Virginity for sale? – Ka-ching!
Two very disturbing news articles are highlighting what I pray is not the beginning of a new trend in the continuing decline of humanity’s values. Oh, it is nothing new, there have been examples of it before, but now we are seeing a US and an Italian girl jumping on the bandwagon and with the resultant media coverage, it won’t be long before it is glamorised into the latest pop-culture phenomenon.
The latest example is the Italian girl, 20 years of age, who just happens to be a bikini model and showgirl, offering up her virginity for $1 Million Euros ($1.8 Million Dollars).
First the “Ludicrous Humorous” – The girl is selling her virginity. Yes, it’s prostitution, and in this case, given the nature of the female body and the concept of virginity, it is technically the sale of body parts, or the destruction of said parts. The news article states that her family backs her claims of virginity, citing her ‘devout’ catholic faith and discipline with prayer every night…
Now, I’m not a Catholic, so I can’t speak from personal knowledge, but I can’t imagine that a career path of prostitution and the sale of body parts is in keeping with the religious doctrine of the Catholic Church. Call this Beagle crazy but… What the?
A prior example is the 22-year-old (some news articles put her age at 18) United States woman auctioning her virginity off at a Nevada brothel, apparently where her sister works to put herself through college. Now, clearly education is not getting any cheaper, but what ever happened to the glamour job of checkout chick at the local grocery store? The price tag for this girl’s body parts is also around $1 Million dollars. Before her, a Peruvian girl had auctioned her virginity for $1.5 Million in 2005 but didn’t go through with the transaction at the last minute.
The problem I see with this is the creation of a new high priced ‘market’ for virginity. I guess we can just call it female virginity, as I don’t expect many guys are going to be able to sell their virginity off anytime soon. Do we really want to see a greater and more public market for the trade of women and their sexual initiation? This is not just prostitution; this could lead to something far far worse.
What about when parents decide to auction off their daughter’s virginity for them? What about when some start auctioning off the virginity at ages under 18? Where is the scrutiny or the protection against the obvious opportunity of abuse? Why bother saving for your retirement when you can just have a couple of daughters and earn a cool $2-3 Million upon maturity of your new fleshy investment nest egg?
Sounds gross I know, but this is the slippery slope that such a new ‘market trend’ is going to lead down.
I don’t think you can legislate against something like this, or at least, I can not see how any such legislation could be enforced, but please, people, ladies, stop and think about what you are starting. Stop looking at the easy short term gains and think about the long-term effects on yourself and other women around the world. Is this really what we want for the future generations of women?
Woof!

Well said, the whole thing disgusts me and further exemplifies the corruption and fall of society into HELL.
I also don't think much of the blogger who introduced the subject, but then again, I rarely think much of those 'ever so popular' disgraces.

Man walks up to girl in bar, and says:
"Would you sleep with me for a million bucks?"
Thinks on it for a while, and responds:
"OK"
"What about for ten bucks, then?"
"What do you think I am? A common prostitute?"
Him.. "We've already established that! Now, we're just haggling over the price"
