Auctioning her Virginity • High Bid? $3.7 M • Good Business or Feminist Mind Fuck?

Bidding in the auction for the virginity of Natalie Dylan, a 22-year-old student from San Diego, Calif., has reached absurd new highs. The Daily Telegraph has the story, saying that the price has now hit $3.7 million:
Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed.


The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.

Natalie Dylan has appeared on the Howard Stern show and is conducting this transaction through Nevada's Bunny Ranch brothel. Natalie Dylan photos are readily available online and are, unsurprisingly, a popular search term.

It is good business from a feminist mindfuck. Any woman with religious morality would frown upon this. On the other hand, if your only morality is dictated by self interest, well...JACKPOT. Why the hell didn't I think of that?!!!heheheheheheheh

I hear you M.

But the commodification of the ... punany has a broader inverse symbolic significance: The devaluation of what is sacred about sex.

Which is what much of the Secular Fanaticism packaged as "free will" and stuffed down the throats of Americans via MTV and HBO is designed to do.

The biggest problem that I have with this is that she has to split the money 50/50 with the Bunny Ranch owner (I saw the story on Tyra). If she were smart she would keep all of her profits and just get a business license in NV before the fact. Also, FYI she's not going to the highest bidder, she's determining who she will lose it to based on their bids and who she prefers. It may not be a "me" thing to do but I do think it's pretty damn smart. She can repent later if she wants.
