Yes, it’s old news: A student, Natalie Dylan, is selling her virginity to the highest bidder. The present highest bid for the sex, which is to happen at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Nevada? $5 million:

AN Australian businessman is leading a $5 million online bidding war to claim the virginity of a 22-year-old student.

He is just one among more than 10,000 men bidding for the promised night of passion.

Miss Dylan’s offer first came to light in September, when the offers reached more than $350,000, but bids have now reached $5.6 million.

The Sun reports an unnamed 39-year-old Australian businessman is now the highest bidder.

My only problem with all this? The woman is not attractive or special or striking. She is as plain as a plank of wood.

This is not about sex with a beautiful woman (which she is not) but about the price—how high can it go? Money always ends up being about itself—the universal equivalent.

  1. Just did a little reconnaissance at the Bunny Ranch website and found “Eric the midget New Years Eve party with Air Force Amy,” and “Pregnant Bunny Look at her Now! Yum!!!” The virgin doesn’t even get top billing.

  3. Why do some women think being orange is like being tanned. It isn’t. Beside that, virgins are a serious fetish. What would some young virgin starlet get?

  4. The position of her body and the optics of the camera lens are what make her feet look so big. It’s an optical illusion because of lens distortion.

    Oh, and way to be a gross dickhead, Charles.

  5. When I first saw a pic of her, it was a nice change to see something different than the same ol’ pug-nosed American-looking girl. It’s refreshing. We can’t keep looking at the same face or body over and over again. It’s boring! Only skinny blond girl with fake tits are “worth” 5 million?
    No.
    If anything, I’m glad she’s pointing out that, at least.

  7. A few points:

    – By any reasonable standards, this is an attractive woman. Big nose? I love big noses. (And hers isn’t really all that big.) Big feet? Who the hell cares? I’ve never in my life known a straight man who cared about a woman’s feet, unless it was an out-and-out fetish. I go by what I call the “blind date” rule. If I were set up on a blind date and this person showed up, would I be disappointed or relieved? If this big-nosed prostitute (no judgment, just stating the facts) showed up, I’d be very relieved.

    – The writers who think she’s “ugly inside” and are upset about this whole stunt being about “owning another person” need to get a grip. She seems like a very smart woman, and I honestly don’t see why more women don’t whore themselves, at least occasionally. I sure as hell would, if I were a halfway-attractive woman. How is this different from the upper-crust bride who holds out for a certain carat diamond ring? More power to you, Miss Dylan. This is what feminism is all about.

    – To #39: you should definitely offer up your heterosexual virginity. I’m not sure you’d get millions, but I guarantee you you wouldn’t have to work for a year or two afterwards. Let us know what you decide!

  8. I thought of another point to add: if she could convince her sister to join her in this stunt (even though she’s no longer a virgin), she could double – no, triple – the amount she’s making. Two of the biggest male fantasies are defloration and sisters. Now, if their mom’s cute….

  9. I hope she gets the money up front. She wants to sell something someone wants to buy? Fine by me. Getting ripped off would really suck, though

  11. @58anon,
    I couldn’t agree with you more. Without being judgemental but yet cynical, we all know what she is. Hey bully for her. It’s the guy I wonder about. Is he an imbecile? I mean $7 million! Not a few virgins would sell for much, much less. I think of the possibility of fraud too. Virginity can be surgically “restored”. Kinda weird. I’m thinking more & more it’s a publicity stunt.

  15. Has anyone commenting here ever actually deflowered a (real, live) girl?? It’s generally not that fun: blood, nerves, let down. I’d rather pay 5 mil to be the last dude some girl ever f*cks.

  18. This is not about sex with a beautiful woman (which she is not) but about the price—how high can it go?
    I’m sure that a smart cookie can get her for free…
    Wait, to sell the virginity online? I thought prostitution is illegal…
