I hardly think this is newsworthy, but surely no reason to be outraged. Worse is going on within a block of you at any given moment. Further, her decision in no way impacts my life or my morals– someone else’s bad behavior is not mine.

As to the value, I think she’s gotten far more than she’s worth. There are millions of women in the world, and this being a one-night stand she’s offering, and her not being the most attractive girl in her age range, you could spend a year with a better looking virgin every night for the kind of money she’s getting. Maybe a month if you restrict yourself to the first world. The worth that a chaste woman puts on her own self is not applicable here,
this is supply and demand. And she has way outperformed the market.

As for the end, I have to again point out that ‘the modern age’ has nothing to do with the individual, unless we are all truly our brothers’ keepers and our own morality is in their hands. I don’t think it is.

One more thing, this has nothing to do with the modern age, other than the method of advertising maybe. There were no ‘good old days’, no grand moral days. There is nostalgia, and there are families that lived as they should, then as there are now, but no period in time has some claim of moral superiority or inferiority.

There are still some of us who see this and realize what little value human life and human dignity have anymore. How crass and immoral our age has become. At least people used to have shame over things like this. Even when I was young but apparently no more.

From virgin to prostitute all in the same moment. How proud her parents must be of her and her sister.

What lucky guys will end up marrying these two.

Not sure the linked article really missed the mark…after all it is not the purity that is valued in this purchase…it is the destruction of that purity that is really of value to those who are bidding for it.

I have a moral issue with this…

No pu… errr… woman… errrr… sex… is worth 3.6 million.

Hell I won’t pay a hundred bucks

Anyway… what happened to the recession?

like the rest of us.

Gee, I traded mine for a pocketfull of used movie tickets and pizza parlor receipts.

Sorry, but as a sample of modern moral decay this silly story just doesn’t do current depavity justice.

The article is pretty short on facts, the most basic being where this was listed. This wouldn’t be allowed on something like ebay, and even if she listed this there hoping it would run up in price (and get attention) before being deleted, she is just going to to just get crazy illegitimate bids. There will never be any transaction. There’s also the issue that this is an illegal contract she wants to enter into here. Might be kind of difficult for either party to try to enforce that contract. So I don’t buy it.

As for the value… If this woman is willing to sell herself as a common prostitute to the highest bidder, where is the purity? There isn’t any. She had demonstrated far less purity than most sexually experienced women as a consequence of her offer of prostitution (bogus or real).

“One might observe that the whole impetus for her offer was a keen insight into how highly prized purity still is, even refracted through a distorting lens of degradation.”

A-freaking-Men!

Why pay $3.7 million for one virgin when Allah can give you 72 for…..

A sucker is born every day and I’m glad to see there isn’t a shortage! I sure would like to get my hands on the list of bidders.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find that deed to the Brooklyn Bridge. I know it’s around here somewhere…

If she was in Nevada, probably not a problem. But CA?

I have to say that the only women I’ve really loved in my life began their relationships with me as chaste, including the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. We spent more than year learning to be friends before we slept together and I don’t think that was time misspent: from the point of view of our relationship at the time, it made it much stronger — and much, much more difficult to sever.

The absolute worst and shortest-lived relationships, if you can even call them that, were the ones based on instant gratification. There were a few, and I’m quite sure that both parties regretted, or at the very least felt bittersweet about them afterward.

Aside from that, never neglect the Fark Factor in news that is reported by the Daily Telegraph. It’s a painful lesson to learn. Remember: it’s not news, it’s Fark!

I have the feeling that most people still aren’t promiscuous: they tend to joke around more than they’re serious about spreading it around. That’s because both men and women still know, despite all the licenses society has given them, that when you love someone, you really do love them, or something is wrong, probably with both of you.

It would be nice if more music reflected that again, though. There really aren’t very many good love songs today. I miss that. I miss songs like this:

This is just one of the simpler ones, there are many, many others. The world has become much coarser in that sense.

Somehow, I doubt one would find such an ad for a man. Where did the double standard for men and women come from? Men always seem to get a pass. The British papers before have dedicated stories to adult women who have remained pure their whole lives as though they were museum exhibits that belonged under glass (much as the mainstream media sees Christians who take their faith seriously).

Anyway, is virginity not something women (or society) values as much in men?

I don’t get it.
