Girl Auctions Her Virginity

Girl Auctions Her Virginity
It was an ancient Japanese tradition where a young Geisha's virginity was sought after, auctioned and highly paid. But a similar incident in the 21st century has made headlines world over.

Men are ready to pay up to 2,5 million pounds for the virginity of a 22 year old student, Natalie Dylan. A student pursuing masters degree in Family and Marriage therapy decided to auction off her virginity in order to pay for her studies.

The offer has interested more than 10,000 men who contest to bed Dylan. The bidding started in September, with offers reaching up to 162,000 pounds and the interest in her keeps growing every day.

Hailing from San Diego, California, USA, Dylan conceived the idea after her sister Avia, 23, got in to prostitution for three weeks in order to fund her degree. However, Dylan who holds a degree in Women's studies believes she is not demeaning herself.

Till date she has received response from all kinds of men, ranging from good to bad to weird, but believes in being able to sell ones virginity and is ready for any medical tests to clear any doubts.

"I get some men who are obviously looking for a girlfriend but I try and make it clear that this is a one-night-only offer," the Telegraph quoted her as saying. "I know that a lot of people will condemn me for this because it's so taboo but I really don't have a problem with that.

"My study is completely authentic in that I truly am auctioning my virginity but I am not being sold into this. I'm not being taken advantage of in any way.

"I think me and the person I do it with will both profit greatly from the deal. "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore," she added.

While some might be disgusted by her act, the fact that her offer has caught rapid attention cannot be ignored. AGENCIES
