Student auctions off virginity for offers of more than £2.5 million - Telegraph
I apologize if this has already been discussed...I have seen little clips about it here and there, but a line from the woman auctioning off her virginity in this article in the Telegraph struck me as interesting...
She talks about how she is not being taken advantage of, how she will pay for her education with the money, how she is being calm and rational...and the article concludes with her saying:
Are our cultural influences (tv, music, movies, magazines) and even our educational system ("You're going to do it soon anyway, so at least be safe."), teaching our young people something contrary to what people really feel? Or are them men willing to pay to sleep with a virgin just abnormal in their desire for a woman who has never had sex before?

"It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore."
