My Virginity Is (Was) Worth WHAT!?

January 13, 2009 - 12:00 pm By Laura - St. John's

article-1113188-03070c5a000005dc-892_468×359.jpgLosing your virginity is an event that most of us anticipate so highly, we’re left feeling either disappointed in how it turned out or – if we’re lucky – it’s exactly as we imagined it would be. Whatever the case, and whether or not you’ve already lost your virginity, chances are it isn’t something you take very lightly.

One woman, however, takes the idea so lightly (or is so strapped for money), she’s decided to profit from it.

Natalie Dylan, a 22-year-old college graduate from San Diego, California, has decided to auction off her virginity for tuition money for grad school. She has agreed to make a one-night-only appearance at Nevada’s legal Bunny Ranch brothel with the lucky winner of the auction. When the story was first reported back in September on Howard Stern’s radio show, Dylan received bids of over $243,000. She claims that over 10,000 men have put in bids, recently reaching as high as 3.7 million dollars. (Editor’s Note: WTF? I gave that sh*t away for free!)

Although surprised at how far this has gone, she has said: “It’s shocking that men will pay so much for someone’s virginity, which isn’t even prized so highly anymore.” Or maybe it is. I mean, how many girls in their twenties are still holding onto that prized V-Card?

I just have to wonder why someone would be so willing to spend millions of dollars for a night of sex. Most guys I know are scared about taking a woman’s virginity.

What do you think? Is this entire situation weird, or is this girl one smart business woman?

    If I had known I could get 3.7 mill for a night of awkward sex, I would not have let my boyfriend swipe the card.

    Now that’s just crazy. I’m sitting on a jackpot here! I wonder if this auction would be just as popular the second time around… ;)

    It’s weird and I’m sure there’s some reason why it’s wrong and stands against the rights women have fought for but to be honest that sounds like an awesome idea! She’s only doing it once (we hope) and she’s going to be rich off of it! Sounds like a pretty smart idea to me. I just wonder what it’ll be like for her sitting in class knowing all her classmates are thinking about how she sold her virginity to be there…

    I think this goes to show how obsessed America is with the concept of virginity.

    3.7 million dollars?! What pathetic millionaire is trying to bang 20 year old virgins? Wow, I’m surprised, and yet, not surprised at all…

    I say good for her! If she can do it (and clearly she can) why the heck not? That’s amazing money that could really take her places.

    soo basically she’s a glorified prostitute…?

    I think it’s a great idea. Then again, I think if we just legalized prostitution it would be a cleaner, safer practice that we could tax and could be regulated in some ways like the porn industry (mandatory STI testing, etc).

    If I could have sold my virginity for millions of dollars, I would have. I wouldn’t have to worry about paying for college or my apartment or grad school. Sounds like a win-win to me.

    I wonder how well those fake virginity things work…haha.

    i get the whole it’s my body and i can do what i want with it mentality, but i manage to have enough second (and third and fourth…and fifth) thoughts about regular relationships that i can’t understand how she’s ok with giving up the v-card to a random. maybe she’s planning to set aside some of the money for the upcoming years of therapy…jmo

    and yea, i know that this is totally off topic…but that chick has got hella large feet!

    Maybe this is mean…but I’d find it so hilarious if after it’s all over turns out shes not a virgin.

    The Bunny House generally gets about half. Still, half is $3.7 mil is a lot…

    She’s selling her body to pay for grad school – but with such a reputation, what company will want to hire her after graduation? (That is, what company that would want a graduate degree…you don’t need a master’s to be a prostitute.)

    ha R, I thought the same thing about her feet.

    from the other side, though – not sure how excited i would be to enter into a relationship with the guy who paid several million dollars for what really is essentially prostitution – i have no idea how this isn’t considered illegal.

    oh, and i’m with alex – prostitution needs to be legalized and even unionized.

    I say kudos to this girl. She knows what she wants and she’s going to do whatever it takes to get it. The fact that she got the idea from her sister is pretty crazy though. She spent 3 weeks as a prostitute to raise money for grad school…that’s much ballsier in my opinion.

    I think she’s totally bsing the price just for attention and offers.
