Bradley George (FGCU) Selling your Virginty

It was late at night and I was flipping through the channels on the TV and I came across something very interesting on MSNBC. They were reporting about this 22 year old girl who calls herself Natalie Dylan and she is auctioning her virginity to the highest bidder. She is using a fake name to try and conceal her real identity. She has a bunch of picture up online and this has been going on for a long time. People think that what she is doing is illegal, but she apparently found a way to make it not illegal because she will bring the person to The Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas and in that place prostitution is legal. She has been on the Tyra banks show and Howard Stern discussing why she is really doing this. She says that she is putting the money towards her master degree in Family and Marriage Therapy which I think is the most ironic thing ever. She says that her parents are very supporting of her and the decision. She will have to go to a Gynecologist to see if she is really a virgin. So far the highest bidder is at 3.8 million dollars.

                In her mind she is saying that this is empowering to her. This is very shocking because it looks like this is degrading her and all women because they are buying her virginity and she thinks that is ok. She does not have to go to the highest bidder if she does not want to. She reports saying that she is down for anything during the time of intercourse, so they can be creative. People are asking her that she might become attached to them and will be heartbroken, but she considers this a business transaction. There have been a lot of people applauding her for doing this and others think she is trash for doing this. It is her body and she can do what she wants with it.

                I think that what she is doing is completely ridiculous and she should be arrested for attempting to solicit prostitution. She is a lonely woman that just wants attention and thinks that this is the best way to do it. I think that she should lose her virginity to someone that she really loves and not some random guy that’s giving her millions of dollars. She thinks that this is a good decision right now because she needs the money, but when she is older and finally find someone that she actually loves she will regret doing what she did. Overall it is her decision and no one is going to change that. I just think that she will regret this even if she will be getting millions of dollars.
