhaps I should admire her forthrightness?

Hmmm, Humor me? look at the word forthrightness? Forth....right.....ness.

Ah well, I sincerely do wish her well and hope she is able to deal with the way she feels once all the hoopla is over with. Perhaps she will never feel "bad" or "upset" about this. Perhaps she will. I sincerely hope that at one point she does, for her sake.


"Sigh"......

>I hope she realizes that although she's selling her body for profit, she's also giving away her self-respect for free. Not a good business transaction if you ask me.<

Many girls trade sex for things, not just money. Sex for a trip to Europe with a guy they would never date. Sex for rent. Sex for a car.

The biggest downside is her face is known. Might hinder future jobs.

BTW Where is this auction? What is the current bid? No I’m not gonna bid. Just want to see how high it goes.

Don't forget that sex is treated so cavalier. Our society actually treats you like an alien if you haven't had sex by the time you're 19. At least this girl will have something to show for giving up her virginity in a "loveless" rendevous compared to many that just lose their self-esteem.

Hmm, yeah, I kind of agree with you. If sex is not considered holy, something special between a man and a woman who love each other, then what value is virginity? The difference between this young woman and the 16 year old (oh, wait, am I out of touch?) . . . eh, the 13 year old, who loses her virginity to some drooling schoolboy is that this young woman has a keener sense of personal finance.

Even an average looking prostitute/escort can make $250,000 easily these days and for some it's not a bad trade off.

"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," she said, according to the magazine.

Is this an example of "thinking outside the box"?
it is probably more likely an example of false advertising......
