What Do You Think?
So, I have not had a chance today to listen to Howard Stern's show, so I don't know what happened. I do know that today, there was supposed to be a woman from San Diego who was going to auction off her virginity. To get around that touch issue of illegality, the consummation is going to take place at The Bunny Ranch outside of Las Vegas, where it just so happens her sister works. The woman, who goes by the name Natalie Dylan to protect her privacy, because as you know, there is no one who will recognize her from her photo is doing so to pay for her college education. Uh huh.
According to the information provided by her to the NY Daily News, she already has one degree and is going to use the money from the auction to pay for her Master's Degree. She wants to be a family therapist. Well, that seems like an ideal profession doesn't it? She sure can talk a lot about family. She says she has been forced to do this because her dad allegedly took out student loans in her name and so she has no money. Her sister turns tricks for a living for the same reason. Mom is a 4th grade teacher who doesn't agree with the decision.
Natalie says, "I don't have a moral dilemma with it. We live in a capitalist society. Why shouldn't I be allowed to capitalize on my virginity?"
Well, I guess legally there is not an issue with it, but will she counsel her patient's children the same thing? This is a woman who wants to get a doctorate at some point and deal with kids and parents. Do you want to visit her? Would you trust her opinion? To prove she is a virgin she will undergo a medical exam and a lie detector test. Oh, and in case you are thinking that the biggest bidder wins. Not so fast. She is going to pick the bidder she likes. Uh huh. So a woman who is going to sell her virginity is going to have second thoughts if one guy bids $1M, and is ugly, but the 2nd place guy is hot and bids $50K. I think we know what she will do.
I think what disgusts me about this whole thing is the fact she is promoting it so heavily. It seems less about having some guy pay for her virginity and more about trying to get her 15 minutes and a reality show or some other way to make money besides being a therapist. I'm surprised she didn't offer to throw in her sister for a 3some if the offer was high enough.
The owner of the Bunny Ranch said, "I think it's a tremendous idea. Why lose it to some guy in the backseat of a Toyota when you can pay for your education?"
And of course why not encourage her to do it because you are getting publicity and a big cut of the proceeds. Maybe I'm wrong and all of you think it is a great idea. Let me know what you think.
